DISNEY WORLD RAISES ADMISSION PRICES

Walt Disney World, citing the addition of several recently installed entertainment features, has raised its admission prices by 6 to 8 percent.

The standard single-day admission to one theme park (Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center or the Disney MGM Studios park) now costs $34.85, $27.45 for children under age 10, up from $32.75 and $26.40 respectively. (All quoted prices include sales tax.)

The four-day passport, good for all three parks, is now $117.20, up from $109.85, and $92.90 for children, up from $87.65.

The five-day Super Passport has been increased to $153.15 and $122.50 for children, formerly $142.60 and $114.10 respectively.

The Super Passport is valid at all the theme parks as well as such additional attractions as Typhoon Lagoon, River Country, and Discovery and Pleasure Islands. The increases took effect last month.

Disney World, which last raised its admission prices in January 1990, is expanding its theme parks in preparation for its 20th anniversary celebration beginning Oct. 1.

Attractions added in the past year include the "Here Come the Muppets" and Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles stage shows and the Sorcery in the Sky fireworks show.
