How Much A Disney World Ticket Cost The Year You Were Born
The most magical place on Earth comes with a pretty steep price tag. Right now, a one day ticket to Magic Kingdom at Disney World will set you back $119 — and you’ll pay even more if you want to get into the other three parks. But decades ago, when Disney World first opened, a ticket was a mere $3.50. Here’s how the price has gone up every year in between.

THE 16 BEST DISNEY RIDES YOU MUST GO ON AT LEAST ONCE
“IMAGINE A ROLLER COASTER… BUT IN THE DARK!” This was the feverish whisper passed amongst us first-graders. The biggest, baddest, and scariest theme park experience was none other than Space Mountain. And if you were a first-grader who got to ride it, and lived to tell the tale, you were basically a hero. And everyone wants to be a hero.
New Details Revealed for Dining Locations at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
A few months ago, we shared updates for some of the common areas at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort at Walt Disney World® Resort. Today we have more exciting news about two dining locations.
When the reimagining of Old Port Royale is complete in just a few months, the former Shutters table-service restaurant will open in an all-new location as Sebastian’s Bistro!
Located along the Old Port Royale waterfront, Sebastian’s Bistro will feature beautiful views, warm island hospitality and a menu that blends Latin and Caribbean flavors from market-fresh ingredients.
When you arrive at the casual, family-friendly restaurant, they’ll be welcomed by a blue shiplap marquee featuring everyone’s favorite red crustacean. And inside, Guests will feel as though they’ve just stepped into a tropical beachfront home.
Every detail celebrates the natural beauty of the Caribbean – from coral patterns and kelp filigree, to lure-inspired art and nautical designs. Your Clients may even notice abstract artwork and landscapes featuring Sebastian and friends.
We’re also excited to give you a look at the resort’s quick-service dining location, Centertown Market.
As previously shared, Centertown Market will be expanded to create an indoor street market vibe.
Your Clients will enter the space under a large palapa-like structure, accented with glowing, colored light pendants made from glass bottles. The market will feature open shutters, wooden light posts, awnings, ornamentation and unique seating areas. Guests will also have access to the Grab n’ Go market for specialty coffee and quick bites.
Stay tuned for more details!
