ANAHEIM Disneyland Resort raised its ticket prices on Sunday, with a one-day, one-park ticket for visitors 10 and older going to $96.
The $4 boost at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure is about the same as previous hikes, which usually happen about once a year. Single-day ticket prices have more than doubled since 2003.
The cost for annual passes went up, too.

The increase comes as the Disneyland Resort is experiencing strong growth. Since Cars Land opened as part of the Disney California Adventure makeover in June 2012, Disney has often reported record attendance during its quarterly reports.
Also, Disney suspended new sales of its popular Southern California annual passport because of the crowds. Those who already have them can renew them. And those who let Southern California passes expire in the last 90 days can renew them as well.
The parks have been particularly crowded on Sundays the only weekend day usually available for those with the Southern California passes, which now cost $379 on renewal. A cheaper pass the Southern California Select at $289 is blocked out on weekends and is available for new purchases.
Other annual passes the Deluxe, with some Saturday and peak-holiday-period blackouts, selling for $519, and the no-blackout Premium, selling for $699 may be suspended in the future.

I’ll pay $200 to avoid it
Tweetsie Railroad in Blow Rock NC still has a shoot’em up train show
I loved the flying saucers. Thanks for posting the picture.
I agree that the "Princesses" was a great marketing idea. The little girls love it. The concept has been going strong for at least 10 years. Disney can sell a great amount of merchandise, by recycling their old movies and characters. (The characters are of course new to the little girls).
I’ve “heard” Disney World is better at lines, and attractions, I can’t imagine making the trip to find out.
But enjoy!
Why does it look like that photo was taken at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station?
Both Kennywood and Idlewild are more than $30/day at the gate.
We love Disney. But you’ve got to go with a PLAN! Read the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disneyworld (or Disneyland) before you go. Makes all the difference in world; can’t wait to go back in September!
Been to Disney in Florida a bunch. Went to Six Flags in Atlanta a month ago. Night and day difference. Disney was expensive but completely worth the price. Service is impeccable. Six Flags service sucked. Food sucked. Just a miserable experience. I’d rather drive 8 hours and pay more than drive 30 minutes.
Dear wife is the imbiber.
I liked drink in college but as I aged I learned split tails were my preferred intoxicant by far .....anything else pales.....like that Elizabeth Cook song.....when you say yes to beer you say no to booty
Hence 5 children from 6-25
But I like when the girl drinks....lol
I lived in Miami a long time ago...my wife loves it there...but it ain’t cheep

Two years behind me in school in my ex’s class the student body president became Mickey Mouse, literally.
We once went to a Christmas party at his house. I commented that one of the women looked like snow white. He said “She IS Snow White.”
He moved up in management and recently retired.
At one point he could get 3 people a day in free. We used that a dozen times or so in the 60s and early 70s. He once gave us the back-lot tour.
When I divorced, I lost that bennie, however, I was in Sacramento and didn’t need it very much.
