Food price increase? October 2023

[GhostHost1000]

At least they didn’t announce per kernel pricing for popcorn.

That comes right after the per sprinkle pricing on a new cupcake

Bring a six pack of Krispy Kreme glazed through the security bag check line and it will taste better than a parks cupcake.

Still waiting for dynamic pricing on all food

70 degrees out? Mickey bars are $5 .... 95 degrees out? Make that $8

Disney did do a good deed. When the Frozen ride opened up several years ago at Epcot, the wait time the first day was 300 minutes. Cast gave out Mickey Bars so the guests would not melt in the heat.

I think they already do dynamic pricing at some sit down restaurants. Fixed prices are higher at peak times of the year.

But would they also announce the popping surcharge, or hold off on that until 2024?

I know there used to be seasonal pricing at some popular restaurants, but I'm not sure if that is still in effect.

Not surprised.... Still think IF you drink those are decent value - we did the Rose and Crown one for Illuminations and totally thought it was worth it - but we got like 4 or 5 days inks during our time there .... If you don't drink and/or have kids who are under 21 but "Disney adults" makes it not really great

I don't think so currently - though they just announced starting it for dessert parties so maybe it will come back (though then would likely need to do dynamic pricing for the dining plan otherwise the value of it changes depending when you go)

Update:
Drinks with ice now carry a $.50 refrigeration surcharge.
Drinks without ice now carry a $.50 service charge for ice removal.
Hot Drinks now carry a $.50 heating surcharge.

There’s probably a charge now for even thinking about a drink

They only pop if you buy Genie + and schedule a popping return window.

Baseline taphouse 22oz beers are now 20oz and I think the price went up as well. Thry used to be some of the best value beers in the parks. Sad times

I remember it was almost universally the buffet restaurants; they would not post a price in MDE and would have a card at the host stand with the price at that time. I have not done any of those in probably..... 6 or 7 years?

Could do time of day based pricing too... want a popcorn first thing in the morning $5... want a popcorn right before Fantasmic starts? $8..

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and portions at WDW - especially at resort quick service restaurants. Port Orleans, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Polynesian, and Caribbean Beach.

Glad I got in before the price hikes but seems like the norm now. I’m sure tickets will follow soon. Tis the season and all.

Food at Disney Springs and most of the resort hotels is typically better and less expensive than what is at QS in the parks.
