Walt Disney World is raising ticket prices once again, despite a still-weak economy that has the resort continuing to use discounts to lure travelers. Disney announced Tuesday that it will raise the price of a one-day, one-park adult ticket to $82-the first time any of Orlando’s theme- park resorts has charged more than $80 for a base ticket. It amounts to a 3.8% increase from the current $79 charge. The resort will also hike prices for multiday-ticket packages, which it sells in far greater volume than single-day tickets. It will tack another $2-from $52 to $54-to the price of adding a “park hopper” feature to base tickets allowing visits to multiple Disney theme parks in one day. And it will increase annual pass prices, too. The prices go into effect Thursday.
