The fee is strictly from the company that runs the Panama Canal, Disney did not mark this up. I received the same notice from every cruise line along with information from our industry news sources.
The cost increase is to help fund the expansion of the canal that is going on now, so they will be able to handle those large new cruise ships Disney is building. Completion is not scheduled until 2015 on the canal, but they are hoping by 2010 or 2011 to have it at least operational for the larger ships.
The cost was approx $79 per passenger before.
