Inflation in wonderland: Disney hikes prices as much as 10% | Breakout - Yahoo Finance

This year, some of the announced stars will include notable alumni from the original trilogy, who are also about to return to those iconic roles in Episode VII, including Peter Mayhew and, for the first time at Star Wars Weekends, Mark Hamill . When it came to these appearances, Hoffert said, Its incredible for us. It's perfect timing too that they've announced all of the great new actors and returning actors for Episode VII. A lot of those are going to be at Star Wars Weekends this year too. It's just a great bridge for us as we think about getting into when the movie launches in December of next year and when you think about the content we're able to bring to life for our guests. The amount of actors that we've got and the celebrity appearances we're going to have this year are phenomenal. When I asked Hoffert about guests doing their best to glean any information they can from Hamill and Mayhew about Episode VII, she replied, Oh, I'm sure! Definitely.

Done Content preferences Done To be sure, Disney ( DIS ) customers are used to price hikes but the company is showing signs of getting more aggressive in recent years. The company normally waits until school lets out in June before hiking annual prices, but the Disney Land ticket boost last weekend comes immediately ahead of the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day weekend starting Friday. Visitors to Disney World in Orlando took an even harder hit last February when the price of a one day pass was hiked to $99.
