my guess is the later - that everything will go up by a double digit percentage of their current price (though the exact percentage likely will vary based on what they are trying to push more - shorter or longer ticket lengths .... I forget exactly but I think last year it was like the 3 days went up a lot more %-wise than the 4 day pass or something like that)

Semi-related... I started looking at UT ticket prices to try and figure out which ones I should buy to save the most... and I don't know where their "Save $___ of adult gate prices" comes from. All this ticket stuff is making me feel very stupid this morning, and I'm sure there is something obvious I'm missing.

I've tried it with various tickets, but for instance a 5 day MYW ticket is $374.95 on UT and it says you save $40 on the adult gate price. Meaning the Disney price for the same ticket should be 414.95. But it is $394.05 after tax. That's only a $20 savings. Even less if UT's price doesn't include tax, but I believe it does. I guess the lesson is, don't take UT's word for how much you're saving.

They are off what you would pay at the gate, not website.

Wow. I never even knew there was a different gate price. The idea of someone walking up to the gate to purchase tickets is so foreign to me I never even considered it. Thank you.

. I totally agree. I only know because I had the same question myself. What I want to know why is 4 days with bonus day not the same at a 4 day ticket instead only like $5 less than the 5 day.

I just saw on WFTV Channel 9 Facebook page that earlier they did a flyover of the DHS construction.

It looks pretty good so far. I haven’t watched the whole thing yet. Was anxious to come on here and share. Hope the link works.

*EXHALES* When this post first popped up, I saw it was from a news station and I thought there had been some accident they were covering...

ETA: Not "news station," but local news on a local station.

Sorry- didn’t mean to worry anybody. Yes It’s a local station. Must be a slow news day and they don’t need the helicopter anywhere else. I just thought people might enjoy seeing the work done so far - from above.

Just the beginning my friend.......

Another $50 next year before SWL opens.

And another $50 for the 50th... This is the other side of the investment in the parks and the need for the parks to carry the revenue. That being said, prices went up when it seemed like there was no investment, so at least you are getting something for that investment now.

Not everyone can do that though.

True, and so in a way they're having guests self-select themselves into market segments, i.e., a less attractive market segment (guests who just want to visit for a few days, perhaps getting the most out of them that they possibly can, in park-commando mode) and a more attractive market segment (guests who are going to stay a while, approach the parks in a more casual mode, taking in more things like "The Oasis" at Animal Kingdom Park and the shops in World Showcase, perhaps, which park-commandos tend to not spend much time on).

It astounds me that they are able to increase the prices the way they do and yet more and more people come. I keep thinking that they are really going to suffer a LOT the next time there is a severe economic downturn.

Nah. They'll simply not raise prices, and let the market catch up with their pricing. They made it through 2008-2009 no problem.
