SeaWorld Orlando has now raised their prices $3 to match Universal Studios who raised theirs a few weeks ago. This type of tic for tac price raising is nothing new to Orlando’s theme parks but what is new is the Disney differential prices for Magic Kingdom and the rest of their parks. Disney's Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios are at $90 for a day while Magic Kingdom is at $95. This means that now SeaWorld Orlando cost more than any Disney park other than Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is now possibly the most expensive theme park in the world for single day tickets.

SeaWorld Orlando delayed their price increases last year and
now face the reality of three price increases within a short 12 month
period. The price increase does only
apply to single day tickets and Fun Cards.
Multi-day tickets and annual passes will remain at their current prices.
The reality of Disney being the cheapest theme parks in
Orlando is a very rare one and some are expecting news from the mouse soon with
them raising the $90 parks $2 to meet SeaWorld and Universal’s prices.
SeaWorld Parks also announced that Busch Gardens would be raising the price of a one day ticket to $89, an increase of $4.
Here is how some locals reacted to SeaWorld's announcement...
