Our grievance last year was that we feel all should have the same opportunity for booking times but priority is given to Disney on site visitors. We feel we paid the same price as everybody so should get the opportunity at the same time, whereas now people on the Disney complex can book early

The prices are higher and attendance is up! People always find a way to get the money if they want to do something.

So a 10% price bump is unprecedented? Lol the Disney bias is strong with this one.

I know these price hikes are inflated, but one thing you completely failed to mention is that right now if you buy a 2 day park to park ticket, (at $219.99) you get the third day for free!!! I expect Universal will keep offering deals like this until they implement variable pricing later this year.... At least it's not $900 for an annual pass! (Even with 2 less parks, it under-cuts Disney by more than 50%). At this point you might as well get the Power Pass at $239.99 (15 months)!

Universal studios has lost their minds! First they are trying to block another theme park from coming to Orlando, now they want to charge as much or more than WDW?
They don't know enough about customer service or crowd control that Disney has perfected, and while I love The Mummy, both Harry Potter rides, the Dragon Challenge and Jurassic Park, I don't know if that will be enough to pay that price to go back
Not to mention, as a plus size person, I have NEVER been embarrassed at Disney they way I have been at least three times at Universal, on the original HP ride (one day I was allowed to ride, the next I was not - I think the pants I was wearing had a thicker waistband), the Minion ride (the bar came down and almost cut me in half) and the Hollywood roller coaster

With these kinds of price hikes, only the one per-centers will be able to go!
