Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s recent price increase came as no surprise. In fact, these price increases have become an annual tradition. What did come as a surprise to some was switch to seasonal pricing. The result is at certain times of the year a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom costs $124 (however, prices during the value season either stayed the same or went down).
As would be expected, headlines regarding the increase were as calm and reasoned as one would expect on the Internet. Here are five particularly good ones:
See? Calm and reasoned (New York Post):
Disney causes truancy (Time)
Taken for a ride? Going to Disney is still a choice, right? (The Guardian)
Beware. Beware! Beware??? (MoneyTalksNews.com)
And finally, the well respected LA Times reporting the shocking news that Disney fans would prefer to pay less to go the parks (I know – this is actually from the Annual Pass price increase, but it was too good to leave out). (LA Times)
