Universal Studios Orlando follows Disney's Ticket Increase

Recently, Walt Disney World increased their ticket prices across the board for their theme parks for the forth year in a row. This move surprised many because Disney chose to do this among a staggering economy. Disney tickets rose by about an average of 4%. The children's ticket, which is for ages three to nine, rose 7.9%. This was the highest increase for any of the Disney Tickets. Disney sells plenty of multi-day passes and these received the lowest price increase.

There over 50 attractions alone in the Orlando area competing with Disney for their part of the Florida Tourism Dollar. Disney is certainly the leader in the Orlando Vacation market by far. So, when Disney makes a change the rest of the parks follow.

Universal Studios Orlando is no different. So, when Disney raised their prices on the first Sunday in August, Universal studios was set to soon follow but with a twist. Single day ticket prices have gone from $73 to $79 at the gate, but rather than increase their prices for all of their ticket options, their online tickets and multi-day passes have remained unchanged at least for now.

Universal has stated that their most popular and best selling ticket prices did not receive a price increase. Those ticket prices remain the same.

I guess that the only question to ask at this point. Is Seaworld next?

Cheap Disney Vacations

Disney vacations just became a bit more affordable. You can now get a cheap Disney Vacation because Walt Disney World has changed the structure of their annual passes. For a limited time, you can purchase an annual pass for 15 months rather than just 12 months at the same price as the 12 month pass. If you love the Disney Theme Parks, then, the extra 3 months will really come in handy. It is important to know this because Disney has recently raised all of their ticket prices. This 15 month pass certainly offers you a great value provided that you can visit the parks a few times a year.

Of course, we know that buying Disney tickets is just one of the expenses for a Disney vacation. When it comes to lodging, we offer the best rates on quality Orlando Hotels. For example, you can book the beautiful Radisson Worldgate Resort near Disney for only $49 per night.

So you not only get a great price, you have a very nice room for you and your family on your Disney vacation that is conveniently located. With cheap Disney Vacations, you can certainly have a great time with your family and still experience all of the magic of Disney.
