Achart posted to social media last year by a researcher at SJ DataVisualizations, a UK-based firm, shows that prices for Disney World have risenby at least 3,871% since 1971, with prices rising at a more drastic ratein the early 1980s compared to its first decade.

去年英国公司SJData Visualizations的一名研究员上传到社交媒体的图表显示，奥兰多迪士尼世界的票价自1971年以来已经上涨了至少3871%，相比第一个十年，上世纪80年代初上涨幅度更猛。

Familiesspoke out about the prices earlier this year as traveling picked back upfollowing coronavirus lockdowns, and they expressed shock at the price hikes.One dad of two estimated he would be on the hook for a $4,000 to $5,000 bill,even with one of his kids qualifying for free admission.

今年早些时候，随着疫情封锁结束后出游人数回升，美国家庭表达了对于迪士尼乐园票价上涨的震惊。一位两个孩子的父亲估算，即使他有一个小孩可以免费入园，他们一家人还是要花费4000到5000美元才能去乐园玩一次。

"Iunderstand inflation and all of those things. I understand costincreases," Kentucky father Matt Day told the Washington Post earlier thisyear on the high prices. "I always had the impression that Disney was afamily vacation destination, and that impression is why I was surprised to seehow expensive it truly was — and how out of reach it is for most Americanfamilies."

这位来自肯塔基州的父亲马特·戴今年早些时候就迪士尼乐园的高票价对《华盛顿邮报》说：“我明白通货膨胀和所有这一切。我理解票价为什么要上涨。在我的印象中，迪士尼乐园一直是全家人去度假的好地方，正是这一印象让我对高票价感到震惊——多数美国家庭根本负担不起。”

"It’sreally unprecedented," said Len Testa, president of theme-parktrip-planning site Touring Plans told the Washington Post earlier this year."We haven’t seen this sort of anger about price hikes in — we can’tremember the last time something like this caused this much anger from Disneyfans."

主题乐园旅游规划网站TouringPlans的总裁伦恩·特斯塔今年早些时候告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“这是史无前例的。我们从未见过人们对票价上涨这么气愤，也不记得迪士尼粉丝过去曾因为这种事这么恼火。”
