Uh oh. Bad news, guys. A trip down south to see Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts might be getting a bit more expensive.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a new payment system, possibly in consideration to help ease the parks’ traffic congestion. A survey was sent out to annual pass holders asking for opinions on pricing for two parks: Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Fla., and Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

The new pricing system would include three tiers — Gold, Silver or Bronze — which indicate the ticket “value.” Gold tickets could be used any day of the year, Silver could be used every day of the year except peak days and popular holiday weeks and Bronze tickets could only be used in off-peak times.

Based on one scenario of the survey, the L.A. Times reports the ticket prices could range from $115 for Gold tickets, $105 for Silver and $99 for Bronze.

Currently, Disneyland charges $99 for a fixed price one-day ticket that can be used any day of the year. Walt Disney World charges $105.
