It doesn't take a genius to know a visit to Walt Disney World is one very, very, expensive vacation. Recently, I came across tickets from our 1983 visit, just one year after the opening of the then amazing EPCOT Center.
Let's take a look at the prices in 1983, compare them to the effects of inflation and then to what the Walt Disney Company is currently charging for the same items.
1983 Prices:
One Day Magic Kingdom- $15.00
Day Parking- $1.00
One Day Transportation- $2.00
Discovery Island Excursion- $3.00
Price with Inflation to 2019:
One Day Magic Kingdom- $38.57
Day Parking- $2.57
One Day Transportation- $5.14
Discovery Island Excursion- $7.71
Current 2019 Prices:
One Day Magic Kingdom- $109.00
Day Parking- $25.00
One Day Transportation- included
Discovery Island Excursion- no longer available
At these prices, unless guests are very well off and privileged or a Disney lifestyler, Walt Disney World is most likely now trip you plan and save for or even a once in a lifetime visit for all but a small number of guests.
When you compare inflated prices to what the company is currently charging, it makes you realize that those outrageous salaries for the company executives must come from somewhere!
