yeah I read somewhere that Disney is going to spend $2.5 BILLION in the next 3 years on new rides and updates at Disney World. That's a ton of money for a friggin amusement park in a short time.

![]() Disney ain't spending $2.5 BILLION to lose money. But, parts of the park have aged and are out of date while ticket prices kept going up. They were pocketing the money instead of putting more into better and updated rides. They are just catching up because everyone is noticing the aged parts now. Wellll thats kind of the consensus down here anyway. Also the Harry Potter success pushed them too.

I'll be curious to see if they raise the cost of the yearly passes.
From like 2009-2013, the Deluxe Yearly Pass was $225 per year with parking at Disneyland. Now, it's $619 per year with no parking (parking is about $17 dollars). |

One of the rumors of why they raised the prices is because they are trying to cut down on overcrowding. But it’s not working much. It seems there is no magic price point where people will stop going to Disney

Pretty much any day of the week up until 2013 or so, there would be, at most, a 10 minute wait for any ride. Now, wait times are at least 30 minutes, if not hours. We were in California Adventure a few years back and wanted to go on the Car ride but at 8pm at night, the wait time was 4 hours or pretty much the time the park closed for the day. What's worse (and I'm sure I mentioned it before), the absolute sheer number of dumb ****ing parents taking their toddlers to Disneyland. I'm talking kids under 2 years old, that can't walk and can only qualify for a few rides, while slogging them around in HUGE strollers and in many cases, double wides for twins. Couple that with 85-90 heat in the summer and I'm out. Can't do it anymore. |

As I mentioned earlier, the Deluxe Pass at $229 a year included parking but since around 2014 or so, the Deluxe Pass jumped to $600+ and does not include parking. |

Even though it’s only a 30 minute drive outside of rush hour traffic, they stay at the Marriott Residence Inn (which is new and awesome, BTW) that’s a block from the entrance. I went on Mother’s Day weekend last year and it was a zoo. |
