Disneyland Price Hike: Families Hit By Price Hike in Time for Summer (VIDEO)
A Disneyland price hike has upset some families planning to visit Disney's U.S. parks over the summer season.
The company has announced that Disneyland and Disney World will both be subjected to price hikes in time for the summer season, which will hit thousands of families budgeting for a family vacation to Florida or California in the coming months.
It has been announced that Disney World in Orlando Florida will see the price of a one day adult pass increase by about $6 per person. That means entrance will be $95 for one adult for the day.

There is almost no discount for children, and only under 10s will be able to demand a paltry $6 discount, and enter the park for $89.
Disneyland will also see a price hike, but it will not quite be as much as its Florida counterpart. It has been announced that a one day pass at the Anaheim park will cost an adult $92 for the day. Again children are able to enter the park for just $6 less at $86 for the day.
That means a family of four consisting of 2 adults and 2 under 10s would have to pay $368 just to get into the park for the day. Many families then spend hundreds of dollars on souvenirs and refreshments inside the park through the course of the day.
Of course thousands of visitors will also have to splash out hundreds of dollars more for hotel, food outside the park, as well as parking fees.
It has also been announced that those who purchase annual passes will also have to swallow a price hike. There are various tickets that can be purchased by Disney lovers, but most can expect about a $20 or so increase in the annual ticket prices.
"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," spokesman Bryan Malenius has attempted to explain.
Here is a video report into the Disneyland price hike:
