we do love a good up-sell opportunity. Think of all the prime locations that can be tied to a meal option. Holly bonuses Batman. Itll be popular no doubt look at the Fantasmic option despite the mince seats.

The charge for toilet use looks less amusing by the week.

I guess at least $45 is reasonable for a 3 course meal considering the menu prices?

And now we know what the next money making schemes will be: dining packages for parades too.

Reheated frozen food and a 44 year old parade? What a deal!

Another up-charge for something you used to could do for the price of regular admission, food package or not.

What next?

What next?

a train dining package?

This is just so dumb.

For lunch, and then a parade 8+ hours later? I know some will say "don't participate and it doesn't affect you", but reserving prime viewing locations eventually affects us all.

What happens when Disney finally runs out of new upcharge events?

 

[Andrew C]

just get free dining and use a dining credit....

What happens when Disney finally runs out of new upcharge events?

We'll find out soon enough

Wow. Terrible food, exorbitant prices, and a barely functional parade from the Nixon administration. They're really firing on all cylinders now, aren't they!

Sounds like a joke, but sadly this is really what WDW is offering these days. Depressing.

I could be crazy, but could this be a hint to the fate of MSEP? There's a little bit of talk in the upcoming projects thread about PTN. It's just rumor for now, but why all of the sudden start a dining package for MSEP?????

 

[Lirael]

I guess they reasoned that if people are willing to pay dining packages to see Jungle Book: Another Magical Disappointment, anything goes.

how much would a 3 course meal cost at Tony's outside of this package? Probably around the same I would imagine.

Honestly, this is pretty much the only TS restaurant I have been to where I did not enjoy my meal...so I would never buy a 3 course meal there anyways...package or not.

Because it can make money and fill an awful restaurant. I wouldn't look into it any more than that. Now if this money was going to a replacement for MSEP, I might be able to support this, although not by actually participating!

Thanks MyMagic! I could see this being rolled out in more places - it can't be long before there's a Liberty Tree package similar to the Tony's one, too, with a meal and a reserved parade spot.

We should set up a sweepstake or suggestion thread for what next week's upcharge in the Year of A Million Upcharges might be.

Here's an idea they can have for free: I'm thinking 'Belle and Breakfast', for $50 you get a breakfast entree and drink at Be Our Guest, with an anytime FastPass for Enchanted Tales With Belle.

I wouldn't buy this unless MSEP starts at Splash. There's no plan for that, correct?
