Anywho... what's the over/under on the per-day DDP price increase when it's reintroduced? $5/day? $10/day?

News Disney hikes the price of Mickey Bars and Dole Whip along with hundreds of other food and beverage items at Walt Disney World

You know what takes the sting out of the price of Mickey bars? Tubs of delicious Blue Bell ice cream.

What you see in store and even that image is likely a phone in a custom case.Aside from whether I think it is appropriate for a CM to be on a cell phone or not, that is a cell phone. Not one of the small thick black store scanning devices you see in Target or Wal-Mart.

I'll simplify it to DDP is Over.

The image may be cropped poorly for purposes of this conversation. I'll give you that. No, of course games and personal data aren't on a work device. That's not my point. If I'm coming off of SDD and I see a CM at that beverage/snack cart on the corner of the walkway there nose deep in a device, it's a bad look. Maybe they need more frozen bananas, IDK. With the simplicity of it, said CM could just as easily say "Hey Mickey (or whatever "wake up" phrase), tell backstage I need ..." Then whatever response is auto-read in their ear and voila. It's a small thing, and it's not like it ruins the guests' day, but it's those little things that add up to the stellar experience that used to set Disney Parks apart.
Nobody would have guessed it.

I'd wager more like $5-10 per meal entitlement. Plus a couple bucks on the snacks. Plus the refillable mug program will be "plussed." For the standard DDP, I wouldn't be shocked at $20/adult/day. And a Disney "adult" moving to 8 instead of 10.

A 10 to 20 year old "adult" is the biggest scam going and I'm pretty surprised that Disney weren't in more of a hurry to get it back online. When they added alcohol to the DDP (with the corresponding price increase), getting and *drinking* an alcoholic beverage at every meal pretty much became mandatory if you wanted to get value out of it.

It’s hard to tell what’s happening from a photo, she was probably asking for more stock not dinking around. We used to use radios but they were hard to hear anything on, the iPhones are much more efficient.

Just not understanding the pain in people's wallets here. Food prices are increasing all over, not just in theme parks but in grocery stores.
Most of these increases are on junk food items that should never be classified as food.

This photo is truly a sign of the times; crazy prices and hand held devices. “Hey Doc., we are NOT in 1955 anymore”. Opps that was the wrong IP reference for this theme park!
BTW, almost sure soft drinks are less expensive in Universal…
