Rides, shows, music, parades, fireworks and character encounters are all included in the price of admission. Theme parks dominate the lower rung of our price comparison chart when costs are calculated by the hour. Among the major sports leagues, Baseball is the closest competitor to theme parks when it comes to hourly price comparisons. Rams and Chargers prices are expected to change this year when both teams move into the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
Theme parks clearly benefit from a longer running time than other entertainment options. A new report shows the cheapest and most expensive amusement parks in the world based on the number The company came up with the list by analyzing the top 25 theme parks worldwide, the top 20 theme parks in North America and the top 20 European theme parks. They looked at the cost of a day ticket and the number of rides in order to work out the cost per ride for each theme park. Then, using data from Queue Times —which tracks the waiting times and crowd data for the biggest theme parks in the word—they layered in wait times to calculate the number of rides that you could complete in a day.
Note that the number of rides you could complete in a day does not include walk times from ride to ride and any breaks you may take throughout the day. Granted, it will take some effort to get there, given that the park is halfway around the world in Guangzhou.

Efteling is every bit as amazing as a Disney theme park, and Yas Island in Abu Dhabi offers two great theme parks in an affordable warm weather alternative to a Florida trip. And you don't have to spend all your time in theme parks on a vacation.
National parks, museums, roadtrips, and other destinations all offer potentially affordable choices, as well. Ultimately, it's your money and your call. Personally, I think that Disney theme parks offer a great deal I guess that's true of any other destination, too. Your mileage may vary, of course. But there's an affordable, high-value option waiting for you somewhere!
So let's put this to a vote. I realize that both the options I present you in this vote might be true for you - that Disney might be too expensive for what it delivers and that it's still a good value versus other destinations.
But pick the statement you believe more closely reflects your feeling right now anyway. How to save money with theme park ticket deals and discounts. A ticket to the park s is definitely not too expensive A premium price for a premium experience is what you should get That used to be why people took Disney vacations.
And that is what you used to get with Disney. Unfortunately, Disney long ago developed a very bad habit of releasing a bevy of discounts and ticket pricing loopholes the second attendance begins to wain even slightly. So what happens? In the short term the parks overflow with guests who are not paying near full price anymore and pushes rides and people to capacity.
This makes the overall experience which should feel premium because of the price feel like a bait and switch. I recently attended a basketball game for the Portland Trailblazers. I went with a friend and we got nose bleed tickets.
The game lasted 2 hours and we lost. On another occasion, I took my family of four to see Disney on Ice. We arrive early, utilize planning and fast passes, take an afternoon break, and close out the parks.
Wondering if TPI will pose the same. After the next Blogflume about the latest Harry Potter superstore. As long as people keep shelling out the dough the prices will keep going up.
There are millions of people out there with a Disney addiction and are not willing to live without it, the product is way less elastic than any normal person can comprehend. The place is more successful then ever. As long as Disney can keep hooking these people in when they're young, keep making movies they want to see and they want their kids to see, people will still want to go and prices will keep going up.
Meanwhile the ticket prices at the lower quality parks are still extremely cheap which just goes to show you how powerful the Disney and Harry Potter brands are. If you're one of those people like me when I was younger that uses your season pass frequently and doesn't ever buy anything, they may as well be paying you to go there. The cost per hour logic in the article is flawed.
Where you will be entertained for a full 2 hours of a play, movie, or ball game, you will not be entertained for a full 15 hours of a Disney park visit.
Some would argue that the environment and ambiance that Disney parks have also go towards that ticket value. Sure the attractions are great but it's the overall feeling and energy of the lands that sells it for me. For me, this depends on the park. The castle parks, IMO, are a good value given all that they have to offer. The real value of Disney comes from multi-day tickets, where there's a higher upfront cost but a much lower cost per day, which also increases the worthiness of the extra gates.
For me to go to Disney, and have a great day, even have a couple of nice meals, the price is absolutely fine. The problem is, I don't go to Disney by myself, as is the case with most people. Sure, multi-day passes can save on the day-to-day rates, but in the end it's still very expensive to take your family there. Meals, souvenirs, snacks, arcades, etc; and you are quickly adding up to a small fortune.
I was down in Orlando on business a little over a year ago, and met up with a buddy who also happened to be down there. We ended up heading over to Universal for a couple of days. In terms of price, for me alone, it was a fantastic value - and that's including more than a few over-priced beers in Diagon Alley. However, if I had been there with my family, the price would have been WAY higher - and with all the extra frustrations that go along with trying to keep everybody happy.
Its both. A single day ticket is overpriced, but season passes and other deals are underpriced. Let more people come for a few days, instead of trying to get the same people to come a lot. The current model makes it almost impossible for many people to afford a single day at Disney. That should change. The enjoyment factor comes into play for me and my family. As Florida residents we have annual passes. We can come and go and we choose.
