New year will cost more at Disney Walt Disney World said Friday that ticket prices for its four parks in Orlando are going up on Sunday, the second of Central Florida's big three theme parks to announce a price increase in recent weeks. Disney spokesman Craig Dezern said prices are rising 0.8 percent to 5.8 percent depending on the length of stay per ticket. Disney's ticket prices now differ more than ever from those of its competitors, however, as it launched a menu-based ticket pricing plan called Magic Your Way in January 2005, offering a range of ticket options. A key feature is that longer stays are less expensive on a per-day basis, a strategy that Disney representatives, and industry analysts, say is designed to entice people to extend their visit.

Would You Like Some Fries With That Download? If the Walt Disney Company has its way, McDonald's Happy Meal toys could be replaced with portable media players that hold Disney movies, music, games or photos, according to a pending patent application. Users could add files to the devices by earning points with food purchases. The plan could work something like this: A customer enters a restaurant and buys a meal, receiving the portable media player and an electronic code that authorizes a partial download of a movie, video or other media file, which can be downloaded while in the restaurant, according to a United States Patent and Trademark Office application filed by Disney. Then, with each subsequent return, the customer earns more downloadable data, eventually getting an entire movie or game.
