The Huffington Post notes that kids’ tickets also went up $5 and are now $87, which apply to either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California.
“Like any business, we evaluate and adjust our pricing based on a variety of factors,” Disney said in a statement.
For its fiscal second quarter, Disney parks have seen an operating income of $383 million, which was 73 percent more than the previous year.
Angry fans took to Disneyland's Facebook page to express dissatisfaction with the price increases.
