Water park tickets to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach have also increased by $3 and there is a further $1 on park hoppers and the water park fun and more ticket options.

Annual passes have typically risen by $20 for adults and nearly $30 for children.

Across the board, most child prices have risen more than adult prices, in percentage terms.

For UK visitors, Disney offer special 5, 7, 14 or 21 day inclusive ticket deals and at the moment you can buy a 14 day ticket for the normal price of a 7 day ticket.

It remains to be seen as to whether the other major players in the Orlando area, namely Universal Studios and SeaWorld follow suit.

Recent History Of Disney Ticket Price Rises

It is interesting to see how these prices have risen over recent years and in particular how child ticket prices have increased, with the difference between an adult ticket and a child ticket being squeezed.

Back in 2007, four years ago, a family of four visiting for one day would have had to pay $246. Todays price is $328, a 33.3% price rise.

For four days with the hopper option, the 2007 price would have been $928. Today the price is $1,154, a 24.3% rise.

Looking at child ticket prices, in 2007 a one day ticket was $56 whereas today it is $79, a 41.1% increase. The equivalent adult tickets were $67 and $85 respectively, a 26.9% increase.

As before though, the multi-day tickets offer better value for money though in percentage terms, they have actually increased more than the one day tickets. For example looking at the difference between 2007 and 2011, a ten day adult ticket has risen from $216 to $291, a 34.7% increase and a ten day child ticket from $177 to $272, a 53.7% increase.
