Disney price increase

[IPGMAC Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close IPGMAC]

Effective Jan. 15, 2009 the price for Animal Kingdom will go from $104 to 112.

I haven't seen confirmation from Disney, but it is also reported that on that same date, they are also increasing the minimum add on requirement for Bay Lake Tower from 25 pts to 100 pts.

Has anyone gotten anything official about the add on increase?

Yes. I got a flyer in the mail yesterday. It's true.

I guess they have a long line for cancellations..... With the economy you would think they would try to hold the prices and not increase. A filled room means $$$ in the park...

Do you think this is a just a sales pitch to create urgency and additional demand before the end of the year?

Disney seems to be offering discounts to their hotel customers!

Guests who buy a four-night/four-day non-discounted Walt Disney Travel Co. Magic Your Way hotel and ticket package for stays most nights from Jan. 4 to April 4, 2009, and April 19 to
June 27, 2009, will receive three extra nights of hotel accommodations and three more days added to their theme park tickets for free.

As a bonus, guests traveling on this package from Jan. 4 to March 29, 2009, will also receive a free $200 Disney Gift Card to splurge on merchandise, dining or other Disney fun.

“Walt Disney World Resort has always presented a great entertainment value for our guests,” said Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton. “This special travel offer makes it even easier for guests to enjoy a magical, memory-making Disney vacation in 2009.”

With this special offer, a family of four can get a 7-night stay at a Disney Value Resort and a
7-day Magic Your Way base ticket for each family member for as little as $1271. The package can be booked now through Dec. 20, 2008.
