Hrm, according to an inflation calculator, which bases it off of the real inflation rate, a ticket that cost 18$ in 1983 SHOULD cost 38.20$ in 2007 dollars. Somehow, I think prices have gone up by more than inflation!

Well shoot, it was like 30 some bucks in 1991 when Melody and I first went and that was with a USO discount.

Freeze your post count at 499 or get to 1000 fast.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

That's just nuts. I seem to remember Michael Eisner once saying something like, we'll just keep raising the price to see when people stop coming. People never did!

But in 1983 all there was were MK (without Toontown) and Epcot (without Morocco or Norway), as well as the Marketplace, golf courses, and four hotels.
