Universal Orlando matches Disney’s price raise

Universal Orlando has raised the price of its single-day, single-park ticket to $71, matching a recent raise by Walt Disney World. Following Disney's lead, Universal also raised ticket prices on a variety of two-park and multi-day packages, as well as on Florida resident and internet-only tickets.

"We've worked very hard to preserve value for Floridians, people who want multiple-day experiences and for those who buy online," said Universal spokesman Tom Schroder. Schroder said the increases at Universal were made to adjust prices to "market levels," but he would not clarify those as marks set by Disney World.
