Preferred parking now comes with two prices depending on date

Interestingly, standard parking fees are currently unchanged at $25, but Disney has slightly altered the structure of its preferred parking option. Guests who want to park closer to the park gates will pay $45 for most of the year, which is $5 cheaper than the previous price. However, during peak season, preferred parking will return to $50 per vehicle. This seems like an upper limit for parking (both standard and preferred) and we can't see Disney going any higher with these prices, even with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge this summer. 

4. Florida Residents can still save with the 2019 Discover Disney ticket, which is unaffected by price hikes 

Back in February Disney announced that they will again allow Florida residents to purchase special "Discover Disney" tickets that offer deep discounts on regular theme park admission during a specific period. And fortunately, it looks like these discounted tickets have not been affected by the recent price hike

Tickets can be used anytime now through June 30, 2019 with no blockout dates. 

• 3-day ticket: $175 for all guests 3 and older
• 4-day ticket: $195 for all guests 3 and older

This new ticket deal offer a huge savings over the traditional Magic Your Way tickets, but the catch here is that in order to upgrade to a park hopper ticket, guests will need to pay an additional $75, which makes these substantially more expensive, but is of course still a savings over the newly-raised prices mentioned previously. 

How do you feel about all of these price hikes? Will they deter you from visiting a Disney park in 2019, or are you happy to pay more for the Disney experience as the parks add new attractions and experiences?
