A single-day ticket that gets you into both parks -- Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure -- went up four bucks, from $124 to $128. As before, you can find much better per-day ticket prices on multi-day purchases. On its website, Universal is offering to US and Canadian residents a three-day admission ticket for $146.99 for park-to-park and $125.99 for one-park-a-day access. That puts your per-day admission cost under $50.
History shows that whenever one of the Big Three in Orlando -- Disney, Universal and SeaWorld -- raises prices, at least one of the others follows. So if you're on the fence about buying Walt Disney World or SeaWorld Orlando tickets, you might want to hurry up and do it before those parks match Universal's increase.

If that works for you, good on ya! But people who don't - and don't have an interest in - go(ing) for much more than a day a year are sure to be whining about this and its sure-to-be domino effect.
I do like the comments about how high the celling is. This is a great question. Folks travel a long way for vacation and I do not believe 99.99 + will deter those traveling a distance. But for the locals, it might…
After Carsland opened at DCA, Disney stopped their 2 for 1 ticket (2 days for the price of 1 park) that were usually offered in the Spring time. Disneyland has very miniscule discounts. You need a microscope to find them. Not even $10 off a regular ticket, which are offered as employee discounts or AAA Auto Club.
No, the crowds at Disneyland or DCA are not thin.

Sea World with Antarctica opening up will more than likely have a bigger than usual price increase for this upcoming year.
