I can count on one hand the number of meals I've had at Disney, quick service or table service, that I felt were improperly sized in either direction.

Salads have already gotten noticeably smaller…

That’s actually fair if prices fall (and they won’t). No one really needs a typical Whispering Canyon meal.

Just another chapter in the ongoing saga of "Disney Diminished". Will it ever end?

I think there are definitely some plates at some locations that can be scaled down, especially family style meals. Still all you can eat, but bring smaller portions to reduce waste.

I'm fine with smaller portions if prices come down slightly. Doubt they'll get cheaper at best it'll stay the same. Some places have way too big of portions.

Prices will continue to rise as they always do, so don't expect to see any savings pass onto guests. It will be a case of pay more and get less.

Smaller portions for table service are fair, but that should also come with a price decrease. Which it won’t.

Exactly. Nothing ever gets cheaper with disney. Just meant I wouldn't get mad until they cut the portions and raise the prices.

You know that’s the plan…I’m honestly disgusted. The hubris behind this statement is outrageous. Starting to sound like the lawyer in Jurassic Park. Anyone know a guy with a t-rex?

Pfft, please....

Yeah, the CFO does appear to have an unhealthy BMI

 

[dreday3]

That line was so crass - "Be good for some peoples waistlines"

I just don't see this going well if social media catches on to that statement...

To me the obvious answer here is to cut back the number of Family-Style, All-You-Care-to-Eat dining options that seemed to proliferate in the pandemic.

You won't have to walk outside when they roll out express transportation in the Utilidors , for just a low low price of 29.95 per guest per day. Free garbage smells are included.

I hate this model anyway. I know I should not and aren’t even capable of eating ~$55 worth of food in one sitting. Space 220 or other truly high end restaurants can sort of get my head wrapped around it for a special occasion or just to at least experience once every few years, but that is definitely an exception.

Oprah did a program segment years ago when she was given a private tour of this cast area. It looked good.

It’s an AWFUL message. As someone who has struggled with diet and exercise in the past and probably had an undiagnosed eating disorder in college, honestly, f-her. You don’t say crap like that while hiring a Black Santa to show how inclusive you are.

Current management are inauthentic pieces of human trash.

For the record, I try to make healthy choices at home so I can then eat what I want on vacation. If I’m full, I’m a big boy and can stop eating. If I’m hungrier that day, I’ll eat. I paid for it. I don’t need some blowhard in corporate making the decision for me. If she was really concerned over my health, she would ensure that restaurants had more healthy sides available for adults instead of fries and she’d push for bigger, more filling salads.
