Fountain & Bottled Drink, Popcorn, Pretzel, and Other Snack Item Prices Exponentially

[joshwill]

I assume this is still true but anywhere they sell fountain drinks you can ask for a cup of ice water for free. This helps in carrying the large load and staying safely hydrated!

cup charge coming next...

So folks were wondering how the wage increases were going to be paid for? Wonder no longer, this is the first.

I know! If only we could decrease CM wages, then Disney gets to maintain growing profit margins and us guests can enjoy slightly less over-priced sodas. Everybody wins!

I am not surprised. I guess Disney is enouraging people to get the dining plan or the free dining plan.

The snack and drink prices are out of control if you are not on the dining planning.

There is an amusement park in the state I live in that sells large Soda for $1.50. Cotton Candy for $2.00, Popcorn $1.25, and Family Sized Popcorn for $3.75. Those price are much cheaper than Disney is offering for their theme parks. Here is proof of prices of Soda, Cotton Candy, and Popcorn at the amusement I am referring to: https://greenbaywi.gov/720/Concessions

Soda is not good for you. Water is and a cup of ice water is still $0.00.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

What does that even mean?

I’m jabbing you because you said you “might” get ticked...that’s funny

Anyone live in a city with a soda tax?

 

[fngoofy]

$5 at the civic center near my house for water

We went to the traveling Marvel stunt show a couple of weeks ago. At the Sprint Center it was $4 for a water and they took the cap, wouldn't let me close the water ever again.

Looks like prices are increasing a lot...according to Twitter:

Regular Drinks: $3.29 > $3.99

Large Drinks: $3.79 >$4.49

Bottled Soads: $4 > $4.50

Mickey pretzel $6 > $7

Ice Cream: $5 > $5.75

Frozen bannas $5.75

Churros: $6.25

That word doesnt mean what you think it does

Did anyone really think that Disney was just going to eat the cost?

Bloomberg priced me out

And once again Disney fandom proves to be a special kind of stupid.

Customers who'll defend to the death paying more for less because they are that emotionally beholden to a brand. TWDC shareholders don't love you back, you know.

Why didn't you tip TWDC an extra dollar for every snack and soda you bought yesterday if you thought prices were too low?

 

[networkpro]

I wouldn't count on that. They almost have to get an AP price increase in at least 12 months prior to SW:GE opening.

Gosh, and people thought I was going off the deep end when Mickey ice cream bars went from $3.75 to $5... I guess I should be bowing to Disney for not increasing prices a commensurate amount this time?

And all the "well, the prices at NFL games are..." and "Movie theater prices are..." are NOT VALID COMPARISONS. End of discussion.

Blended per customer income vs expenditures (Capex and opex) that's the measuring stick. It's still a business and ROI is a valid expectation for a public company.

Why is that people have to be so rude when we don't exactly attack Disney every time they do something you don't agree with.

 

[reptar77]

The prices except the churro really don't surprise me. Thank goodness for instacart.

I'm glad you've found this as a form of therapy. It's a market economy and you are free to substitute any other form of recreation in lieu of Disney (world,land,adventure, etc). Economically, Disney doesn't fit into some families budget. In others it's not even a blip.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

They read all the comments here saying ballparks and amusement parks were charging more.

Wake me when alcohol goes up.

 

[Squishy]

Welcome to Disney! The more money you give us, The more things we cut from our parks.

 

[deeevo]

They have some danged good churros.

Do they have Rum in the middle?

 

[Lou Filerman]

Good. Maybe this will now drive people alway so it’s more fun for me when I go. Bring your water in and book when you get free dining and snacks...it’s that simple.
