Looking at a historical perspective of the PRICE INCREASES for Basic and Premium AP for WDW from 2009 to 2019. There has been a pattern of every three years a higher percentage increase. For example there has been a higher percentage increase in (10%) 2012, (16%) 2015, (13%) 2018 and now (18%) 2019. Disney needs to change that pattern to every 5 years. In the last ten years Disney has raised the WDW AP 42% and the Premium Pass 50%. Its tough to justify the 31% increase in two years for the AP. I use to say that I had no problem paying a little extra for the great WDW entertainment in the parks, but I feel the entertainment has dropped and the magic is fading. I think WDW is losing the MAGIC.....
What has the AP Increases paid for:
2012- Fantasyland Expansion
2015- Pandora Land
2018-Toy Story Land
2019- Galaxy's Edge
2020- EPCOT, TRON, .... Someone has to pay for the $4 billion in projects
