Touring Plans have also reported on it

I really don't see the value in paying for the DDP anymore. It seems worthwhile to me as part of the UK free dining package offer, but its no longer worth the cash value of the plan.

In just the past few weeks, we've seen park ticket increases, dining plan increases, and also an end to bringing outside food into the parks. Just wondering, what's next?

Really? That's going to really suck for us. That's how the kids get by without asking us to buy random snacks.

I determined a few years back that the DDP did not work out number wise for me. Most years I lost money and one or two times I came out ahead, but as a friend pointed out the DDP changed the way I usually dined. I am not a dessert person, so would take the dessert 'to go' and then ended up taking most of them home for someone to enjoy after my trip.
Even Tables in Wonderland - which worked much better for me - has seen a hefty increase. The first time I used it was about 4 years ago and it cost me $75. I just renewed it last month and the cost was $150.
These price increases are getting out of sight - at some point soon I may just say this is absurd and decide to make Disney a once every few year destination.

Heading for the great escape.
As someone who doesn't live on chicken nuggets, mac n cheese and fries, I gave up on Disney's Declining Dinner Plan years ago. Far better food at a far lower price can be obtained outside the rodents nest.

I saw he posted yesterday that all Character Buffet lunches are priced the same as Dinner now. Akershus went from $49 to $58. He gave an example of of a family of four (2 adults, 13 year old and 7 year old) and how lunch would now cost $243.80 w/tax & 18% tip. It was ridiculous before but now it's just getting obscene.

Price increases on top or price increases. Its frustrating. Some people want to work 51 weeks a year in misery to go to Disney for the other week. Disney should embrace them, not push them away with large price increases. If they were smart they would find a way to let them just lock in for years on end and give them a break on price increases somehow.
ok... is it just me or are they raising prices of EVERYTHING across the board (resorts, food, tickets, etc.) - which ends up costing the average family much more than before because increases are in everything. It would make more sense to stagger these things a little better... but people are still gonna come... so.... ugh....
