Wow, $43 in 2001. When it was arguably a much better Park (that was before the Pressler-era, no? If not, you get my drift. Disneyland has still not fully recovered).

Wow, nearly $300 for a family of 4 to get in.

Walt tells the story of how he would walk past the amusement park in his town as a kid and press his nose to the gate to peek in because his family couldn't afford to get in. He wanted to build a place that was clean, family oriented, and affordable.

I guess Disney thinks two out of three isn't bad......

Kids can now go to Downtown Disney for free, and stand at the gates looking in at a park that they can no longer afford to go into, and relive a part of Walt's childhood. :(

Pressler was still around in 2001 - and DCA was a brand new park.

I'm making travel plans, and I hadn't yet figured in park admission. *sigh*

Well, then it hovered at half the price it is now when it was a better Disneyland. Great.

WDW tickets are going up also. $79 for a day pass. I bought my WDW AP today before the price hike tomorrow since I'll be there in November and then again in January for the half marathon.

Whew I renewed Madzers pass on Friday night.

We had season passes when it was cheap (99 each?) for a year or two. WE lived right down the street (about 5 minutes away) and would go for the afternoon or just for a quick trip on a weekday evening and ride a few rides. It was a lot of fun.

Sadly it's so far out of our price range now we won't go for a long time.

At least my nephew works there and when my Mother in law takes them, he gets her and the kids in. (he lives with mom in law so she rather requires that from him. lol.)

They get to have the fun and I don't have to pay for it... and that's good enough.

16 million dollars to build Disneyland back in 1955.

Addmission and tickets to ride every attraciton cost almost $5.00

16,000,000/5 = 3,200,000.

What would it cost to build Disneyland today?

If it's a penny more than 231 million dollars, than I gotta say the cost today is lower than what it could reasonably be.

This family of four is going to have to give it a pass week after next. :(

We'll still be hitting the ballpark for a little Dodger blue however.
