1985 prices

[ougrad86]

DH and I are having a disagreement. We went to the parks with complimentary tickets in October of 1985. Liked it so much, we came back for two more days. He claims that cost almost $100 for the two of us - trading the old ticket in and getting a pass for three days. I only remember about $30 each, at the most. Anybody recall what the prices were then? It was a couple years after Epcot opened, don't know if that jacked up the prices any.

I'd be interested to know this. First time I ever went to Orlando was 1985 or 1986 with my then girlfriend at the time. We're now married 27+ years.
I remember we went one day to the MK, one day to EP and one day to the River Country water park. Then we went to the East Coast for a day or 2 at the beach. I saw recently that the water park was like 12 bucks at that time but not sure what the theme parks were.
I remember the parks as being a lot less crowded in those days though.

I do know that we went to Disney in 1992 and 1993 and it was somewhere between $30 and $35 for a one day park admission.

1999 park admission was $44 if that helps any
