Q: I’ll see your theme park admission price hike and raise you a buck. Disney always aims to be at the forefront of film and theme park innovation. Apparently, it feels the need to be the leader in charging the most for theme park tickets as well. Less than a week after Universal Studios Orlando raised its basic ticket to $88, Disney World jacked its base price up to $89. Multi-day passes were made proportionally more expensive as well. 
  
 At the beginning of June in 2011, the base admissions price to a Walt Disney World park was $82. By the end of the month, it was $85. Now, a year later, it’s $89 for adults, $83 for kids ages 3 to 9. 
  
 Upon news of the most recent price hike, one Orlando Sentinel columnist speculates that the $100 ticket may arrive as soon as 2014, based on WDW’s history of jacking up prices roughly 6% (or a little under $4) per year. Even as prices have risen 70% in the past decade, the all-but-inevitable $100 price point may serve as a cut-off for certain visitors, according to the column: 
  
 “The moment you get to three digits, it has an emotional impact,” says Eli Portnoy, CEO of CultureRanch, which studies consumer behavior. “It’s a barrier no one wants to cross, and Disney is going to have to be careful about crossing it.”

 Even with regular price increases assumed, the most recent ones in central Florida came as somewhat of a surprise. It was only last summer when the last price hike took place, and even as prices at California’s Disneyland were raised, experts thought that it would be at least fall before the theme parks in Orlando jacked up their ticket prices. 
  
 Last week, though, Universal Studios Orlando raised its base price from $85 to $88. The assumption was that Disney would match the price increase, probably quite soon. But Disney did Universal one, or $1, better, separating itself from the competition—thereby getting weird bragging rights of some sort—by raising its adult admissions price to a minimum of $89 (plus tax) for a one-day pass.

 “Minimum” is there because it’s easy to theme park patrons to pay a lot more than that—just for admissions. (Food, parking, souvenirs, and such can obviously add a bundle more to your bill.) The $89 price is strictly for a ticket granting entrance to one park, on one day. A “Park Hopper” ticket, which allows the visitor to hit more than one Disney park on the same day, has already crossed far beyond the $100 threshold: It now costs $124 (plus tax), up from $120. 
  
 Beyond the greedy executives seeking to vacuum ever-more dollars out of customers, there may be someone else to blame for the price hikes: customers themselves. A new report relates that, despite lackluster economic growth and general unease about the state of jobs and real estate, and despite price hikes instituted by Universal and Disney, theme park attendance rose nearly 3% in 2011. Much of the growth is attributed to Universal’s new “Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” but attendance also increased at Disney and SeaWorld parks. 
  
 When theme park executives see numbers like this, they automatically think that they’re undercharging for admission. And they automatically move to correct such a “mistake.”

 As things stand, theme parks aren’t really looking to boost attendance in leaps and bounds. In certain circles, it’s understood that price hikes are meant as crowd control: They’re used as a strategy to avoid overcrowding, by way of scaring off visitors who aren’t willing to pony up top dollar for admissions. What’s left coming through the turnstiles are the most desirous customers—folks who don’t think twice about dropping $500 or so per day on short-lived thrills for their families, and who are likely to drop much, much more than that on food, lodging, and other amusements during their vacations.

 But about half of that increase was because of one attraction — the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which opened at Universal's Islands of Adventure park in Orlando, Fla. 
  
 None of the major theme parks makes its attendance records public, but annual estimates are made by AECOM, a Los Angeles engineering and consulting firm. Those figures were used in a report released by the Themed Entertainment Assn. trade group. 
  
 The report pegged the overall 2011 year-over-year rise in attendance at 2.9%, compared with an estimated 1.8% increase in 2010. 
  
 At Islands of Adventure, 2011 attendance jumped to 7.7 million, a 29% increase, according to the report. 
  
 Without that jump in attendance, overall theme park attendance growth in North America would have been only 1.6%, the report said. 
  
 Even though the boost in attendance in North America was due in large part to one attraction, the overall rate was a good sign, Brian Sands, a vice president at AECOM, said in the report. 
  
 "It's a very positive indicator of solid growth," Sands said. "This was despite continued weakness in the U.S. economy." 
  
 Most of Southern California's major theme parks enjoyed modest increases in attendance in 2011, according to estimates in the report. 
  
 Disneyland, Southern California's most popular theme park, drew an estimated 16.14 million visitors, a 1% increase from 2010. Next door, Disney California Adventure Park hosted 6.34 million visitors, also a 1% increase. 
  
 Universal Studios Hollywood had 5.14 million visitors, a 2% increase from 2010. 
  
 Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park drew 3.65 million visitors, a 1.5% increase. 
  
 And Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia hosted 2.7 million visitors, a 3.8% increase. 
  
 The only major park in Southern California to get a big boost was SeaWorld San Diego. It hosted 4.29 million visitors, a 13% jump. The increase was at least partly because of the show One Ocean, starring not only Shamu but also Baby Shamu.

A:
Visiting Mickey will soon cost a C-note if prices keep rising at Walt Disney World parks, Time reports. Basic admission cost $82 last June and hit $89 a year later, which, according to one Orlando Sentinel columnist, means $100 entry could come in just two years. “The moment you get to three digits, it has an emotional impact,” says one consumer analyst. “It’s a barrier no one wants to cross, and Disney is going to have to be careful about crossing it.” Why the price hikes, during desperate times? The competition, for one: Universal Studios Orlando just raised its basic entry to $88. Plus, as the LA Times reports, theme park attendance rose 3% last year—which gives park executives the unofficial green light to raise prices. What's more, price hikes are considered a means of crowd control, notes Time: Scare off visitors who can't afford it, and attract big spenders who consider the $100 gate fee just the beginning.
