Snack price increases?
- Thread starter HauntedPirate
- Start date
Being that this thread started about the price increase on ice cream bars i was wondering what the price was for a similar snack up the road at UNI or for a Shamu premium bar ? Just to compare the relevant competition.

Until they forbid you from bringing food into the parks, which at this point I'm sure is on the table.

This plane has sort-of already been broken, with the best section of the amphitheater reserved for those who pay (or use their dining credits) to participate in the "Fantasmic! Dining Package."
That only works if you have transportation to buy food elsewhere.

And at least the food at these are real hand made foods (at least in my part of PA)... I don't care what they charge for halushki and glumpkies and a beer just shut up and take my money! Lol

yes, I know
But I didn't want to delve into that value of a 'dinning package' with people and was hoping they could see this evolution already in play how these 'offerings' are already dividing the regular park experience.

The prices fall in line with what I've paid at other theme parks/sporting events. I think both are expensive. I actually die a little insude when I buy things as Astros games. We typically spend more than the tickets were.
They all know they have you.
They all know they have you.
Except we would be throwing half of it away, so what good is that? Why would we pay for something that we cannot possibly finish?
You absolutely shouldn't.
But you also shouldn't assume that everyone eats the same way you do and hold that out as some sort of price comparison.
We do the same. But if I was was trying to say I could eat at a QS restaurant for $10 for 2 people, I wouldn't omit the meal sharing part of the equation.
You do understand that in order to provide that service nowadays at MK, they would have to cap attendance at 15,000 and charge at least $250 per person per day just to meet costs. Are you willing to pay that? Can you imagine the backlash from the 20,000 resort guests that are irate that they can't get into MK because it's full and no tickets are available? Do you want to be the CM handling that line of people?The point regarding Discovery Cove is.. it highlights how much of this WDW vacation you count on.. planning, special events, direct transit, etc is a CONSEQUENCE of something... not something you would set out to seek if you didn't have to.
Discovery Cove was highlighted because its an example where instead of figuring out how to stuff and timeslice what they have to cycle more people through a fixed commodity, they prioritized a customer service experience and capped sold capacity at a level that maintains the customer experience. It's not that DC is some charity... its that they prioritized an experience. You pay a premium.. but you get a premium experience.
There is no rush to get the best seat.. or rush to find a wet suit.. or need to pre-pay to get your size easily.. because they remove the overcrowding aspect as part of their service.
Plus, the snorkeling there is better than any natural habitat I've ever been in for seeing the creatures
What resort do you own at? We might be interested.
I would assume that if you are spending money on a vacation spot, it's because you enjoy it. Based on your response I guess it's not true for you. Try to lay off the insults and stick to the discussion. I know it's hard for you, but try real hard.
I don't assume that at all. We don't always share either. I was not price comparing, but just mentioning that there are options for people that they may not think about. One of the other options is getting a kids meal. If they try to refuse, tell them that you've had a gastric bypass and can't eat an adult meal. I know of a few people that pretty much always get a kids meal while there, and they have never stated that a CM said no.

A nickle because everything is perfect there.
I didn't omit it. I thought I made it clear in one post that we were sharing part of the meal. If I missed that, sorry, my bad. And you can't eat at a QS for $10 for one, unless you get a kids meal.
You continue to imply that meals at QS locations are of such large portions that families should be splitting meals instead of being offended by the price point. When gas prices rise, do you and your wife share the same vehicle and only fill it with enough gas to reach your destination?
If I were playing a drinking game where I took a shot every time I read one of your posts where you mention all of your up sell experiences, I think I'd get drunk really fast. This post is worth 2 shots: brag brag.

The only time I ever had a Mickey bar was when they were included at the "Feel the Force" premium package at the parade viewing. So basically I only get them if they are part of an up-sale event. Otherwise to me they are a waste at any price. On man's trash is another man's snack....basically they just are not that good.
