October 1, 1971 will forever mark the day when the Walt Disney World Resort opened in Orlando, Florida. At the time, the price of one general admission ticket was $3.50 per person! Today, the admission is $125 which is a difference of $121.50. Crazy, right?
As years have gone on, the price of admission has increased based on inflation and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ inflation calculator. What is interesting is to see just how much prices have changed over the years and to look at it based on the cost of admission during the year you were born.
