ORLANDO -- Disney World increased its gate-admission price by $2 to
$52 .
That price, for single-day theme park tickets, is for ages 10
and older. For ages 3 to 9, the price is $42.
The prices for Park Hopper passes purchased in advance did not
increase, so they become more attractive relative to the gate
price.

A four-day Park Hopper pass for adults, for example, is $16 less
than gate price.
For kids 3 to 9, the savings is $15 for advance purchases.
Park Hopper passes are available in four- to seven-day
versions.
A Disney spokeswoman declined to elaborate on why the gate price
was raised.
