California’s Disneyland in the US welcomes millions of visitors every year, and in 2015, it even had to temporarily stop selling tickets due to being overwhelmed. To alleviate the crowds, the park has decided to introduce three different ticket prices based on regular days, off-peak days, and peak days, hoping to spread out tourist traffic.

Disneyland California stated that in the future, the price for regular days will be $105 (approximately NT$3,507), while peak days (such as Christmas) will cost $119 (approximately NT$3,975), and off-peak days will be $95 (approximately NT$3,173). The price difference between off-peak and peak days will exceed NT$800, and visitors can also check which days fall under regular, peak, or off-peak through the calendar on the official website.

Orlando Disneyland will also implement the same measures, but with different pricing: off-peak days will be $105 (approximately NT$3,507), regular days $110 (approximately NT$3,674), and peak days $124 (approximately NT$4,142). The price difference between off-peak and peak days will also exceed NT$600.

Even with the price increase, US Disneyland parks remain highly anticipated by tourists—not only because the new themed area “Frozen” is expected to open in the second half of 2016, but also as a Star Wars-themed area spanning over 17,000 square meters is currently in the planning stages.
