Disney is all about gouging the consumer for the maximum amount of money it can extract, and it’s not even hiding it anymore.
Disney’s pricing strategy now charges over $100 per day for base tickets, plus extra for premium experiences like Genie+ and Lightning Lane, potentially costing visitors up to $450 per day at Magic Kingdom.
New E-ticket attractions require upcharges to ride, while base tickets only grant access to older rides, similar to Cobalt Coast’s tiered pricing model.
Disney’s Epcot Festival Center and hotels now have a sterile, corporate feel compared to the whimsical, branded style of the Eisner era.
Base tickets offer limited ride opportunities, making the value proposition of paying over $100 per day questionable without additional premium experiences.
Disney’s focus on raising premium prices leaves base ticket holders with fewer options, potentially making it difficult for visitors to enjoy the park without paying significantly more.
