OVERVIEW: WALT DISNEY WORLD ADMISSION TICKET PRICES 2011

Three types of Walt Disney World prices are important to think about:

• Walt Disney World theme park admission ticket prices—the tickets that grant you admission to the parks
• Walt Disney World resort hotel prices, and
• Park and hotel food prices

This page focuses on Walt Disney World theme park admission ticket prices for 2011 until August, when they typically go up.

Because of changes to Walt Disney World’s summer Fantasmic schedule, the Easter/Summer Itinerary no longer works for summer visits.

As a result, I’ve split this itinerary into two. 

• The Easter Itinerary is identical to the old Easter/Summer itinerary, and still can be found here with a new name.
• The new Summer Itinerary is here (and its To-Do List is here). The changes in it are minor, and, in particular, its restaurant reservations remain identical to those of the former version.
