Disney raises ticket price for Night of Joy

Although Walt Disney World didn't raise theme park prices this year, it's
hiking the admission for the annual "Night of Joy" Christian music event by $2
per advance ticket to $34.95 plus tax.
That hike keeps pace with Universal Orlando -- which did raise theme park
admission prices this year -- and its competing "Rock The Universe" songfest.
For the fifth straight year, both attractions have scheduled their Christian
music events head-to-head. They will be held Sept. 6 and 7. And both will
feature many of the biggest names in religious music.
At Universal Studios, the Grammy Award-winning Jars of Clay will appear on
Sept. 6. Also appearing there will be Third Day, a former winner of the Gospel
Music Association's Artist of the Year award.
Disney World's event will be held at Magic Kingdom and feature such performers
as Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman and Kirk Franklin.
"Night of Joy" began at Disney World in 1983. Universal started "Rock The
Universe" in 1998.
