It appears that Disney vacations are becoming even more of a luxury.
Whether you’re planning a Disney getaway on land or setting sail on a Disney cruise, be prepared to spend a significant amount.
Recent reports suggest that Disney is quietly raising prices on various services, catching vacationers off guard.
Cruise Hive has reported that Disney Cruise Line has hiked the prices of their WiFi packages, impacting those who wish to stay connected with social media or keep in touch with family and friends during their cruise.
The cost for the basic internet package has risen from $26 to $30 per day, and the premium package has seen a 17% increase, climbing from $42 to $49. Notably, these prices apply to just a single device.

Most vacationers weren’t aware of these price changes, which Cruise Hive says are among the highest in the cruise industry, until they went to sign up for a package this month, so it seems like a very recent change.
WiFi has never been one of the included amenities, such as twice-daily stateroom cleaning and room service, for Disney cruise goers, so travelers always expected to pay. But this quiet increase in their internet service will now make an already expensive vacation that much worse.
Unfortunately, this markup doesn’t come as a total surprise, considering the Walt Disney Company hiked ticket prices for both of its US theme parks — Disney World and Disneyland back in October.
At Disney World in Orlando, Florida, one-day tickets now cost $209, a $10 increase, while annual passes across all tiers rose $20 to $80.
For a Tier 6 one-day pass at Disneyland, theme park lovers will have to shell out $224 per adult, an $18 increase and a 126% spike over the last decade.

And the price-gauging didn’t stop there.
Floridians who drive to the parks will now have to pay $5 more per parking spot, $35 instead of $30, regardless of whether it’s standard or preferred parking.
Disney officials blame rising labor costs and ongoing park work for its jump in prices, according to MickeyVisit.com — an excuse almost every business uses these days to justify their high costs of things.
