The thing about these concerns is that seem to be either semi-avoidable or not unexpected. Its redundant, but you CAN bring food into the parks, so a regular guest can have the snack portion of their day taken care of. The price of food is no different than they would be at a sporting event or an airport. The cost of a ticket does not entitle anyone to have a "cheap" dollar amount for this optional item (this comment at snacks specifically, not meals). As someone stated earlier, WDW is the most popular tourist destination in the world, and I think some lose sight that it is still a business. They complain now that the park is crowded, but can you imagine if admission was, say, $60? It would be at full capacity every day and you wouldn't be able to move. That cost eliminates guests and makes it more enjoyable. Sure, WDW and DLR, used to have a different "feel" so to speak behind it in its early days. But as travel has increased, even with a lot of changes, due to the popularity that's not going to ever happen anymore. They're accommodating how they can, and yes, that's going to include making revenue. Disney is a luxury not a privilege.

That was off topic. Thank you for the update! I'm a DLR sided person, so I'm assuming we'll get similar increases coming our way soon.

Hi Kenny! It’s really sad that the Disney bosses think that they can charge so much for food that costs A LOT less out of the parks. Their greed has no limits! But, unfortunately there’s nothing that we can do about it except not going to Disney... Which I am not willing to do. Bring most of your snacks with you!

How are there prices any different than if you went to a sporting event? Or a movie theater? Or an airport? or any other theme park? It's premium for convenience of purchased optional snack (not meals, snack) food in a closed area. Disney isn't the only company or industry that does this.

We love Disney but we are now staying off property and are going to do less meals on property and are bringing all our drinks and snacks in a backpack cooler. I will not be paying those ridiculous prices. Disney is getting waaay too greedy. They have doubled in price over the last 8 years and their hotel rooms are super tiny and not comfy at all . No thank you..we will stay in an amazing house with a pool and spa that is 4 minutes from the park and we dont have to deal with busses that are late all the time.

It’s sad that they are over pricing food and tickets. We are from a different country and our exchange rate is not strong against the dollar. This means that they are making it unaffordable to travel to Disney. This will be our first time going but at this rate our last.. I was reading biography of Walt Disney and he always said that Disneyland/world should not be about making money but the experience, so its sad that they have lost Walt’s vision.
