Precisely! When people say thanks but no thanks and go somewhere else to get their amusement park fix. Until there is an impact to the bottom-line Disney management will not care.When the consumer says it is.

Also CT. Our Bacon McDouble is $4.49 for one.here in CT its 2 bacon mcdoubles for 3.99 and we are expensive...not sure where you are looking...NYC?
Today at LIDL I got: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?
Today at LIDL I got:
gallon skim milk $1.84
can beans each $0.58
dozen "cage" free eggs $3.29
12 grain bread loaf $2.09
dark chocolate bar $1.00
avocado salad kit just because $3.79
etc
I mean not too bad, but I understand it's been a little nuts in other stores.
You are living in the wrong place.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.
Enough is never enough. America. Capitalism. Blah blah blah. Your choice is to partake of their business or not, and not to tell them what they can charge because you think it's "enough." I guarantee you they had some making up to do in the profit department after covid and after significant wage increases, whether or not they meet your arbitrary standard. They still went up and that has to be paid for.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?
$6.25? Wow, that Halloween party a couple of years ago was an even better value than I thought!Anyone know if the price of these went up?
Mickey Ice Cream bar (was $6.25)
Bottle of Coke (was $5)

At this rate, they're going to need digital displays for the pricing at food carts just to keep up with the way things change.Bottled water is up $.25, Fountain drinks are up $.30 and many food prices have gone up. Pricing at some restaurants like Tusker House are up $4 for adults and $2 for kids.
Which includes you too.This is how the real world works, not what everyone on the internet "thinks" it "should" be.

Yes - dont give Disney a challenge to out price them! They are the champs!"Oh yeah? We can price comparable things higher than that!"
As i said yesterday. We been hearing doomsday comments for how long now? Everyone has been wrong for a longggg time now. Eventually it may happen… eventually and if that day comes noone can say I told you so when they been preaching this for years and have bee wrong for so long…Which includes you too.
What you fail to account for is that the real revenue generating part of The Walt Disney Company is Parks and Resorts, definitely not streaming or studios. Parks and Resorts is at the end of the day a hospitality segment. Their product is reliant on happy and repeat guests. They are the backstop against the looming land mine that is Disney +.
How sustainable do you think this is? At what point do you does it all collapse down upon itself?
We have "make good" park hopper passes and had pre-booked DVCs to follow our cruise in the spring. We've since cancelled the cruise, are keeping the DVC reservation, and vacationing elsewhere in lieu of the cruise. We're using our free park hoppers for that trip and no other plans on the horizon.We have already decided not to go back to WDW in 2023.
Disneyland ticket prices up big…is that confirmed?
I want to make it very clear ~ I am not priced out. I can easily pay the increased prices, if I wanted to. The difference is, I don't want to any longer.For every family that says enough us enough, there is 10 families who just up their credit limit and keep swiping....until that changes this greed and "pay more get less" Moto of the current short sited, one dimensional and talentless exec board won't stop this current path.
It's the sad heartbreaking reality of the company that shaped the best memories of my life growing up
We went further.... transferred our 270 point DVC contract to our dear children (who seemed to want this), and selling our 30 point early next year.We have already decided not to go back to WDW in 2023.

Oh…you are very wrong there.Let me know when the great predicted slide begins.
Better yet, let me know when the slide begins, they offer a discounted ticket, and it doesn't work.
There are miles and miles of wiggle room. They haven't even hit the ceiling yet.
