Save/ShareWalt Disney World and Universal Orlando both raised their single-day multi-park passes to a whopping $120 a day.
Disney World made the move first earlier this month, Universal followed suit, and the result is that a one-day adult pass (meaning 10 and up) at either of central Florida's largest theme park resorts is $85 to visit one park, or $120 for a pass allowing entrance to multiple parks.
Will people pay up? Well, some people certainly will. But more than anything, the goal of raising single-day passes to such exorbitant levels seems to be to make the discounts granted with multi-day passes look more enticing. The move especially makes sense for Disney, where the per-day admission price plummets the longer travelers hang around to hit the parks. As Theme Park Insider noted:
Once you've bought three days of theme park tickets at Disney, it costs just $9 to add a fourth day. Then it's just $8 to add each additional day beyond that, up to 10 days total.
The discounts obviously save money on admission, but travelers need to understand that the longer they're visiting Disney parks, the more they're likely to spend (and spend and spend) on Disney restaurants, lodging, character breakfasts, souvenirs, and the like.
In case you're wondering, SeaWorld Orlando admission is currently $72 for adults purchasing in advance online, and that includes entrance for a second day within a week of the first visit. (Granted, many people feel that one day at SeaWorld is enough.) Tickets for Legoland Florida, which opens in mid-October, are expected to be $65 for adults -- and unlike the other three parks, which charge adult rates for ages 10 and up, the "adult" cutoff at Legoland is 13. Visitors 12 and under pay $55.

disneyland one park ticket is now 80 dollars, and for some strange reason they consider anyone 10 and up as an adult. We used to go to disneyland at least twice a year when the price of a ticket for SoCal resident was about 45.
it was reduced down to once a year when the ticket price gone up to 65.
now that it is 80 dollars, we haven't been back since, it's been 3 years since the last time we were there.
i was faced with this decision for this weekend, as we have children visiting from out of state both 11 years old. 4 people would cost 320 dollars not including the expensive food and drinks inside.
we will be going to a museum instead.

The interventions may possibly consist of surgical procedures, medicines, therapies, lifestyle alterations and various types of counselling, amid other factors. They might be preventive (inoculations) or they may well be reactive (prostheses). They may perhaps be handled by a broad wide variety of practitioners, this kind of as paramedics, doctors, nurses, therapists and the like.
