As much as I love Disney this constant increasing ticket prices is the reason that I now buy an annual pass and buy my pass every other year.
You can buy a pass in say late October and use it for quite a few trips that year and still have it good til early October the next year. I know quite a few people who do this and then you end up buying a pass every other year. So far it's working pretty good for me and gives me time to use all those other TS's that I've got and go to other nice places.
So on one year's pass I can do F & W twice, Christmas and Flower Festival and maybe a few weekends Jan-May like I did this year from Oct. '10 - Oct. '11. Then I will break until Oct. '12 and buy the pass again good for '12 and '13. When you do it this way it comes out pretty reasonable. You end up buying a yearly pass, every other year.
