And here's your first ticket price increase . . .

[DavidNYC]

Knew this was coming. Anyone want to bet against another one coming before SWGE opens? And I assume AP price increases are right around the corner. Might be time for some Undercover Tourist tickets today . . ..

Same.

Same. I'm likely going to get the UT tickets today and upgrade in November (although my brain is still trying to figure out if buying now even saves me anything additional since I think when UT raises their prices the value of the credit will similarly rise since I think they only bridge to the full price as of the day the ticket was printed - not the current price - so if UT prices go up, the bridged price goes up as well). But I do want to get an AP as well which I'll have to direct from Disney and will likely do that this week as I have to imagine those increases are imminent.

This only affects December 2019 onward?

I have a feeling it starts now.
I think they gave us warning in October because there was a huge change in ticket structure, but this is "just" a price increase.

No - I just checked the website and the cost of my trip in November went up compared to a couple days ago when I last checked. Not sure if increases are higher post Dec. 2019 but there are definitely increases across the board now. As much as 23% apparently. Anyone here get a 23% salary increase this year . . . ? Kind of glad we got a number of good years there with my kids from 5-10. Cause I think we're getting to the point with the price increases and more and more being upcharged that we'll be cutting back a lot. Unfortunate really, and I know Disney is a business - but there's a fine line between reasonable price increases and greed.

Vague but the WDWNT article mentions a December start date...

No, that's just them citing an example for December. Which is confusing, I'll admit.

UGH. I bought my tickets through UT last fall, but my parents & my brother's family recently decided to join us for 2 days of our trip. I had just checked on pricing for them and saw that Disney's prices for those 2-day tickets were actually less than UT (discounts don't start until the 3-day pass), so I didn't think they needed to jump on anything quite yet. Today the 2-day tickets through Disney cost about $150 more (total) than they did last week! UT is actually cheaper by $100 now, so I guess they better go that route... and probably make their purchase soon. Doggone it... I did not see that coming.

The cost of the tickets I purchased yesterday went up by 30. Yesterday Memorial Day weekend was at the top of the price range and so after tax with a flexible ticket I paid 139, today that would have been line 147 for just that day and the flex ticket i got would be 169... that’s a major jump for a day at Disney. They are beginning to price me out of going...

I was going to wait to purchase from UT but just placed my order now while they still have lower priced tickets in stock. Paid $1575 through UT vs purchasing from Disney at $1786 today.

And just wait until they start charging for fastpasses then it will be even more costly.

Oh well. Have to work a little more overtime. Because no price increase ever will keep us from going the wdw/dlr. worth every penny.

Yes, I checked the ones I already bought from UT and they have not gone up yet.

Tickets I’ve been eyeing for late August went up $4.50 (5 day park hopper).

I'm trying to buy an annual pass but (surprise, surprise!) Disney's IT is being glitchy. It tells me to select a person, which I do, and then it tells me I have to enter in birth date, address, etc. which they already have. Anyways, in the end it won't accept my Canadian postal code even though I have my country as Canada... I have tried Safari and Chrome incognito. So annoying! Will have to try to call when I get home from work. You can purchase APs over the phone, right?

Me too. Looks like the kids will be sharing a mickey bar...
