Are More Changes Coming to Walt Disney World Tickets?

Walt Disney World might soon be making a major change when it comes to theme park tickets. While nothing official has yet been announced, there are some strong rumors which suggest that a tiered system could soon go into place. In theory, the system would ease crowding and bring more people to the parks during the less busy times of the year.

Under the new rumored system, days will be divided into three tiers. Bronze days will cost the least. Silver will be the next level, and the most expensive days will be labeled Gold. Don’t expect the price for Bronze days to go down, most likely the current ticket prices (or slightly higher) will be the starting point. There could also be some added perks on slower days. A “high and low season” ticket system is already used at Disneyland Paris.

According to the rumor, some guests will be asked their opinions about the possibility of a tiered system in exit polls this week. A similar survey on the subject took place earlier this year.

The news of a possible rise in ticket prices for busy days comes right after a new system and price increases have been rolled out for Annual Passholders. New Platinum and Platinum Plus Passes will include PhotoPass pictures for no added charge. The passes for Florida residents have changed as well. Parking charges have also increased.

Walt Disney World Resort is home to the most popular theme parks in the world, and the crowds are expected to increase in the near future. In 2016 a new Frozen ride and meet and greet are set to open at Epcot, a nighttime show will debut at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and the work on Disney Springs will finish. Down the road there will be a Star Wars Land and a Toy Story Land added to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and work continues on Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Record setting crowds have been flocking to Central Florida, and the tourist influx is only expected to grow. The tiered system, if it goes into effect, is supposed to be a way to cut down on the crowds during the busiest times of the year. It will also, in theory, make more people want to travel during the slower seasons.

About PaulaK

I grew up in Western Massachusetts. When I was nine my family went to Disneyland and I was hooked. I grew up, attended New England College in Henniker, NH and eventually moved to Virginia. I worked as a disc jockey, married and became a full time mom when our daughter was born. Fast forward several years. In 2010 we moved to Central Florida and my Disney obsession grew. I now work as a freelance writer and spend my spare time in the parks. Under the name Paula Brown I penned the novels Dream Wanderers and The Coffee Cruiser. I also am a co-author of Dining at Walt Disney World: The Definitive Guide. I'm obsessed with Star Wars, so this is a good time to live in Central Florida. I've been a vegetarian for well over a decade, a choice that my daughter eventually made as well. While my husband still hasn't joined us fully he has given up most meats except for seafood. I was relieved to find that vegetarian dining is not difficult at Walt Disney World.
