When you wish upon a star, be sure to bring your wallet. Disneyland has taken another step toward becoming the priciest place on earth.
Disney said in a statement that starting Sunday, a one-day adult ticket to one park will cost $92, a $5 increase. The Los Angeles Times says a single-day ticket to Disneyland Park or the Disney California Adventure Park for customers age 10 or older rose nearly 6 percent, now costing $92. Admission for kids ages 3 to 9 also rose to $86 from $81.
Buyers of annual passes will see similar increases.

The Disneyland statement says the price hikes were brought on by "a variety of factors," but that the tickets represent a great value given the breadth and quality of attractions and entertainment" its parks offer.
In Florida, the Orlando Sentinel says visitors age 10 and up will pay $95 to enter the Magic Kingdom. For children ages 3 to 9, tickets will cost $89. This $6 price hike makes Magic Kingdom the most expensive of the Disney theme parks. A one-day ticket for the other parks costs $90.
"Like any business, we evaluate and adjust our pricing based on a variety of factors," Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius told the Sentinel. "A ticket to our theme parks represents a great value, particularly when you look at the breadth and quality of attractions and entertainment we offer and the special moments guests experience with our cast."
