Hong Kong’s “Magic Kingdom” just got pricer, with Disneyland today raising its ticket prices by an average of 5.8 percent.

According to the theme park, the single-day admission fee for adults has increased to HK$619 (US$79) while a children’s ticket now costs HK$458 (US$58).

This is its fifth annual price increase since 2012 and will see the price of a two-day ticket rise to HK$799 (US$102) and HK$589 (US$75) for adults and children, respectively.

Ticket for senior citizens aged over 65, however, remain unchanged at HK$100 (US$13). Visitors with disabilities will also continue to enjoy a 30 percent discount.

A grace period will be extended to Hong Kong residents, who can still enter the park at the pre-rise prices for the next two months, meaning savings of HK$30 for adults and HK$40 for children.

Also, local residents can apply for Magic Access membership at the old prices before April 10, and enjoy a four-month grace period for purchasing all tiers of Magic Access.

A park spokeswoman said that “operational needs” were a factor necessitating the fee increase, according to the SCMP.

The park has been struggling in recent times, with its 2016 financial report revealing a net loss of HK$171 million (US$21.8 million) on the back of a 11 percent decrease in attendance compared to the year before, which was mainly due to declining visitors from mainland China.

Rival amusement park Ocean Park also recently announced a nine percent entrance fee increase and is likewise facing deficits and declining attendance.

Among the three Disneyland parks in Asia, Hong Kong’s sells the most expensive admission tickets.

Its one-day general adult ticket is about 40 percent pricer than Shanghai Disneyland, and about 20 percent higher than Tokyo Disneyland.
