I was literally just considering upgrading to Gold but uh.. nah I'm good.
Yeah, it's not worth it anymore. $700 seems to be where I draw the line in my mind. My pass expires in November.. I'll renew, but will definitely downgrade to Silver. At $700, Gold is about $170 more expensive than Silver and for what? So I can go during the busiest, rainiest months of the year?

2 less parks, but there's pretty much more packed into those two parks than there is across all four WDW parks. Disneyland is a monster of a park (and now with SW:GE open and MMRR on the way, it just keeps getting better).wait, so the highest one is $1219, am I seeing that right?
Wow, and to think that California is $180 more with 2 less parks.
That has been in my signature on tragic for 5 years now.....I just don't see the value in it.
The price is so high now at peak times with "dynamic " pricing and passes that avoid blackouts you are probably going to be paying more money to deal with less crowds on supposedly "crowded seasons" these days. Disney tickets are so expensive that people are really going to the extreme to save money by cutting back as much as they can.Welp, that pass was fun while it lasted. More money to deal with more crowds? No thanks.
Never been to WDW, so was not aware that Epcot, AK, and DHS didn't give much. I mean I have a small idea from being on here and the like, but I don't consider DCA all that much either. Radiator springs and ToT being the exception. The pier and everything else leaves alot to be desired. I am done in DCA within about 3 hours. But sounds like DHS and AK at minimum are similar?2 less parks, but there's pretty much more packed into those two parks than there is across all four WDW parks.

That's still not to say the prices aren't ridiculous, though.
DHS is definitely similar. DAK is as well, but if you truly want the full DAK experience and you do some of the animal trails and even just one of the shows (FotLK and Nemo are both great, imo) than you could fill out a day pretty easily. DHS has a lot of shows too, but they pretty much all suck and are all 20-30 years old, so I don't consider many of them to be worth seeing.Never been to WDW, so was not aware that Epcot, AK, and DHS didn't give much.

Another sign that Disney is desperate to extract more money from current vacationers. I just don't know who this is for to the point where they expect to sell enough of these to keep a park open. They legit do not have these events long enough to be worth it over a day ticket for a lot of people.
Disneys increases lately have been coming from increased prices in the parks even with flat or declining attendance. They are doing this because they thought by building star wars they wouldn't have to offer any real discounts anymore and still pack the parks. They are trying to show profit growth while holding out on prices hoping that the crowds will come back for the new star wars ride or the 50th anniversary. They are scarred of setting any expectation that potential guests should wait for discounts.If Disney was truly desperate wouldn’t they be decreasing the ticket price to increase attendance? I mean raising prices in any industry rarely shows desperation.
