No heart for that! But thanks for sharing.
Really? The dolewhips needed to be increased by a full dollar? Nice one, Dāamaro.
Has anything been introduced in the past year that has been an actual benefit to the guest? Iām honestly struggling to think of something, but Iām trying.
Just the opportunity to spend even more money. And I guess Ratatouille.
No, Ratatouille doesnāt count. That was announced before Covid. The same could be said for the Star Was hotel.
I mean something, ANYTHING, that actually is of value to the guest. Iām thinking of something along the lines of that Express Shuttle Bus that was shortlived in 2017.
Yeah I canāt think of anything. Even the āextra hours perkā isnāt so much a perk as it is a poor replacement for a previous product that is now available to even less guests.
They told us they were going to do that. Charge more and give you less. Itās good for our waistlines
In isolation, the food price increase doesnāt bother me so much. With rising costs and supply issues, it seems inevitable.
Trouble isā¦this is not a change being done in isolation. It is coming on top of all the other negative changes and increases.
Agreed.
the problem is these increases are obviously independent of the supply issue though.
Popcorn ā increased from $4.99 to $5.50
Popcorn Bucket ā increased from $11.29 to $13.00
Popcorn Bucket Refill ā increased from $1.89 to $2.25
In no reality beyond āwe wants yer moniesā is popcorn going up from the already insane cost of $5 for 2 cups (Iām guessing thatās how much the thing holds). It was already like a 5000% profit.
iām frankly shocked that the pretzels avoided an increase this round.
Shhhhh they are listeningā¦
Oh i donāt careā¦ i stopped buying the pretzels except on rare occasions. And even then, itās just the specialty ones.
Increase it again and even thatāll stop. I love the pretzels, but I donāt loveām that much. Same for teh mickey ice creams. I havenāt bought one without a Dining Plan since 2018.
The pretzels are listening??
They do have ears
These prices are beyond a joke. I dread to think what weāre going to spend on food in 2 weeks.
Iām actually going to say youāre going to spend less than you normally would.
Because before you might spring for a pretzel, a dolewhip, and an icecreamā¦but nowā¦ just a dolewhip and leave the other two behind.
You end up saving money! Itās a LOSE to WIN!!! ā¦
(thatās the saying, right?)
We usually get free dining, thatās the UK offer. And we are big eaters. The heat doesnāt put us off our food at all.
oh right.
wellā¦
We save money by not using the DDP simply b/c we do less TS when we are paying āout of pocketā and we buy less snacks b/c we arenāt hungry. All in all we spend less w/o DDP
