Disney’s New Ticket Pricing: Good or Bad?
 

I've just heard this news today. This is so sad for me, and my family :(

Yes. it was announced a couple of weeks ago. What is so sad? Avoid the busiest days and it won't have all that much effect. They are simply going to demand based pricing -- same as airlines, hotels, heck - even professional sports.

Yeah, that is what mostly I will do. Thanks :)

Or you could go somewhere other than Disney.

That is what I am exactly planning to do. Any suggestions? We are likely to visit San francisco, California and Los Angeles next week.

Exploratorium,Museum of Natural History, Minterey Bay Aquarium, Huntington Gardens, one or more of the Missions, Griffith Park, so much to do... How much time do you have?

We are planning to have a 2-week vacation. I hope this time will be enough for us to explore those places

I don't see how a twenty percent increase would really hurt you...and it doesn't apply to multiple day tickets, so I don't think it's going to impact that many tourists.

But anyway, a week in LA and Week and SF would be perfect. Even if that's too long for the cities- California is massive and Disney, while fun, is not even on my top ten;)

We are still thinking if we should go to Disney. It depends on my kids, maybe? They are my boss. hahaha!

We have had demand pricing on the ski slopes in Colorado for a few years. Probably a trend with many similar situations.

Just locals to their parks, who've never had and will never have a reason to stay for more than one day or evening.

Disneyland has always been expensive, even as kids it was the main obstacle to going for many of us.

Since you're going to LA and SF next week for two weeks, what plans have you already made? Disneyland is good, and it's up to you if you want to devote a day or two to it, but what about the rest of your time?

Here are a myriad of things for you to do...

My kids loves Disney though. We've been to DisneyWorld in Florida and went on Disney cruise last year. :)

We will be driving from Vancouver and stay in San Francisco for 3 days.
In LA we have a bit of challenging itinerary as we are planning to do Disneyland, Universal Studios, Legoland and Six flags. All the fun stuff for kids. Hope we can spare a day to visit Lake Tahoe as well, i heard it is a beauty. :)

Thanks for this maitaitom! ;)

By the way, there is a great hike up from the Fern Dell grotto to Griffith Observatory if you like hiking. Not overly strenuous (we do it with our corgis, and they have pretty short legs). It's about a 3 1/2 mile loop, plus you can take a breather at the top and go to the observatory, which is free (although you do have to pay to see the movie...which is worthwhile).

get a multi day pass instead. :)

KNOTTS BERRY FARM is a blast if you are looking for a place with rides, etc. I'd do that instead of Disneyland - shorter lines too

In L.A. the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Here's a sample of what there is to see: http://www.mjt.org/exhibits/hagop/hagop2.html
