This is also bad news for Disneyland Resort Annual Passport holders as their costs will also rise as follows:
Premium - $649 (previously $499)
Deluxe – $469 (previously $379)
Southern California* – $329 (previously $269)
Southern California Select* – $269 (previously $199)
Additionally, the Premier Passport that allows guests to visit all the parks at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World is increasing from $749 to $849.
According to a Disney representative I spoke with, these changes for AP holders will not affect their current monthly payments, but when they renew they will be charged the higher price.
Additionally, if Disneyland tickets are purchased before tomorrow at the current, lower rate they will be honored at the gate.

Tokyo Disneyland hosts gay weddings in Japan
Despite their having no legal status, same sex couples are able to hold fairytale wedding ceremonies at hotels inside the popular Tokyo Disney Resort, including at the Cinderella Castle, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday.
News of the unions came to light when Koyuki Higashi, 27, enquired about marrying her female partner at the resort.
A member of staff who answered the call said there would be no problem with their marrying, provided they dressed “like a man and a woman”, Higashi wrote on her blog.
The staff member explained a same-sex wedding would create “repercussions” among visitors to the park if both brides were wearing wedding dresses or both grooms wore tuxedoes, the blog added.
However, a few days later, the resort operator got back in touch to say their initial response had been wrong and gay couples were free to mix and match their attire.
“We have never refused an application for a same-sex wedding at hotels here,” a spokeswoman at Milial Resort Hotels, a subsidiary of Tokyo Disney Resort, told AFP on Tuesday.
“One of our staff members was mistaken when explaining about outfits for a same-sex wedding,” she said.
But she added gay and lesbian couples were not allowed to exchange marriage vows at the onsite chapel “because of Christian teaching”.
Higashi and her bride-to-be, identified on the blog only as Hiroko, have now visited Tokyo Disneyland, where they met Mickey Mouse to give him the good news.
“Mickey first looked surprised to hear that we are a ‘couple of girls’,” Higashi wrote. “But we said we were there to thank him because same-sex weddings can be held at the Disney Resort, and he celebrated with us.”
It is not known if Higashi and her partner will go ahead with a wedding at the Cinderella Castle, which costs 7.5 million yen ($95,000).
