I agree for the cost of food items at Disney, that definitely plays a role. As far as the Orcas, I think we can safely leave them alone for this one. Marie

Our last trip we brought snacks into the park and water --filled them as we needed. We drove so I had a yeti cooler filled with soda juice, water, fruit and other things which we ate in the resort.

Not really. Granted these are NYC Prices and for a very high end steakhouse but take a look here: https://www.smithandwollenskynyc.com/menu/
And then by Comparison look here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/le-cellier-steakhouse/menus/dinner/
I am comparing the Filet Mignon specifically at dinner for both. Not too much of a difference. Marie

Two problems with that:
1. Why do you want it that way?
2. You know what Disney would do if they see that catching on? You can’t fight city hall on this kinda move

The difference is the prep and quality...and no princesses...

Well I don't live in NYC, I live in GR, Michigan, where are prices are half that price!
eta: It's all in perspective of where you live.
1) More $$ to spend on merchandise, 2) Disney catching on? , they are not that innocent, and don't do a thing.

Just speaking to pricing, nothing else at this time.
Absolutely true. I do live in NYC so the prices aren't shocking to me but are certainly not your average Friday night out with the girlfriends either. Just pointing out that the pricing isn't out of the range. Quality and prep are a whole other conversation as well.

They don't. BUT...if enough people start bringing outside food into the restaurants, which is a flat-out no-no at anyplace other than a Disney park...they most certainly will start reacting. More than likely by banning outside food, which would be bad for everyone.
That's really a huge stretch of wishful thinking in Disney to start reacting. It's not the real world. It's Disney world.

No, it really isn't. One person doing it in a full restaurant might not be noticed. 10 people? You can bet Disney would notice, and they wouldn't like people bringing in outside food and displacing customers who bought food at that location. There's a reason outside food isn't allowed at restaurants in the real world - and Disney isn't the fool you're making them out to be. As we've seen the last few years, Disney is all about squeezing every last dime out of it's "guests", so for you to assume they wouldn't mind what you're doing is very foolish. They just haven't noticed yet.

They legit added parking fees to the resorts like 6 months ago BECAUSE the real world was doing it.
Foolish to you. Money management to me. Been going to Disney 30 years. Been seeing it since first visit. I will be dropping several hundred $$ on merchandise later in the vacation. Disney has not noticed? Still wishful thinking on your part. Order some sodas, bring in own food, call it a day.

Keep telling yourself that. When they catch on and ban outside food, you can thank yourself.
And what does this have to do with bringing your own food into the park?
I will win the lottery before that happens.

@LSLS is saying that your "it's not the real world, it's Disney World" doesn't hold water because Disney is actively adopting policies of resorts that exist in the real world.I will win the lottery before that happens.
In direct response to you...not likely. Disney has been showing us more and more that guest experience doesn't matter one iota if they are able to increase the bottom line. Those stocks you like to brag about owning so much? Stockholders and the board of directors are EXACTLY why we're seeing exorbitant price hikes across the board. I would think those stocks you own would enable you to afford to actually buy food at the restaurants you choose to dine in.

You said this was Disney, not the real world. Disney has been changing policies to reflect the real world. If they determine enough profit loss by food being brought in, they of course will make changes.
