As you can see even multi-day tickets saw a dramatic increase from last year going up anywhere between $50 and $60.  The question of the matter is Disney outpricing themselves with these price increases?

Original Story:

It happens every February so this shouldn't come as a shock but ticket prices will be increasing starting tomorrow February 12 at Walt Disney World. Last year, Walt Disney World introduced tiered ticket pricing for single day tickets and those tiers will see an increase. 

Lower-tier tickets will see an increase of $2 to $99 up from $97. Mid-tier tickets will see an increase of $5 to $107 up from $102. Finally, peak-season tickets will also see an increase of $5 to $119 up from $114. These prices are for Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. 

At Magic Kingdom, prices will increase during value and regular season, but the peak price for tickets at the park will remain unchanged at $124. Mid-tier tickets will see an increase of $5 from $110 to $115. These ticket prices for adults do not include tax. Tickets for children ages 3-9 will also see an increase. 

Annual ticket prices will also see an increase beginning tomorrow. Florida Resident Gold passes with blockout dates during Christmas and spring break will see an increase of $10 going up from $549 to $559. Platinum passes with no blockout dates will increase $30 going from $649 to $679. 

Guests purchasing multi-day tickets online or through their phones will receive a $20 discount on Magic Your Way bundles for 3-10 day tickets. All tickets will now have expiration dates starting tomorrow, and the dates of expiration will vary. 

Preferred parking will also see an increase to $40. We will also see an elimination of the "water park fun and more" standalone option, which had combined admission to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach with a golf outing or a visit to the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. Guests will still be able to purchase this option with a Park Hopper ticket.

A full breakdown of the new ticket pricing should be released so stay tuned.

Florida Resident Discover Disney Discount Tickets Return, New Elephant Calf Born, & More

Florida Resident 3 & 4-Day 'Discover Disney' Discount Tickets Return:


Is Pandora Opening Memorial Day Weekend?
The Florida Resident 'Discover Disney' Discount tickets are returning beginning today (January 4) and running through June 9, 2017. Tickets come in 3 or 4-day tickets with 3-day tickets will cost $139 for ages 3 and up and $159 for 4-day tickets for ages 3 and up. Guests wanting to add the Water Parks Fun & More Option will be able to add it as a discounted price as well.

There are some blackout dates for Animal Kingdom as well which has been causing fans to wonder if this has to do with Pandora: The World of Avatar opening at the park. The blackout dates are from May 27 through the end of the ticket use dates of June 9, 2017. May 27 is the beginning of Memorial Day weekend, the official beginning of U.S Summer Season at theme parks. Disney recently announced that Pandora: The World of Avatar would open Summer 2017 so these dates make sense.

New Elephant Calf Born at Disney's Animal Kingdom:


Today, Disney's Animals Environment & Sciences Team announced the birth of a new elephant calf at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The calf named Stella, was born recently and is now roaming the savannas along with her mother Donna on Kilimanjaro Safari's. Donna, is 28-years old gave birth to Stella, who is the seventh elephant born at the park. 

Donna and Stella spent a short time backstage where Stella began nursing, bonding with mom, and getting to know some of the other elephants in her family. This is the third calf for Donna, who has given birth to two other female calves, Nadirah in 2005, and Luna in 2010. Stella raises the number of elephants in the Disney’s Animal Kingdom herd to 10, including three males and six females.

Check out this video of Stella taking her first steps on the savanna that the Disney Parks Blog released:
