In some cases, it's a $150 price increase. (AP with parking.)

No mention of WDW ticket price increases.

They typically go up in August, but went up in
June last year.

Maybe I should by an AP voucher before it goes up since they
don't expire... A hedge on inflation, so to speak. :-)

So, am I to understand that if I purchase an Annual Passport on-line by 12
midnight PDT tonight that my pricing will be the current (today's) price?

Yes. But DLR AP vouchers expire in 1 year, I think, so make sure
you're going to use it.

WDW vouchers never expire, so it's less of a problem.

A potentially better deal : buy a discounted MYW pass now (Undercover
Tourist is my go-to source), then upgrade it to an AP when you get to WDW.
In a couple of recent price increases, non-expiring passes have gone up more
than annual passes, so you you gain a bit there, plus you get the discount
on the purchase itself that carries over to the upgrade. (Provided that you
do the upgrade properly - doing it incorrectly can be a disaster.)

I'm looking at doing this myself very soon. The best applicable discount at
present from UT appears to be the 7-day non-expiring water park ticket.

I think Disneyland ticket price increases is the subject not WDW.

You are correct, but the topic spun off into a discussion about DW ticket
prices. Traditionally, WDW ticket prices wold go up in August, but last
year, they raised prices earlier in June. So the discussion was regarding
how you might insulate yourself from that, and I think the suggestion of
buying a discounted pass from one of the legitimate ticket resellers now is
the best bet.

OK, I'm sorry for not realizing this.
