Disneyland was so expensive back in the late 80's and 90's that I only visited about 10 times - even though I lived only 6 miles away, and could hear the fireworks in the summer time.
I guess if you look at it in numbers of hours you have to work to pay for one ticket, you get a "Fair" idea of the cost over the years. So comparing the $12 entrance price and $1 'E' tickets (you bought a book of tickets for the $12) in 1978 to the prices in the 80's when minimum wages where a bit higher, and today when minimum wage is 3 times as much as 1985.
Anyway their overhead is very high. Cost to buy electricity is something like $50,000 a day! Labor is very high as well.
