one day ticket to disney world magic kingdom

It was already cost prohibitive to buy park hopping for anything less than a 5-day ticket, but if they're going to charge even more, it's bordering usurious (granted what UO does for their park-park benefit, which is the only way to ride the Hogwart's Express, is similarly dirty). It's bad enough guests cannot switch parks until 2 PM (and also cannot reserve LL through Genie+ until they've entered their second park), but to now charge even more for that benefit puts it into the 'rip off' category. The increased cost for park hopping without a corresponding change to park hopping rules further devalues the benefit. By making this change, this allows Disney to profit from special days/events that are park specific (festival openings at EPCOT, Star Wars 'holidays' at DHS - Life Day, May the 4th, Earth Day at DAK, and opening days for specific attractions/overlays across all of WDW). It's easy now for companies to build in back-end algorithms to calculate the optimal pricing for each park/day to earn that extra revenue on days/parks that are in higher demand.

To me, this continues Disney's (and businesses overall) trying to profit from 'micro-transactions' on desirable goods and services. When Galaxy's Edge opened, the figurative playing field was leveled, so WDW dropped the increased cost for MK when admission prices were raised to visit all the parks. WDW had already tried this once when they increased the price to visit MK on a 1-day ticket a few years ago.
