$894 is literally a plane ticket to so many other better places in the world.

Paying $3,400 for staying in fake Bora Bora when you can use that money to go to the real one. Don’t see the logic behind that.

And yet employees have minimum wage and there’s still no Lion King attractions. Thanks Disney

I've been going every year since I was little, and Disney used to be affordable in the 90s. Walt Disney would be sad that all families can't experience the magic because it's crazy expensive now.

and yet they still pay employees minimum wage

So basically Disney is the Apple of theme parks , we get it

Others: Can you put a price on happiness? Disney: "We Can!!!"

My parents used to take me once a year to Disney World until right before the recession. My parents admitted it was a nice luxury, but based on how expensive it is today - they definitely wouldnt have been able to afford similar pricing, which is sad to think so many people lose the opportunity. It is a fun place for kids!

“we use to be able to go every year. now we go every 5 years”.

Because even at this price, it’s STILL so damned crowded!

The saddest part of Disney Parks is that Employees (especially the Princesses) don't even get a living wage

When my parents told me how much it cost to take my nephew to Disney for 3 days, I nearly had a heart attack. It just isn't worth it. And I grew up going to Disney a lot when I was a kid despite living in Canada. It was actually half way affordable even for us.

Damm imagine how Walt Disney would react if he saw how expensive the tickets are

Mr Krabs voice- *”MONEY”*

Even after that they don't pay their employees decent wages.

Unpopular opinion: Disney is overrated to people who just wants to go on rides. I don’t really go for shows

If prices were cheaper, the crowds would be insane... sadly

Because enough people still willing to pay for it

After the virus, the majority of families won’t be thinking about going to Disney.

Thank God that my Parents were able to take me and my siblings to Disney World when we were kids. These prices are insane!

Rather go on a nice vacation. Europe, Tokyo, or Seoul.

And their employees are living out of their cars.

Disney is like Downloading an app that’s already like $10 and the you see “offers in app purchases”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started charging for the meet and greets in the future

For around $1000 I was able to spend one month in the Philippines. That includes hotel and food and all the attractions we saw. And these were big attractions like seeing whale sharks and stuff. Id rather spend 1k for a month in a tropical country than a couple days at Disney

Disney will charge whatever people are willing to pay. That's how the world works

$8.00 for kids, $30 for adults. That's literally what the cost would be in 2021 if you look at the price in 1970 adjusted for inflation.

In India with ₹75000 thats almost the same as USD 900, you may spend a month at a decent hotel in the Himalayas. It's beautiful.

He is saying like disney is loosing money every year.They have the highest box movies ever created.Disney is just being greedy

Let me save everyone some time: Supply and demand.

I’ve never even been there, my parents would ask me when I was little and I would always say that it was stupid and I never wanted to go there, but the real reason was because I didn’t want my parents to spend that much money. Still don’t want to go.

3:34 hibbty hopitty your money is now my property

I’m going to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea in March and I was shocked at how much cheaper the tickets were compared to Disneyland/Disneyworld.

This is irrelevant but I just popped my back and it feels really good

Last year I compared vacation prices of Disney and an international location. The international destination was 40% cheaper.

I went to Disneyland once when I was 10 and didn’t see what the big deal was. Went back when I was 17 and still didn’t see what the hype was about. I’m 30 now and I don’t think I’d ever go back. Disney was just not for me. 🤷‍♀️

As George Lopez has said : If I want to see a mouse..... I’ll look behind my fridge

The sad thing is, they pay their workers like shit. Some of them can't even pay rent, and have to live inside a car.

Disney World! Where you get to pay thousands of dollars to wait 3 hours in the hot, muggy florida sun just to ride the teacups!

Yep. We're a family of 6 when my kids were growing up in the late 90s, early 00s and we had passes for all 6 of us when we lived in SoCal. For a SINGLE Platinum pass,we had passes for all of us including two unlimited passes for the wife and I and we'd renew one kid's pass on a blackout date which meant only paying the difference for 3 kids as well as being able to go whenever we wanted which was about once a month. We got into pin trading and generally had a GREAT time. I've lived in Central FL for 12 years now and I've yet to go to DisneyWorld. Too expensive. It's a shame because Walt Disney was alive when I was a kid. I remember how important it was to him for FAMILIES to be able to partake. Oh well. At least we have the memories, I guess...

Thankfully all that extra money is going to the employees, I mean the CEO and the board.

But you're all willing to pay 900 for a 2 day pass at coachella 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I dont see any reason to visit the park with this price. There is waaaay more fun stuff to do with that money.

Is it just me or the wallet at 4:22 is awesome

I've lived in Orlando all my life and even I cant afford to go anymore! The ridiculous crowds and all these massive price hikes have killed off whatever 'magic' Disney used to have.. As a child of the 80's I can tell you nothing today even compares to the original Epcot Center! Today's Disney is simply a greedy shadow of its former self..

In short: Disney got more greedy just like how they killed Club Penguin.

His face right at the end second says it all: Are you middle class or lower??? Tough luck.

If you go during off seasons and stay in the all star resorts, then the price is just that of a reasonable vacation. Additionally, now if you stay in one of their resorts you get unlimited fast passes, even though it only says 3. Vacation somewhere cheaper for summer and winter...

Why is Apple charging $1000+ for a new iPhone? Same thing, because people pay for them. If you don't want to pay to go to Disney, don't go. No one is forcing you

When will they raise the wages they pay employees?

Disneyland is probably the most overrated park.

Hello There, an interesting synopsis/analysis on the financial and business marketing strategies that have been implemented throughout. Cheers Peter

Doesn’t even look fun. Way too many people, and very expensive.

It's easy blame inflation ,however there's another element you overlook Greed.

“F” Disney. I’ll go to the beach in Fl. Its free and no lines

I went about 10 years ago to Disney World and a bottle of water cost $3. I can buy a 24 pack of spring water at Aldi for under $3. And Disney probably sells filtered tap water, and I can't imagine what it costs now. I started drinking their fountain tap water and ended up getting so sick I threw up on an Epcot spaceship ride.

I can barely afford McDonald's

Disney park is just an EA version of a theme park

I went to Disney World as a kid and we didn't even stay for a whole day. It was too hot and us kids were more into waterparks than rollercoasters, so we ended up giving the tickets to someone else. I hope they enjoyed it more than we did.

The tilt shift video makes the story even better - reporting wise that is. Really cool. The pricing story, basic economics, keep charging until the consumer says no thanks. The real profit comes from sales inside the park, don't buy the made in china souvenirs, the clothing or most important the food and drink - that will get their attention.

Disneyland has become so overcrowed.. whats the point of even going😑

625 an hour for a private tour and they pay that man no more than 25 bucks an hour haha

I’m happy to say that I have had the opportunity to go to Disney land when I was like 10 and it was a blast. Kinda makes me happy that we went there then rather than now as it’s so expensive now and I’m kinda too old to enjoy things like that again. Fun as hell though

I really only want to go for Halloween or Christmas but now with the pandemic and how it's become horrendously expensive I'd rather go to the wizarding world of Harry Potter now.

Dear American Families, pack your bags and come over to Europe. We have amazing themeparks at way better value than Disney or Universal. If you have little kids or toddlers the Efteling is the most magical place you can imagine (with rides that could rival Disney’s). If you have kids or teenagers you should visit Phantasialand (they have themed thrillrides Disney could only dream of and Universal could only copy). Lastly we have Europa Park, one of the biggest themeparks in Europe with triple the amount of attractions (all within beautiful themed areas resembling all the nations in Europe) and operations that Disney could only dream of. We also have a Disneyland in Paris. It’s expensive, poorly maintained and the staff makes the experience anything but magical. So treat your kids to a trip further away and explore what’s out there. In Europe we value middle class families and you’re all treated equal. Hope to see you guys on the other side of the Atlantic!

If people quit being sheeps and willing to pay these ridiculous prices for everything, they'll quit getting screwed over by these big companies.

Disney is quite generous to its long employees my mom used to work at a Disney store that is not closed and we get 5 annual passes every year in the mail for free they just show up don’t even need to request them we also get a 60% discounts on Disney resorts

so glad we went in 2013 when my parents could afford it! Think if we had left it any later would’ve never been able to go. Still preferred universal tho.

If it’s just 2 bring at least 5k. Funny how that money still isn’t enough to pay their employees properly whom are now forced to live in cars.

Lines were insane. 2 hour wait for a 2 min ride. 2 and a half hours to take a pic with Mickey.

I still wanna visit Disneyland in California, though but only when it's September where the crowds aren't as thick as in the summer I believe.

Back before the shut down me and my family went to the Old Spamish Sugar Mill down near Ponce DE Leon in florida. It was right next to a gorgeous freshwater spring with giant turtles to swim with. I had more fun there than standing in line for 2 hours in any Disney line. And it was only $15 to park.

Why are they charging so much? Simple, because they can Capitalist society, supply and demand, that's all there is to it

I sleep on days off, It’s free and relaxing. 😎

Disney used to reward kids in CA with a free ticket if you earn it in school (I.e., good grades, etc). Not sure if that program still exists. They invest in the communities.

Well the first time we went with my parents and two sisters was 1973. I was 13. Driving down was part of the vacation spending a week at the Ft. Lauderdale Inn and a week at a Walt Disney resort hotel when it was $90 a night. We went several years in a row from flying to sleepers on Amtrak. I'm 59 now. I'm a stockholder as well.

I’m 19 and I still haven’t gone to any of their parks lmao

4.5 B and "they really have to stretch to keep up" YEAH RIGHT!!

Wait You’re telling me it was just above 40 dollars in 2000???

great video!!!!!!!! I subscribed!!!!!!

It’s a real shame to see Walt’s vision taking this sort of turn. He was a businessman, sure, but he also designed parks like Epcot (originally intended as an actual city design) to be a place that encapsulated mans ability to create and to inspire ingenuity for the future. I t was meant to represent man at his best and was meant for everyone. I really do love Disney and their magic, but in recent years it’s been hard to associate the Disney of now with the Disney if my childhood. The corporate machine sucks up other companies left and right and beats other parks into submission by making their own bigger and better and using the material of these other companies to their advantage. I went to Disney several years ago, before talks about Pandora were even a thing and the Diagon Alley area in US was still rumor. A middle class family could stay for a week in a cheaper hotel resort like pirates bay (idk what it was actually called) and maybe have a fancy dinner or two at one of the really nice hotels (we went to the Polynesian for dinner one night). That same trip now would be almost triple the price my family paid just a few years ago. I can’t think of a deeper betrayal to Walt’s vision than the way Disney treats its customers now. Sure, there’s always a place for VIP treatment for those who are willing to pay for it, but I think Disney is making a bad move here by moving away from the people that made them into what they are in the first place. If these prices had been around when my family went, we wouldn’t have gone, plain and simple. Disney is a magic place where dreams come true, but if you can’t pay for those dreams then you never get to experience that.

As an American in France...the "Yellow Vests" would protest to bring the price of a day a Disney down. As a result a day at Disney is 50 to 70 dollars! When the middle class stands up for itself, things happen. We go to Disneyland here in France each year. Sometimes twice a year. When I go back home to California each summer....I think we only go once in only a special time....at $150 per person for a day at Disneyland.... It is no longer just a fun day at an amusement park.... A family of four can maybe go on a week vacation to Mexico for the same price as a weekend at Disneyland.

This is an interesting video to watch in July of 2020 during the pandemic when Disney has been closed for months and actually struggling.

People:how much does a ticket to Disneyland cost? Disney:YES

I rarely say this but I wish that video was longer! Fascinating and it confirms what I've suspected for years about Disney. Let's abandon the 'little people' that kept up going all these years in favour of the rich. It's very sad and as an old Disney employee once told me, not what Walt would have wanted.

Make a video on “Why Victoria’s Secret is so expensive ? “

For April fool's my fiancee convinced me they were building a new Disneyland at the Toronto Islands. I freaked out! When I found out he was joking I started balling. These prices make me cry too😭😱

Also bungalows didn’t exist when WDW opened. The Polynesian Resort did but those particular accommodations came along years later.

I haven't been to disney world in about 8 years. And surprised I'm still alive. Y'all complaining keep forgetting you don't have to go

you wanna sprite cranberry?

I live two hours West of Disney on the coast. Literally backyard is complete open ocean. We only pay $35 each a month to go to any of the 4 parks. That grants us free parking every time we go so that’s $20 instantly saved and the discounts on food and merchandise. Disney hasn’t tried to squeeze out its Annual Pass Holders. Now I do feel sorry for families and people outside of my state. Rentals are going up and up. People are taking advantage of that close proximity to the theme parks. I live on the freaking water and my mortgage is less then half of what rentals go for. We’ve stayed at Disney resorts and that’s where my suggestion is strongly advised for traveling families. The benefits to being at a Resort on property far outweigh its cost. Look into the Disney meal plans and check out Disney Food Blog (DFB). I hope this info helps someone.

Simple economics. If supply stays the same but demand increases, the price also increases.

Guess I have to sell my kidneys.

At this moment it's: Subtotal $1,298.24USD

Yep, we used to go every year when I was a kid. I loved Disney. As an adult, now I'll probably go to Universal or not at all.

It makes sense although there is a price to expansion. Disneyland has grown to a greater scale than it was before making the experience truly unforgettable. If we wish to see the true potential of a grand world theme park it takes fortune to continue progress. I have never been to Disney World, but my mother has who always mentioned it since her mother brought her several times. The reason we never went was my parents simply couldn't afford it. Hoping to go with a friend to get the experience I never had, but with the expenditures I only hope the food and experience is great as it is supposed to be otherwise it is a waste all in itself.

In the '80s my family had "Annual World Passports" for Disney World. They were good for one year, for all the parks, with no restrictions. They cost about $120 each. Inflation is a hell of a thing!

Simple they know people would go no matter the price

Walt's dream: making this place affordable for everyone Disney now: i like money

Makes me happy bc this family in my town goes every year and I’ve only been there once
