Then there’s Disneyland Paris, thought it wasn’t always fully owned by Disney . When it opened in 1992, a ticket was €30.49. Now it is €79 , which is an annual increase of 3.34%. Koala projects that a ticket will be €109.73 by 2031—a 259.89% increase.The Asian parks are likely to remain more affordable. Indeed, Koala found that the smallest increase on the list is predicted to be at China’s Shanghai Disney Resort, where prices are only projected to rise 25% by 2031.
According to Kennedy, the Koala team wondered what effect inflation had on the price of entry and what effect it will continue to have. “Was it always considered expensive relative to its time?” he asks. “Based on the current inflation trajectory, will the exponentially high cost of entry curtail some family vacations in the future? Most importantly, how can we help vacationers prepare for this?”
And yet, Disney remains wildly popular—even during the pandemic. “Like many of our most popular destinations this year, travel accelerated as vaccines became more widely accessible and travelers felt more confident,” says Kennedy. “What makes Disney unique, however, was the intensity of the pent-up demand. From March to April, for example, Orlando bookings more than doubled.", Kennedy says that Koala hasn’t seen a decline in bookings.
