About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Disney World Ticket Prices Nearly Double Over Past Decade: PixieVacations Reveals Comprehensive Analysis and Money-Saving Strategies for 2025 Travelers

Walt Disney World ticket prices reach historic highs in 2025, with peak one-day Magic Kingdom tickets now exceeding $200 for the first time ever, PixieVacations.com has released a comprehensive analysis of Disney World ticket prices over the past decade. The leading Disney vacation planning service aims to help families navigate these rising costs while still creating magical memories.

Disney World Ticket Prices:

According to PixieVacations' latest market research, Walt Disney World ticket prices have undergone some significant transformation since 2015:

  • Lowest-priced tickets increased from $97 to $119 (22.7% increase)
  • Peak-season tickets surged from $105 to $209 (99% increase)
  • Current price range for one-day tickets: $119-$209, depending on park and date

"Families planning Disney vacations in 2025 are facing rising ticket costs," said Steve Griswold, Owner at PixieVacations.com. "Our data shows that peak-season tickets have essentially doubled over the past ten years, making strategic planning more important than ever. However, with the right approach and expert guidance, families can still experience the magic of Disney World without breaking the bank."

Understanding Disney's Dynamic Pricing Strategy

The research reveals that Disney's pricing evolution has included several key changes:

  • 2015: Simple pricing structure with Magic Kingdom at $105 and other parks at $97
  • 2016: Introduction of tiered seasonal pricing (Value, Regular, Peak)
  • 2019: Addition of "Holiday" pricing tier, expanding the price range significantly
  • 2022: Shift to dynamic, date-based pricing system
  • 2025: Peak tickets exceed $200 threshold for the first time in Disney World's 54-year history

This dynamic pricing model means that the same Magic Kingdom ticket can vary by up to $90 depending on the date selected, creating both challenges and opportunities for savvy vacation planners.

For Fun We Created a Surprising Comparison: Disney vs. Taylor Swift Concert Costs

In an eye-opening analysis, PixieVacations compared the cost of a Disney World visit to attending a Taylor Swift concert for a family of four, revealing unexpected insights about entertainment value and accessibility.

Key Findings:

  • Disney World (Low Season): $476 for family of four ($119 per person)
  • Disney World (Peak Season): $836 for family of four ($209 per person)
  • Taylor Swift Face Value Average: $816 for family of four ($204 per person)
  • Taylor Swift Resale Median: $6,200 for family of four ($1,550 per person)

"While Disney World prices have increased significantly, our analysis shows that a day at Magic Kingdom still offers exceptional value compared to other major entertainment events," explained Steve Griswold. "With 12+ hours of entertainment, 40+ attractions, and year-round availability, Disney remains more accessible than many assume—especially when you know how to maximize your investment."

Expert Tips for Saving on Disney World Vacations in 2025

PixieVacations.com recommends the following strategies for families planning Disney vacations:

1. Book During Value Season Target late August through September or early January through February when ticket prices are lowest and crowds are lighter.

2. Purchase Multi-Day Tickets Per-day costs decrease significantly with longer tickets. A 5-day ticket averages much less per day than a 1-day ticket.

3. Plan Around Peak Pricing Avoid holiday weeks and spring break periods when tickets reach maximum prices. Mid-week visits typically cost less than weekends.

4. Consider Non-Magic Kingdom Days Animal Kingdom tickets start at $119, while Magic Kingdom ranges up to $209. Mix parks strategically to reduce overall costs.

5. Work with Expert Planners Professional Disney vacation planners can identify the best value dates, secure exclusive discounts, and maximize your park experience.

Why Professional Disney Vacation Planning Matters More Than Ever

With Disney World's increasingly complex pricing structure and the average family spending $3,000-$6,000+ on a Disney vacation, expert planning has become essential rather than optional.

PixieVacations.com offers complimentary vacation planning services that include:

  • Personalized itinerary development optimized for your budget and priorities
  • Strategic date selection to minimize ticket costs while maximizing park enjoyment
  • Dining reservation assistance for popular restaurants
  • Lightning Lane strategy planning to reduce wait times
  • Real-time pricing monitoring to secure the best available rates
  • Post-booking support throughout your entire vacation

"Our clients save an average of $500-$1,500 on their Disney vacations through strategic planning and by booking and monitoring current offers," noted Steve Griswold. "More importantly, they gain peace of mind knowing every detail is expertly managed, allowing them to focus on creating magical family memories."

Looking Ahead: What to Expect for Disney World Pricing

Based on historical trends, PixieVacations anticipates continued annual price adjustments, with Disney likely maintaining its dynamic pricing model that rewards flexible travelers willing to visit during off-peak periods.

"The key is understanding that while Disney World has become more expensive, it hasn't become impossible," emphasized Steve Griswold. "With proper planning and expert guidance, families at virtually any budget level can still experience the magic. The difference between a stressful, overpriced Disney vacation and an affordable, magical experience often comes down to having the right expertise on your side."
