Disney is not immune to inflation however the markup on everything in WDW is huge --in these tough times I would think they could hold off on price increases and still make a decent profit. Which proves Disney cares not for their guests but is beholding to the stockholders
Maybe because they had such a head start, WDW has been outpacing inflation for years with everything from park tickets prices to soft pretzels. They don't need to do this.
This! I love Disney but after pricing a trip to Europe, the price I spent on a week Disney vacation to the All Stars resort with a 5 day ticket taking the bus there since I’m only a couple of hours away, was the same price as flying to London for a few days, then taking the train to Paris for a few days and spending a few days at Disneyland Paris.
To be fair, I've never received a burger at a fast food joint that looked anything remotely like the picture
Walmart And Target Just Put Long-Term Customer Loyalty Over Short-Term Profits
Despite inflation and supply-chain woes, retail giants say they are putting long-term customer loyalty ahead of quick profits.www.forbes.com
In their most recent earnings calls with investors and analysts, the two bellwether businesses said that they would not raise prices to compensate for higher supply chain-related costs and pre-inventory purchases.
Walmart even went so far as to tell investors that its competitive “price gap” was larger than normal, but that it wouldn’t take advantage of the opportunity to increase prices more than necessary.
So not ALL companies are raising prices and are actually thinking about who the customer is and don't want to lose them
You know you’re trash when Walmart of all places have shown more appreciating for their customers than you.
If you are talking McDonalds level fast food you are correct but I have been to fast food places that the pictures do look like what is served. What was posted was not fast food for $16.99 You can't defend Disney on this oneTo be fair, I've never received a burger at a fast food joint that looked anything remotely like the picture
It's fast food. Don't let the price tag fool ya.
The point wasn’t that it didn’t look exactly like the picture. I know that product photos for pretty much everything are enhanced. The point was that there wasn’t even half the amount of lobster on the roll as was shown - or compared to what I’ve received when I’ve ordered it numerous times in the past, for a higher price than in the past.To be fair, I've never received a burger at a fast food joint that looked anything remotely like the picture
This sort of complaining is ridiculous. Disney is helping you with portion control and maintaining a healthy weight. You should be thanking them and their brilliant CFO.
Exactly, and I wouldn’t have ordered it if it hadn’t been worth the (albeit lower) price in the past, and close to what was advertised. My husband picked up the food we had mobile-ordered, and my son and I got a table upstairs, so by the time we got it and I saw how pathetic it was, there was really no point in going back downstairs and fighting the hordes, just to (likely) be told I couldn’t have another, that’s just how they are.
I agree it looked pretty bad. Just like actual burgers vs the picture burgers and FF restaurants. Difference is this is probably a $5 burger. Disney stuck you with a $17 roll. They should be ashamed.
The largest full service restaurant company in the country raised their prices 2% this past quarter and project 4% over the next year. That’s still nothing compared to what Disney is doing and I don’t think some frozen pre packaged ice cream has seen quite the inflation impact that something like chicken wings is going through.
why do you think people don't?? I ask this because I find this a very interesting observation. usually we see it on the hotel forum, when people say if those that stay on site would only "look" around they would never stay on site again.
They go because its fun. People enjoy it. I find it hard to believe that people go because they think its the only place in the world to vacation. That's pretty ludicrous.
A large amount of regular Disney vacation people are captive and actually do no price out alternative vacations. They have been going for decades and driving down or flying for cheap. Disney packages for a long time were actually a better deal than say the beach from nyc or PA on a shorter drive and a better value than many other tourist areas that were also a long drive or even a cheap flight.
