DISNEYLAND IS INCREASING PRICES AGAIN

Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California / has recently increased its prices for
various aspects of the visitor experience, / including tickets, annual passes, parking fees, and
park add-ons. // The price hikes went into effect on October 11, which coincided with the
one-year anniversary of the previous price increase. // Notably, there's no price increase for
single-day, low-attendance days, which remain at $104. // However, / prices have risen for
other ticket categories, / especially on high-demand days, / the most crowded days and tickets
priced at $194.//

Historically, / Disneyland admission prices have seen significant inflation / over the
years. // Disneyland, which opened in 1955, / initially charged $1 for adults / and 50 cents for
children. // In comparison, / that same ticket would be equivalent / to $31 today according to
the US Inflation Calculator. // However, the park's offerings / have significantly EVOLVED
in terms of ride technology / and experiences. //

The price increases are attributed to Disney's strategy / to manage park crowds, /
encourage visitors to choose lower-attendance days, / and maximize revenue. // Disney is
constantly adding new attractions / and experiences to enhance the value of a theme park
visit. // While some prices have surged, / Disney aims to provide a more balanced and
optimized park experience / for full-price ticket holders. // This price adjustment aligns / with
their goal of evening out peak and off-peak attendance. //
