ORLANDO-For 30 years, Walt Disney World has set the pace in annually raising ticket prices to its 30,000-acre theme park emporium. But this year, for the first time, neighboring Sea World got the jump by pushing its net admissions to $50.83 from $48.88 per adult. Disney waited two days, then increased its tickets by $2 to $50.88, beating Sea World's price by a nickel. Universal Orlando's net $49.22 price is unchanged so far.
