Disney World Raises Dining Prices Across Parks and Resorts

Walt Disney World has implemented a series of price increases across its parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, marking the fourth consecutive year of such adjustments in October. While the headline-grabbing increase was the $120 rise in the Incredi-Pass to $1,749, the more impactful changes came in dining prices, affecting every guest regardless of where they eat.

The most significant percentage increases were seen in small-dollar items. Harambe Market at Animal Kingdom raised the price of a kid’s cheeseburger by 27% from $7.49 to $9.49, the steepest increase on the list. The churro at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Magic Kingdom saw a 25% jump from $5.99 to $7.49. These increases, though smaller in dollar amounts, have a significant cumulative effect on overall trip costs.

Character dining experienced some of the largest dollar increases. ‘Ohana breakfast prices rose from $53 to $58 for adults and from $33 to $36 for kids, while dinner increased from $67 to $69 for adults and from $44 to $46 for kids. Similar increases were seen at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Artist Point, Crystal Palace, and Cape May Cafe. Signature dining saw modest percentage increases on already high prices, such as the Cobb Salad at Hollywood Brown Derby, which rose from $30 to $32.

Quick service meals, where most guests eat, saw smaller individual increases but collectively add up. For example, Casey’s Corner mini corn dogs went from $10.99 to $11.99, and the Colossal Mickey Cinnamon Roll at Isle of Java increased from $7.49 to $7.99. Disney also protected some entry price points, such as the cheapest one-day ticket for Animal Kingdom, which remained at $119, and unchanged Lightning Lane Multi Pass pricing.
