Even Disney Thinks Disney Trips Are Too Expensive
Price hikes have put the happiest place on Earth out of reach for many Americans
Yvonne Kindell had been thinking about a trip to Disney World for years. In November, she finally got the chance to take her family of four.
The trip left Kindell, a bank compliance officer in Bear, Delaware, feeling discouraged about the expense — especially after recent price hikes. Two days of park tickets cost $1,123. Passes that let them skip the line at popular attractions: $208. A meal with costumed characters, including Donald and Daisy: $219. Two tubes of Mickey Mouse bubbles: $60.68.
“It was very stressful to think all the time about how much we were spending,” Kindell said — even though she and her husband, a warehouse driver, weren’t paying for it all themselves. Her parents covered the cost of lodging and airfare for the children, ages 10 and 4. Kindell spent a total of $3,000. She has no plans to return. The happiest place on Earth has long felt like one of the most expensive places on earth to many Americans — but the allure of a magical family vacation still draws visitors. So when post-pandemic demand soared, Disney accelerated price increases, putting a visit to its theme parks out of reach for many American families. Attendance growth has slowed in recent years, and even some families who were once regulars are canceling their trips. Adult single-day passes at Disneyland surpassed the $200 mark for the first time in October. They are now $206 on the theme park’s most popular days, more than $100 more than admission on the park’s cheapest day. Five years ago, FastPasses to skip the lines were free. Now, guests can choose from three different tiers of passes to get this privilege — the most expensive of which comes in at $449 per person per day. Giving up on this can mean spending an hour or more waiting in line for the most popular attractions, eating into guests’ fun time.
