Recently, Shanghai Disneyland Park has announced a rise in its entrance tickets, which will take effect since June 6, 2018. According to the announcement, the park will adopt a three-tier ticket policy, namely, regular, peak, and peak holiday. On regular days, an adult ticket will cost CNY 399, while on peak days including July, August, weekends, and most public holidays, an adult ticket will cost CNY 575. During peak holidays, particularly referring to the Chinese Lunar New Year Holiday and National Day Holiday, an adult ticket will sell at CNY 665. Children between 1.0 and 1.4 meters (3.3 and 4.6 feet) and seniors over 65 can still enjoy a 25% discount.
 

	Current Price	Price Since June 6, 2018	Increase by
Regular	CNY 370	CNY 399	CNY 29, 7.8%
Peak Days	CNY 499	CNY 575	CNY 76, 15%
Peak Holidays	CNY 499	CNY 665	CNY 166, 33%

 

After the ticket price rise has been announced, many people brought forward their schedule for Shanghai Disneyland Park. The flights and tickets booking have increased by over 50%, especially for those during the 2018 New Year Holiday (Dec. 30, 2017 - Jan. 1, 2018) and Spring Festival (Feb. 15 - 21, 2018). Visitors wishing to travel during these periods had better book in advance.

The Toy Story Land, the 7th theme park in Shanghai Disney, will open in April 26, 2018. Large investment having been made and to be made in maintaining the new park is a probable reason for the ticket price rise.

Anyway, Disney has the tradition to raise prices occasionally. For instance, since December 15, 2017, Hong Kong Disneyland has increased its standard ticket price to HK$ 619 for visitors aged 12 to 64, HK$ 458 for those aged 3 to 11, and HK$ 100 for seniors aged over 65.
 

Even though the rise in ticket price may frustrate visitors' enthusiasm toward Shanghai Disneyland Park, it holds a competitive position in price against other Disney resorts in the world. It can be clearly concluded from the chart that Shanghai Disneyland Park will still charge the least from visitors.
