The Orlando Sentinel reported on Friday that the base price of a one-day, one-park adult ticket would increase from $75 to $79. The same ticket for a child between the ages of 3 and 9 will go from $63 to $68. Prices for the resort's multiday ticket packages also will rise. The new prices will go into effect on Sunday.

Disney last raised its admission prices in August 2008. The ticket increases come a day after the Walt Disney Co. announced its third-quarter profit dropped 26 percent, as slower DVD sales pushed its movie studio into the red.
