Price Hikes Galore! (Genie+ variable pricing, ILL, refillable mugs, SWGE lightsaber and droids)

[mightynine]

Really? Because Disney is immune to what is causing price increases in every other sector?

The company has a history of raising prices that well outpaces the rate of inflation.

The Disney Defense Force will need another talking point on this one, sorry.

I find my trips more relaxing now than FP+ days. No Genie for us. We show up early, enjoy short waits, and then go swim.

As for all these increases, QUICK! Roll-out the Hatbox Ghost!

I mean, you can't be surprised by food/beverage increase. Any purchasable good really.

Have you been shopping lately? It's out of control. Everywhere, everything. I literally hear people almost yelling out loud in the grocery store at the prices, every time we shop.

Did anyone really think Disney would be immune?

I just checked the McDonald's app.

A McDouble is $3.29. A Big Mac is $6.99. Not for the meal, for the sandwich.

The price increases are only a surprise if you haven't been paying attention. This has happened around November for several years. Maybe it's my occasional diversion of tracking ticket prices that helps, but this was predicted and predictable.

going early when park opens has always been the "answer" buy using people's complaints about having to wake early to book a genie its the same logic getting to parks at rope drop is truly not an option id say for a good portion of people that visit just like when parks were open late staying there wasnt an option for all either...

"Oh yeah? We can price comparable things higher than that!"

seems to be the way of the company as of late

You know why? Because Disney's annual gross profit at the end of June 2022 was $28 billion. BILLION. Their annual gross profit in 2021 was $22 billion. CM's still don't make a living wage, things are being cut left and right, maintenance is non-existent, prices of everything (resorts, food, merch, tickets) are continually increasing.

WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?

When the consumer says it is.

The Ronto Wraps at Ronto Roasters in GE have survived another round of price increase yet again.

The regular and breakfast version were priced at 12.99 and 12.49 respectively back in 2019 and are still to this day.

It won't because the message is clear; you either pay for Genie+, or you're vacation will be awful.

And because everyone is paying for this with credit cards, marginal increases like $5-$7/person/day won't make a difference.

This is true - Genie+ is Disney’s magical little blackmail fee.

Anyone know if the price of these went up?

Mickey Ice Cream bar (was $6.25)
Bottle of Coke (was $5)

One Bacon McDouble at my local McD's in MN is $3.59.

Mickey bar surprisingly has not yet gone up.

Thank you, sir! They tend to be one of my pricing barometers. Sadly, the price increases have reduced the number I enjoy on each trip.

Interchangeable. Since, you know, both had to have their ego sign on Castaway Cay...

Now now, I've made two complaints about Disney today. That's a record for me I think.

(just not about yearly price increases. nobody likes when a price increases)

Bosh?

They’ve waited too long to announce Fantasmic today. The only option to end this anger is to move the parks to the next holiday overnight. Yes, we need a little
