Ticket prices don’t vary over the course of the year–although they typically have an annual increase in the summer. See this for more on ticket prices.

Resort prices, however, are almost twice as high during some periods as they are at others. The details are below.

LATEST REVISION TO 2011 DISNEY WORLD WEEK RANKINGS

The final bit of data needed for this site’s 2011 Weeks to Visit Walt Disney World, Ranked in Order—actual 2011 price seasons—came out earlier this week.

I’ve revised 2011 Weeks to Visit Walt Disney World based on the new price material.

While a number of weeks had their rankings change, in every case but one it was by three or fewer rankings, and not really significant.

Only one week changed quite a bit.  The week beginning December 17, 2011 shifted from number 24, in Weeks to Avoid, to 14, and has become a recommended week.

MORE ON CHANGES TO THE DISNEY WEEK RANKINGS

This shift is because prices will remain low later in this week than I had forecast.

The week will be a bit of mix. 

• The first part of the week will be wonderful, with low crowds and low prices. 
• Crowds will build from Wednesday onwards, hitting very high levels by Christmas Eve.
• Prices go up to their highest level of the year on Friday, December 23rd

The actual 2011 price seasons show quite a different pattern than in recent years—including a completely new season, the fall season.

See this for more on the new fall season.

THE NEW FALL PRICE SEASON AT WALT DISNEY WORLD

For 2011, Walt Disney World has made significant changes to the ways it increases and lowers prices at its resort hotels.

These changes have been continued in Disney’s 2012 price seasons.

These include

• A new second value season with slightly higher prices than the first value season
• A new second regular season with slightly higher prices than the first regular season, and
• A totally new season—the “Fall” season

Walt Disney World has released its 2011 resort hotel prices, and you can now book packages with Walt Disney World (or a travel agent) through December 2011.

See  2011 price season at Walt Disney World for more.

(I was a little cocky in my initial post on this, and to aid humility have left my original material below…)

I got one date wrong in my forecast 2011 price seasons –I had the summer season beginning a week earlier than in fact it does.

I have fixed that, but continue to leave my 2011 price seasons  page labeled “forecast” and “projected” as there are some oddities in December 2011 that I need to resolve first before shifting it from forecast to actual. 

More to come on December 2011.

THE WALT DISNEY WORLD PEAK SEASON

I recently posted on the 2012 Spring Break season at Walt Disney World.

Because this period is during Disney World’s “peak season,” and there’s a lot of confusion about what “peak” means, I thought I’d clarify the peak season and its implications for crowds and prices at Walt Disney World.

The key messages?

• While prices are quite high during the peak season…they get even higher! The peak season is not the peak of Disney World prices…
• While some periods of the peak season are quite crowded, some are not…and other times of the year, not in the peak season, are even more crowded! The peak season is not the peak of crowds, and some periods within it are relatively uncrowded.
