The admission price beating continues.

Ticket prices will remain unchanged from last year despite a vastly inferior product being offered. Feeling like a chump yet?.

[micromind]

I'm actually surprised the price didn't go up.

[WaltDisney'sAlec]

I understand why they're doing it, but I'm not going to buy anything until I can get an AP (or its equivalent) with fireworks and the new parade included. So personally I don't feel like a chump, I just am annoyed at their pricing models.

I'm actually surprised the price didn't go up.

I would imagine that if they had brought back all entertainment, rides, and restaurant offerings to pre-COVID levels, we definitely would have seen that number go up.

[TacAlert]

Not surprised. I mentioned this before, but people actually bought a $25 gift card for food at a food festival for $75. I'm surprised they didn't raise the prices.

[Eagleman]

I'm surprised they didn't raise the prices as well
Maybe by this Summer they would.......

Disney maybe testing the water......so of speak....just get the resort running again !

[greenalfonzo]

Supply and demand.

Going to Disneyland isn't a right; it's a privilege. They've been closed 391 days and counting. If you don't like that they didn't raise their ticket prices for finally reopening, there are other theme park options available in Southern California.

That's only the beginning. The more that Disney consumers vote Yes with their pocketbooks to higher prices for a lesser product, the more Disney will give them less and charge them more.

Sooo, I guess that's a no.

More like "DLR -- love it or leave it," which seems to be Disney's arrogant (albeit unofficial and unspoken) attitude toward its customers. It filters down from management to the employees, who express it on this forum.

Just because you can choose to go to another park doesn't mean you can't criticize the way Disney prices things. With the way things are right now, guests are paying for the same experience as last march, but only for 2/3rds of what was available. On the cast side of things, I have to wonder where the extra money is going. They aren't paying for nearly as many cast members as before. In attractions alone, they cut 1k from DL. And those of us who are left aren't getting a raise. Part of it might pay debts from the pandemic, but the rest? Just wait until the end of the fiscal quarter, when the company boasts that it made record turnaround profit. And who'll get a cut of that profit? Not you or I; just company management and the shareholders.

Also, the company won't think you're more valuable to them just because you try and convince fans online that they don't get to have an opinion on this.

No other Disney park on the entire planet has had to suffer what Disneyland has had to. Now they are finally reopening and despite the guaranteed overwhelming demand by people to return, they chose not to raise their ticket prices when everyone fully expected them to. And...that's a bad thing?!

By the way, there will be no parades, shows, character meet and greets or fireworks. Why? Because the state of California says so, not Disney!

I see what you’re saying, and my question is, what happens if/when the state is allowed to fully reopen after June 15th? I would be concerned that management is going to first cut way back, and then leave things as they are unless absolutely necessary. We saw this with the grand opening of Star Wars land, and that was a brand new land. It should have opened with all the bells and whistles. The only reason they started to add anything back is due to the negative press/word of mouth.

This is only partially correct. Yes, CA has restrictions, but consider FL. FL removed mask mandates and capacity restrictions. Disney World still requires masks, reservations, and there are no fireworks or parades. While your statement is true, it makes people think that Disneyland would operate normally if CA said they could. That's just wrong, and Florida is proof.

Don't let your political views prevent you from knowing all the facts.

[Co Foo]

I’d say that it’s frequently true that places don’t change their pricing if offerings change. Baseball games don’t get cheaper if the Star player is injured. I’ve been to museums that had a wing closed and they didn’t offer a discount.

I don’t blame people for not going because for those people it’s not with it. Personally, I don’t really care about fireworks, but lack of stage shows is a bummer. I’m on the fence as to if I want to go or not. If some people don’t care about fireworks or parades and it’s all about the rides then that’s their choice.

[Captain Andy]

This is why I have a small temptation to visit once in the summer... because I have a gut feeling the prices will go up when things are back to normal. And possibly entertainment won’t be coming back with that price hike? 😕 We’ll see. I’ve been feeling like the more Disney flaunts it’s “take it or leave it” attitude, the bigger itch I have to save my money and go elsewhere (Tokyo, London; etc)

Spot on. Like many corporations, the Company takes a dim view of employees who exhibit rude 'tudes in online forums and social media -- especially those who repeatedly disparage a major segment of the customers (namely, AP holders).

Actually, a Disneyland without the parades, shows, Fantasmic, and other such elements increases the value for me! LOL In recent decades, the "live show" element has seriously gotten out of whack because of how it overwhelms the park with the stand-still crowd congestion and shutting down entire sections. When the live entertainment returns, I hope that Disney will see the wisdom of having that element blend in with the park's natural ambiance as opposed to competing with it.

[The Real McDuck]

I've been spoiled too often and for too long by amazing firework displays at Disneyland to even care about them anymore, even if they are the ones at Disneyland, itself. Not having them isn't a big deal to me.

I got weary of the constant parades a long time ago, so not having one every x number of hours dividing the park in half is a bonus.

The characters waving from afar will be odd. I also don't expect the breakfast buffets to come back right away.

I would like to go again, but I'm going to wonder where all my money is going for fewer offerings, and fewer staff to funnel it to.
