Get outta here - $69 for a single-day adult ticket and $59 for kids? Earlier this week, the Mouse House reported decent quarterly results from the theme park division (3 percent profit growth, 5 percent revenue growth), in part because of an increase in European visitors drawn to the U.S. by a weaker dollar. Ticket prices most recently went up about a year ago. Some of you might remember when Disneyland ticket prices started at a buck ($2.50 for eight attractions). Today, there are 60 attractions. Yippee!!! Here's the OC Register post.
