Improved Essays

Imagine only having to pay $1 as an admission fee to your happy place. Back in 1955 that was the cost you would have to pay to get into a place that many people adore (Blasingame). Disneyland makes a ton of money a year solely based on how much money it takes to actually get into the parks. To gain a better understanding, I will first preview the history of ticket prices.

Currently the prices of the Annual Passports are ridiculously high, but Disneyland thought of a strategy to make even more money. They now have a monthly payment plan based on what kind off Annual Pass you would like to buy. The Premium pass is currently unavailable as of today. There is now a new pass called the Disney Signature Plus Passport for $1049 with no blackout days with a monthly payment plan of roughly $79.17 (Annual Passports). The next available pass is the Disney Signature Passport which is $849 and has 16 days blocked out between December 19 and January 2 (Annual Passports). The third pass is the Disney Deluxe Passport and it is $599 and has a lot of blackout days and is $41.67 (Annual Passport). The last type of pass is the Disney Southern California Select Passport and is $329 with monthly payment of $19.17 it has mainly blackout dates (Annual Passports). The parking is only free if you purchase the Disney Signature Plus Pass and the Disney Signature Pass otherwise it is $17 each time you go and park (Annual Passports). This will discourage a lot of people from buying passes and have more people leaning to the Day Passes that are $99 for one day. The demand of Disneyland has gone up therefore making the prices shoot up as

As a kid I had always love Mickey Mouse and reading this booking seeing that he was the cartoon to character that started this.…
