 Walt
Disney World Raises Ticket Prices
Walt Disney World announced the biggest ticket-price increase in the
last 15 years an adult ticket to any of its theme parks on Friday.
The price of a one-day, one-park adult admission increases $2.75 to
$54.75, before tax, restoring Disney's title as owner of Central
Florida's most expensive collection of theme parks. Experts
say that the record price increase is another signal that the
flagging tourism-based economy is on the mend.
