Disney Parks Gouging Families

Disney World ticket prices are rising in 2025, but hidden costs like Lightning Lane fees make the experience even pricier. Families often feel pressured to pay extra for quicker access to rides, adding significantly to the overall expense of a visit. While Disney is offering hotel discounts and new perks, such as water park access, the rising costs for premium attractions can push a single-day trip for a family of four to over $740. As Universal Studios' Epic Universe opens, competition could impact future pricing and market share.
