Once again, ticket prices at Disneyland are going up, according to the Disney Parks Blog. I said sometime back that I expected ticket prices would be going up, once the new World of Color show was up and running. I was sure that the influx of people trying to catch this new attraction, would flood the parks with guest, leaving the cast members with extra problems trying to deal with all of these people in an ever shrinking space and no way to accommodate all of their needs.Parking, dining, shopping, and all have become harder to do. So ticket prices go up, the cash registers still remain full, higher ticket prices slows down a few of the people making their way to the parks, which makes everything better for those guest that remain, as well as Disneyland staff.

I predict that when Cars Land opens, you’ll see another price increase, along the same time frame, just a few weeks after it opens. But it will probably be a larger increase. So maybe now I should move to Southern California, just so I can take advantage of the bargain prices offered by Disney, for local residents with their Southern California Select Annual Pass.

Here’s the breakdown of new prices which go into effect August 5, 2010.

In searching the world for interesting Disneyland tidbit, I ran across a series of photos and story from the website Brand New Me. The report says that Nara Dreamland was built in 1961 and styled after our very own Disneyland. But the project was not sucessful and has been abandoned and gone into disrepair. Leaving the property a fenced off field of weeds and peeling paint. Kyle from the Brand New Me website has posted several photos that he was able to get, so stop by and check them out.

It’s sad to think that so much was put into this project, only to see it close in 2006.

It just goes to show you, that nobody can do it like Disney.

Here is a overhead view of the park
