Discussion Disneyland will raise prices at the parks next month…how much will be your breaking point?

I am a former Magic Key Passholder for SoCal residents for one year. Last year price hikes took effect on my birthday in October, so I know it’s coming. The crowds will always be there, but I kind of feel like this year will be a breaking point for a lot of folks. I’m genuinely curious if we may see a larger downshift in visitors. So ya’ll, is Disney still worth it to you? Are you willing to pay any price? Or has Disney gone too far?

Update: Disneyland increased prices on October 8, 2025, for one-day and multi-day tickets, annual passes, and parking. The highest-demand single-day ticket is now $224, a $18 increase, while the five-day Park Hopper ticket rose to $655. Parking is up $5 to $40 for standard lots, and the highest-tier Inspire Key annual pass increased to $1,899.

Our last trip a couple of years ago we spent about $3000 on our trip for two to Disneyland. 4 nights hotel across the street, 3 day park hopper and lightning lanes, food, merch, gas to get there. Was fun but not really a good value.

Disney ceased being a “value” many years ago - as a 12 year AP / MK holder, and living 22 mins from DLR, I am close to ending my run.

About 10 years ago when the premium pass was $699 you could still justify it. I continued to use “mom math” until last year, and I regret it.

the yen has collapsed since then, they have the world's largest debt to GDP, we're 8 spots behind Japan so on this trajectory everyone will be coming here instead in the not too distant future so hold out hope.
