Disney Raises Prices on Hundreds of Menu Items at Disneyland Resort
Disney has increased menu prices on hundreds (if not thousands) of food & drinks at Disneyland, DCA, resort hotels, and Downtown Disney as of Summer 2025. This includes counter & table service restaurants, snack stands and bars–on everything from entrees to desserts to snacks, bottled beverages, alcohol & more. This post shares a sampling of the price hikes, plus our commentary.
Disneyland typically raises prices on restaurant menus once or twice per year. The big increase usually occurs shortly after the start of the Walt Disney Company’s new fiscal year. Our expectation is that prices will go up around October 8, 2025 on park tickets, Lightning Lanes, Magic Keys, and more. That’s the big annual increase.
In the meantime, we’re seeing almost across-the-board menu price increases at Disneyland Resort a few months before the new fiscal year. Why this is happening now is anyone’s guess. Perhaps Disney is trying to offset the lower crowds we’ve observed at Disneyland Resort over the last couple of months? Maybe it’s simply a matter of getting out ahead of the Halloween and Christmas seasons, which are right around the corner in a few weeks.
Here’s a rundown of common items that have increased in price, and by how much:
- Popcorn (various locations) – Increased from $6 from $6.50
- Chicken Tenders (various locations) – Increased from $11.99 to $13.49
- Dole Whip (various locations & flavors) – Increased from $6.49 to $7.29
- Dole Whip Float (various locations & flavors) – Increased from $7.49 to $7.99
- Fountain Drinks (various locations) – Increased from $5.29 to $5.69
- Freshly Brewed Joffrey’s Coffee (various locations) – Increased from $4.29 to $4.79
- Turkey Leg (various locations) – Increased from $12.99 to $14.49
- DASANI Bottled Water – Increased from $4.39 to $4.79
- Pickles – Increased from $4.49 to $4.79
- Plaza Inn Fried Chicken – Increased from $19.99 to $21.99
- Fantasyland Garlic Cheesy Brat (Edelweiss Snacks) Increased from $12.99 to $13.79
This should give you a rough idea of what the price increases look like at counter service restaurants, food courts, and outdoor vending carts (ODVs). This is just a small sampling of prices that have increased–we tried to emphasize items that can be found on a variety of menus, plus a couple personal favorites.
With that said, plenty of specific fan-favorite items have also increased, such as Cold Brew Black Caf and Felucian Kefta Garden Spread in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, along with pretty much every entree at Hungry Bear BBQ, Smokejumpers Grill, Red Rose Taverne, and more.
On the table service front, it’s a similar story with most entrees around Disneyland Resort. Several fan-favorite restaurants, including Blue Bayou, Lamplight Lounge, Carthay Circle, Cafe Orleans, Carnation Cafe, and our beloved GCH Craftsman Bar & Grill were all hit by $1 to $4 entree price increases.
Alcohol is a similar story, with higher prices everywhere from Trader Sam’s to Napa Rose to Oga’s Cantina to Wine Country Trattoria. Pretty much everywhere we’ve spot-checked has higher prices on something–or most things.
In other posts, we’ve already discussed the seasonal price increases on the character dining experiences in the Hotels of Disneyland Resort, which have absolutely exploded in the last couple of years. Joining these higher prices for the base Halloween and Christmas experiences at Storytellers Cafe and Goofy’s Kitchen are drinks, which have also increased at those restaurants.
Then there are the World of Color and Fantasmic dining packages. The former have shot up by $5 to $6, whereas the latter are up anywhere between $3 and $10. These were all already overpriced before, and are now in obscene territory.
This is especially notable because it’s happening at a time when regular viewing for all of these shows is less competitive than a couple years ago. Meaning that you really don’t need reserved viewing for World of Color or Fantasmic anymore (at least, not most dates).
I have some “complicated” feelings about price increases on food.
Some things don’t bother me in the least. The price of bottled water could increase to $33,000 and I wouldn’t care. I mean, I’d probably say, “wow that’s aggressive, even for Disney” but I wouldn’t necessarily be upset about it given the abundance of free drinking fountains and cups of water. My feelings on spending any amount of money, whether that be $3 or $33k, on bottled water are fairly similar.
This probably won’t win me many friends, but frankly, I feel the same way about alcohol. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against it in the parks. But I also don’t mind family-friendly theme parks charging sky-high prices on booze to discourage overindulgence. Disney charging a “convenience tax” on all of this stuff–ODV impulse buys, booze, bottled beverages–that theoretically subsidizes lower prices on staples at counter service restaurants does not bother me in the least.
The problem is, that’s not what’s happening here. We’re still seeing lower prices on counter service entrees at Walt Disney World (for now?) despite that convenience tax on bottled drinks (etc.), but menu prices are up across the board at Disneyland.
Disneyland is also raising prices on counter service restaurant staples. Even though I’d also never order chicken tenders, I do take issue with the price going up on those; they are a crowd pleaser that many guests stretching their vacation budgets rely on to feed their families.
Things like that–that are filling and fairly priced are precisely what I don’t want to see go up in price. I’d prefer much higher prices on indulgences or impulse buys and holding the staples steady. It’s not just chicken tenders, either. There are a lot of stereotypical theme park dishes that were around $11 to $14 that are now $13 to $16. That may not seem like a huge difference, but it all adds up. That’s especially true if a day at Disneyland is a splurge for these families in the first place.
What’s possibly most interesting is that some of the biggest increases are found at experiences–things like the nighttime spectacular dining packages and character dining.
I can only assume this is because these things skew towards tourists, who are typically free spending and are driven by the FOMO machine to a greater degree than locals. Perhaps the thinking here is that guests who won’t balk at a $2 price increase also won’t be discouraged by $4 to $10.
I wonder whether this is a miscalculation. As I’ve mentioned in other posts about character dining, it used to be the case that Storytellers Cafe regularly had a massive morning crowd loitering outside the restaurant, blocking the pathway that led to the parks. I haven’t noticed that in a while.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Disneyland has already seen a downtick in demand for character dining experiences–and nighttime spectacular viewing packages–and is trying to recoup the difference with higher prices. The problem, at least potentially, is that higher prices will further reduce demand. It’s a vicious cycle.
Our own spending on dining at Disneyland has definitely decreased, despite higher prices.
This started with snacks, once more of these started to break the $7 barrier. It spread to counter service restaurants once more of those entrees hit $18 or $19. With both of those, it’s not just the prices–it’s also the portion sizes and quality. I went from having the Plaza Inn Fried Chicken all the time to getting it a couple of times per year; not only was the price significantly higher, but I was paying more and getting less–along with inconsistent quality. (At $22, I’m completely done with it.)
We still enjoy eating at Disneyland, and do a lot of it for the sake of “research.” We also dine in the parks whenever bringing family or friends with us. But when it comes to personal enjoyment, it’s pretty much just the occasional character meal for a special occasion, GCH Craftsman Grill, and a couple of other cost-effective options. We eat more strategically, rather than buying whatever we want, whenever we want (which used to be our approach). For us, it’s not that we can’t afford the meals or snacks–it’s that the value proposition feels off.
To that point, one thing worth underscoring is that even if prices haven’t increased, that doesn’t mean the value proposition has remained the same. By now, you’re probably familiar with the ‘wise words’ of dearly-departed Disney CFO Christine McCarthy who mentioned managing costs on earnings calls: “We can adjust suppliers. We can substitute products…We can look at pricing where necessary. We aren’t going to go just straight across and increase prices.”
This was also the source of her now-infamous line: “We can cut portion sizes, which is probably good for some people’s waistlines.” (Sorry, I know I reference this a lot. I still can’t get over the absurdity of her thinking this was a thing she should say out loud.)
Terms like “skimpflation” and “shrinkflation” have entered our collective vernacular, and Disney has become a poster child for both. Portion sizes have become noticeably smaller in the last couple of years, with quality cuts along with them. We’ve definitely still been hungry when leaving some Disney restaurants. (As much as I love Docking Bay 7, I won’t even eat there anymore after having one too many $19 entrees that left me hungry.)
Of course, our circumstances are somewhat unique in that we’re locals who drive to Disneyland and usually don’t spend the full day in the parks. Moreover, we usually pack food for our daughter, because we’re picky about her nutrition.
It’s easy enough for us to eat a big meal before we head to the parks, pack healthy snacks for ourselves, and then eat on the way home. This doesn’t always work out, which is why we often find ourselves at GCH Craftsman Grill or San Fransokyo, etc.
But these circumstances are only somewhat unique. The bulk of Disneyland guests are locals and repeat visitors, so most guests can do something similar with eating before arriving or after leaving. Not only that, but literally everyone can walk across the street to Harbor Boulevard and be at McDonald’s within a few minutes. (We don’t actively recommend this to infrequent visitors; you vacation time is valuable and there’s something to be said about the experience of dining at Disneyland!)
Speaking of McDonald’s, we can’t help wonder if the trajectory of Disneyland food pricing will change. I know, I know–wishful thinking. But what’s more powerful than the magic of a dream your heart makes, right?! And I wish for lower menu prices.
Even though Disney prices tend to only go in one direction–up–there actually is recent precedent for lowering menu prices. Real world fast food chains have been lowering their prices in the last several months. McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Subway are all offering new, lower-priced value meals.
These chains have reported that budget-conscious consumers aren’t visiting as much, and they’ve responded to this behavior by trying to lure back lost customers with lower prices and better value. Although Walt Disney World restaurants are different than fast food restaurants due to having a captive audience, that’s not nearly as true at Disneyland. And the sentiment about needing to lure back lost consumers rings true, regardless.
Since we’re on the topic of fast food, now seems like as good of a time as any to share that a new In-N-Out Burger has opened in Anaheim! Located just over two miles from Disneyland Resort, the new restaurant is located at 540 N. Euclid Avenue.
The new Anaheim In-N-Out Burger offers a drive-thru lane, indoor seating for 84 people, and a covered patio for 28 patrons. Like other In-N-Out Burger locations, it’s open daily from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. on weekdays, and until 1:30 a.m. on weekends.
We highly recommend rope dropping In-N-Out Burger, or going at between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. We’ve done extensive, ahem, research, and those are the sweet spots for lower crowds. I’d also add that my favorite Anaheim location is still at 1168 S State College Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92806.
What I’d really recommend is going a bit farther, down to Costa Mesa where you can hit up a great In-N-Out Burger, followed by Sidecar Doughnuts, as well as Tokyo Central (Japanese grocery store) and Trader Joe’s. All are easy stops in quick succession if you fly into SNA.
Grab a couple of Animal Style Double Doubles, a dozen doughnuts for breakfasts, and groceries to prepare food in your room so you don’t have to buy as much food at Disneyland.
This is a smart strategy if you’re staying at one of our favorite family hotels that offer partial (or full) kitchens, or really anywhere with a microwave and mini-fridge. Tokyo Central has some great pre-prepared meals; their ramen is way better than it has any right to be (the housemade stuff in the deli that already has broth, not the instant stuff on the shelves).
Ultimately, these price increases probably aren’t make or break on their own in the grand scheme of a day at Disneyland or in the bigger picture of a Souther California vacation costing several hundred to several thousand dollars. But that’s always going to be the case, and the fact of the matter is that it does all add up. At some point, a breaking point is reached. Whether it’s for visiting, period, or trading down from table service to counter service meals, fewer snacks, skipping special dining experiences, etc.

Your Thoughts
What do you think of these price increases at Disneyland? Think this is a natural consequence of inflation, or another example of Disney getting more greedy? Will these price increases impact your plans for future vacations? Do you agree or disagree with our commentary? Think there will be long-term consequences for Disney resulting from its pricing trends the last few years? Any questions we can help you answer? Hearing your feedback–even when you disagree with us–is both interesting to us and helpful to other readers, so please share your thoughts below in the comments!
Last year’s menu increases happened right before our trip. We try and limit ourselves to only one meal in the parks a day and maybe one snack over the course of 3 days. Unfortunately, so many of the restaurants in the area have raised prices to around the same (or even above) the parks. There are still bargains to be found, but you have to be staying on the right side of the resort (Asia Foodie Kitchen on Katella is a gem and Marri’s in the same shopping center is reasonable) or end up like us with the best option when the park closed at 11pm being ordering a few burritos from Del Taco to be delivered. (And that still cost $20 even with a free “first delivery” from Door Dash)
I don’t even want to contemplate how high our food costs will be if and when the next trip is able to happen. On top of all the other price increases.
Double Double Meal -> Sidecar Donuts is a DIABOLICAL meal… SO GOOD.
Tom knows his stuff… those are the absolute local recommendations.
We rarely go out to eat or even get coffee now. We stopped at a Dunk’s in NH a few weeks ago and paid $18+ for two frozen coffees and two donuts. It used to be about $11-12 depending on the location. Last time we were at a NH fish shack on the coast it was $100 for haddock and sea scallops for two. It was about $50-60 or so two years ago.
On our way to WDW in October. We are now down to just one ADR and will buy QS’s and split them. Breakfast at SH71 still looks reasonable. If we go late it counts for “lunch”! Snack sizes were small last year. The pretzels at Norway are 50% of what they were in 2022. That used to be our morning “splitter” snack. We are in a studio villa and have a car, so we’ll load up on fruit and cheese, salads and snacks along with protein bars. We always bring in cold bottles of water or coffee to eliminate at least the early morning purchase. I will spend more time researching prices ahead of our trip rather than just winging it.
We just did a quick fly in Monday-Tuesday (yesterday the 29th) and I bought 2 bottles of (large waters) in Toon Town.
It was $19 and change! I thought the guy was joking but nope.
I never thought to ask for water and we didn’t have any containers any way.
We ate at Goofy’s Kitchen Monday night, 2 adults one kid and one glass of wine.
After DVC discount was $202, pre tip.
We obviously know Disney (mostly Florida) but this all seemed a little higher than normal.
We frequently travel to Disneyland from out of town (although less frequently now due to the price increases). We would often get snacks and eat all our meals in the park. On our last trip, we ordered the street tacos from Rancho del Zocallo, and although they were delicious, we were hungry again 2 hours later due to the tiny portion sizes. We ended up getting snacks on Harbor Boulevard on our way back to the hotel rather than eating in the park due to the outrageous prices and portion sizes.
Interesting take. Real world prices have gone crazy, but Chipotle and McDonald’s are not responding. Chili’s, which has had a renaissance in the last two years, has offered a great burger or chicken sandwich (about the size of three at the Jesus Chicken Shacks) starting at $9.99 with a side and all you can eat chips and salsa. Amazing how quality and price gets people back. In-N-Out is obviously another great example. I still recall a teen at the then new Vegas location telling me he was getting $14 an hour … this was circa 2000-01. In other words, you can pay living wages, offer a quality product and still make a crapload of money.
Worried about our fall visit to Anaheim because the prices I saw before these increases were all insane. And Plaza Inn looked like one old favorite that hadn’t raised prices much at all. But if you won’t dine there …
Disney reaps what it sows. Next time you’re on a ‘research’ visit to EPCOT take a look at what goes on at Creations or Sunshine Seasons (whatever the Land food court is currently called) or Regal Eagle BBQ. The amount of people stealing Coke (includes me, proudly!) is stunning. Probably 80% of people either ask for water cups and fill them with fountain drinks and walk away or simply fill their own hotel mugs and other personal bottle. $5.69 for a Coke at DL? Why not just make it $9.99? Of course, it they charged $3.39, probably 85% of the people just taking it would actually pay. When you feel you’re being screwed, human nature takes over and the CMs often encourage it. A few years ago I was stunned by how small the Citrus Swirls had become at WDW’s MK all with what seemed like a 30% price increase. The CM agreed with me. She promptly gave me four for the price of two.
You can’t keep charging more and offering less (which is what Iger, Chapek, Iger, D’Amaro and Co) do and not expect it to bite you in the backside.
I did just book a brunch at Paseo as it looks good, is new (to us) and the prices only seem moderate, not insane. We were going to do a character meal at Storytellers and then saw the prices and the lackluster cafeteria offerings and thought ‘we could do In-N-Out or Del Taco’ instead. Easy call.
I think only seeing alcohol as an indulgence and not the Disney Parks vacation experience as one can set unrealistic expectations for a place most people visit only a few times in their whole childhood. And I’m from Cali.
I used to feel the same way about Vegas, then I realized that they kept increasing their prices on the strip because they were targeting a small segment of wealthy consumers – which I no longer belonged to. And since I wasn’t interested in the Downtown experience, I’ve passed on it for the last three years. I got the memories, but the experience no longer justifies the cost.
Disney is probably doing the same. It’s just that now you have a child you’re probably feeling it for the first time.
The only problem with this business model is that if the upcoming generation has no positive experience with a product as kids, they’re unlikely to want to pay for it as adults.
I think the same thing is true for young adults and vegas.
Good for you Tom for not using drive-throughs! Drive-throughs create air (and noise and light) pollution, add global warming gases to our already dangerously warming atmosphere, waste gas, and idling is bad for engines. There are many more problems with drive-throughs that can be found with a quick online search. Drive-throughs – just say NO!
See co2coalition.org for the real scientific truth on so-called global warming & stop believing the doomsayers. You’ll feel a lot better.
The streets in the Florida Keys now flood dozens of times a year due to extreme high tides in a way that simply didn’t happen 36 years ago when I moved here. South Florida coastal cities are spending millions to raise road beds because of this. Pretending like this isn’t happening may, indeed, make you feel better, but has zero effect on reality.
Americans don’t care about price increases. The nation collectively chose to eliminate its cheap labor force, while simultaneously placing massive taxes on imported goods. That’s not something you do if you actually care about prices. Give the people what they want!
Such an uneducated comment. That is your opinion, but does not match the thoughts of the average American.
Apologies. It might not be the thoughts of the average American, but it was for enough of them that, sadly, that’s what happened. Thanks for the correction!
My local McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King have raised prices for the same meals. While costs have come down for … coffee, without random coupons I’ve only seen them come down through shrinking portion sizes, quantities, and quality. For crying out loud, I’m even comparing physical menu prices to order prices just to make sure I’m not getting a bad deal.
Maybe West Coast is the best coast for actually seeing discounts, or Tom’s just not eating as poorly as I am, but what I see in basic fast food is the Kohl’s cash model, with random discounts and gamified points for frequent guests. I don’t like it for the same reasons, but that appears to be what’s happening. (Dumb prediction: expect some sort of complicated frequent diner program with points, or you’re all going to be subsidizing my cheap iced coffees for some reason like you do at McDonalds.)
Honestly, I’m just going off what I read in the news. There have been countless stories about McDonald’s and Chipotle getting more competitive on value to compete for “price sensitive” consumers.
These days, it’s very rare for me to eat at a non-airport national fast food chain. The only fast food we eat with any consistency is In-N-Out, and their prices have increased a bit in the last 5 years, but are still very fair. Maybe I’m just not seeing the actual trends out there?!
Tom,
If Chipotle gives half a bowl of food, it is a good visit.
I’m a local and used to take my grandkids to Goofy’s or Storyteller’s for a special treat. The last time, the price of the meal stunned me into deciding to find some other option. Perhaps abundant tourists will make up the loss of local patrons?
I agree with this to a point, but I also think it’s not something unique to Disney at the moment.
I’m actually writing this comment on the tail end of a month-long road trip from the Midwest to California and back (Disneyland absolutely included along the way), and to be honest, food pricing in general has been shocking and egregious for basically the entire trip. Not lodging, not admission to things, mostly just food. As one example, I somehow ended up paying $20 for a meal at Culver’s that didn’t even include fries. By contrast, Disney seemed pretty much the same as it’s been the past few years. If there are discounts starting to creep back onto restaurant menus at national chains, I haven’t noticed at all (that may say more about me than the restaurants, but the point stands).
There’s definitely more Disney could be doing to deliver a better value for its guests, but from where I’m sitting, this is still more or less an “everyone” problem and not simply a Disney problem.
That’s interesting. I had a similar ~$20 meal experience at Five Guys a few years ago…and that was the last time I’ll ever eat there (until I forget about said experience).
For whatever it’s worth, I’ve only really noticed this at Disneyland in the last 2 years (or perhaps last 18 months–the last price increase plus this one). Prior to that, it felt like real world food prices had outpaced Disney ones. It’s still largely that way at Walt Disney World.
This has been my experience as well. Once you account for the captive audience markup Disney prices don’t seem that out of whack with the real world. As a certified fried chicken enthusiast (TM), I can tell you $22 for Plaza Inn – which I believe included 3 pieces, 2 sides, and biscuit when I went last November – is not significantly more than what I’d expect to pay at a non-chain restaurant.
Your larger point about it all adding up certainly remains, but I would agree this feels like very much an “everywhere” problem, not just a Disney problem. (The value pricing you’ve read about for some of the fast food chains has been accomplished more by adding simpler/smaller menu items to order a la carte than by reducing combo prices.)
I will echo that. Our last Disney trip was the first time where I felt the food prices were well in line with what I’m used to normally. High, of course, but not much of a difference. When we go to Disney (World), I love to eat on property and usually sit-down for most meals. Prior trips always felt ridiculously overpriced for these kinds of meals, which I usually excused away with “Disney charm” and such. This last trip was very much in line with what I’ve been used to for dining. Even cheaper in some cases. It’s not steal by any means, just that the real world has caught up and even outpaced Disney from my perspective.
(On a side-note, it was also the Fife Guys experience when I first noticed fast food pricing going insane. Also not been back since, or fast food in general.)
I was there a few months ago, and probably spent $50 on food each day. For an adult traveling solo, I’m not gonna complain about that. But if I was paying for one of those families of 4 that I keep hearing about, at $50 per person per day…yikes!
Because I live on a vacation/tourist centric island, I’m used to prices that are way higher than their value proposition. Honestly, for me eating at WDW is cheaper than takeout or dine-in restaurants at home. These DLR price increases don’t seem crazy to me; however, I am taking my first trip ever to there at the end of August so I guess I’ll be stuck paying more. I strongly believe that food is a central part of the Disney experience so I never bring my own to the parks or get grocery delivery to my hotel.
Everyone (including me) wants Disney to pay their cast members more. But nobody wants to actually foot the bill.
Executives aren’t taking a pay cut. Now or ever.
And Disney isn’t going to stand for profit margin erosion.
The only way Disney pays its cast members more is by raising prices.
And I’m fine with that.
As a point of reference, my son (in college) earns about $20 per hour as a seasonal lifeguard. I don’t think seasonals receive union scale wages (but I could be wrong).
This is a fair point!
If there was a way of knowing that price increases were being driven by Cast Member raises, I’d be all for them. But it feels like that’s a convenient excuse to hand-wave away price increases on anything.
Disney probably needs to come to terms with profit margin erosion. They made major, arguably unsustainable gains during the pent-up demand era, and the last couple of years have felt like grasping to maintain those margins when they were an anomaly.
Maybe my anecdotal experiences are inaccurate, but it sure seems to me that demand is decreasing as prices are increasing. Now in fairness, Disney employs a lot of analysts who are a lot smarter than me; perhaps they’ve concluded that whatever demand decrease is happening would occur regardless, so it makes sense to capitalize with higher prices.
On the other hand, the labor market is still tight. That alone justifies paying higher wages to attract exemplary Cast Members.
In any case, In-N-Out Burger (rather famously) manages to pay employees above-market wages while delivering a premium product at fair prices. Even before 2019, we called it the Disneyland of fast food restaurants. Now, the guest experience there is consistently better.
Unless Disney just hasn’t gotten around to updating yet, it looks like our daily breakfast order at GCH Craftsman Grill–the avocado toast and the frittata that replaced the egg white omelet–have been spared from the price increases. Not sure how that happened and I probably just jinxed it, but those dishes and the frittata in particular just became the best values on the breakfast menu if that holds.
I also agree with you 100% on the alcohol, Tom. Disney can price gouge away on the booze as far as I’m concerned.
Thanks for the article. Yes, those price increases do add up! We always budget for meals when planning a trip so adding even an extra $20 a day can throw it off. It would be nice if Disneyland did have some kind of value menu. I don’t mind paying a little extra somewhere like Blue Bayou, which is expensive anyway. But for counter service I don’t want to pay as much as a whole sit down dinner somewhere off property. When not staying in the bubble I like to stay in a hotel with breakfast because it pays for one meal plus snacks for the family. Can’t wait to try the new In-N-Out! I went to one in San Diego in June and the drive thru line took half an hour. Next time I’ll follow your advice and go between 2-4!
“Next time I’ll follow your advice and go between 2-4!”
We also never do the drive-through, FWIW.
In-N-Out is best enjoyed at a table outdoors.
Disney increasing prices? MY GOD, say it isn’t so.
This hits us just before our trip next week. We do offset food prices by bringing our own breakfast, drinks, and a few snacks. We have figured in the past it has saved us at least $50 a day ( between 4 people). We also share meals. Maybe get a meal plate and a large salad. It’s something I grew up with and also did with my children. That way we don’t feel too bad about spending money for a “meal”. I agree about outside fast food lowering their prices. Hopefully, Disney will do the same. Maybe Disney will adopt the “value meal” on menus. By the way, we are finally going to try the fried chicken at Plaza Inn. We will also get a salad and split. Here’s hoping its a winner! Thanks for all the information, Tom. It is truly appreciated. Maybe we will see you next week.
We used to share meals–but the portion sizes have taken that off the table for us (except a couple of items at GCH Craftsman). Happy to hear it still works for others, though!
My beloved Churro Toffee is now 8.99… ugh. Add to that the currency conversion to CAD and wow! Is it me or does this round of increases feel even more painful???
“Is it me or does this round of increases feel even more painful???”
The last two have been a 1-2 punch that have put a lot of things over the top for us. Things like the Churro Toffee, Matterhorn Macaroon, Mickey Macaron, etc. that are now over $8 despite not being that big.
There are a lot of snacks that we’d used to have once per month or so just for fun that we haven’t had in a while. Ironically enough, it actually has been good for our waistlines. So thanks, I guess, Disney!!!
