“If you’re willing to travel on weekdays during the less popular months of the year or participate in Disney deals throughout the year, you’ll be rewarded with low ticket prices and deals with local hotels,” says the founder of MickeyVisit.com. Gavin Doyle said. “If you’re serious about visiting during the most popular months, you’ll end up paying higher prices.”

The site noted that the increase in Disneyland ticket prices comes before the park opens the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride, as well as the upcoming 70th Anniversary in 2025.

Doyle pointed out that this increase comes as the salaries of Disney members increase, “Disney invests in the expansion of attractions with new Disneyland rides, and the business of theme parks is completely trusted by The Walt Disney Company and generates high profits for the entire company.”
