Going to Disney World? Better dig deeper in your pockets to get in

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The cost of going to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World just got more expensive.

Disney World has raised the one-day ticket price to the Magic Kingdom by $4 so that it now costs $99 before taxes for visitors over age 9.

Single-day tickets for the resort's other parks — Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom — also went up by $4. It now costs $94 to get into those parks for visitors over age 9.

For children under age 10, the cost is $93 to get into the Magic Kingdom and $88 to enter the other parks.

Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty says the pricing reflects the high quality of the parks. She also says that most guests buy multiday tickets, which are considerably cheaper per day.
