Supply and Demand
Being a single mother as well as a kid at heart I look forward to our yearly vacation to Disney Land in Anaheim California. My children and I have made several trips to our favorite vacation spot making it a good that I have had experience purchasing. Since we live five hours away in Phoenix Arizona it is a vacation that is more realistic than others that are in farther away states and locations.
In the past I have done some research on prices to try and save as much money as I can. During our trips we have to account for several different purchases not just the tickets for the amusement park. Since we are so close we have the less expensive option of driving leaving us with the cost of gas. We also have to account for the cost of the hotel and food as well as the cost of the amusement park itself. During my years of researching the most economic avenues of all the expenses of our Disney trip I noticed that depending on the seasons, the tickets and added expenses were much more expensive. I also noticed that usual times that children were out of school the demand for the tickets were higher and there weren’t as many good deals of bundles and prices. During the time that the kids are usually out of school the weather is usually amazing as well which can defiantly play a part in the supply and demand.
During the times that we usually visit the park, the prices of the tickets are out of this world high and with the extra visitors in the area the prices for the hotels and other attractions are high as well. The establishments know they can charge what they want because we’re paying the price of Disney and we need a place to rest our tired heads so were going to pay the price of a nice hotel resulting in a high demand of the rooms.
During all of my researching I added myself to an alert that would email me when there were great deals on the tickets to the park. During November I had gotten an alert for an unbeatable price and decided to go for it...
