Great spot. Its amazing how far the variable pricing model can stretch.

Indeed. I'm looking forward to variable price Mickey bars.

Soon, Plaza sundaes will cost $8 at 10 am and $17 at 6 pm.

Better grab your hotdog and store it in your pocket for later before it goes up to $22 at 11:42 am!

Nope, next it’ll be yet another parking increase…just like in sports, the closer you are to the gates, the more expensive the parking…they will divide the lots and charge accordingly…wait, it’s coming…convenience = expense.

Market rates for ice cream is next.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Pay toilets…the higher the temperature, the more expensive the drinks…add more salt to the foods…(put that salt mine at Tiana’s to good use)…the hits just keep on comin’…

Variable priced Air Conditioning coming next. Enjoy the heat peasants.

Well Josh is in the boiler room yanking on levers.

I think they already have a preferred parking rate

Yes, but every lot will have a different price.

I’m glad you said levers

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Yes, but every lot will have a different price.

Every spot - based on distance to the trams .... Which will also now have a fee

Good news is the tram fee will be waived for deluxe guests (mid week only)

You're welcome

Yup, God forbid if you had to save so much money to pay for parking spaces that you had to stay in a value instead of a deluxe…

Demand usually drives pricing. Disney is busy re-inventing economics with their new model, where pricing will drive demand... downward.

While I hate to defend Disney price increases, haven't the VIP tours always been variable pricing? Why should the others be any different?

VIP makes sense. You are bypassing longer lines when it is more crowded.

If Everest has an 80-minute wait, that has no impact on the Wild Africa Trek. They’re just charging more because they can.

That's been going on since 1971. ( ie lunch and dinner prices )
