From time to time, we spot price increases at restaurants and more around the Disney World parks, and we do our best to let you know about the changes when we see them.
Today, we spotted a small change in EPCOT that wasn’t necessarily a price increase — it was more of a product decrease. But, it will have an impact on just how much bang you’re getting for your buck. Let us explain.
Inside the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase, you can find La Cava del Tequila, which serves a variety of specialty cocktails, margaritas, and more.
This spot has long been one of our favorite bars in Disney World, and often serves up some unique and colorful creations.
We were in a spicy kind of mood today, so we ordered El Diablo, which is a drink we’ve had before. This drink has Tromba blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, agave, cucumber-jalapeño juice, and a hibiscus salt rim. It costs $16.
When we got our drink, we found it to be tasty as always, but we thought it seemed a little bit smaller than the drinks here normally are.
We asked a Cast Member, and it turns out we were correct. Due to a supply issue, La Cava has new cups for their drinks, and these cups hold about 2 oz less liquid than the old ones did.
For reference, here’s a picture of the El Diablo drink we got back in August.
And the same drink from back in December of 2020.
Unlike the amount of drink in the cups, the price tag did not go down. The drinks here are still the same price that they were when served in the old cups. If you’re looking for a refreshing adult drink in Mexico, La Cava del Tequila is a great place to go because of how tasty their cocktails are. But, just be aware that the amount of alcohol you’ll get for the same price has gone down here. In other words, right now you’ll be getting less bang for your buck than before.

I feel like we are being nibbled to death by a million baby ducklings.
Every day we are being nickled and dimed (more like dollared and C-noted) to death with price increases and service/good cuts.
No wonder 52,000+ people are petitioning to have Chapek fired….

When we were there in January I noticed a similar issue in Animal Kingdom’s Satuli Canteen.. I always treat myself to the Dream Walker Sangria. But this time it seemed considerably smaller than it had been when I purchased it in years prior. I asked a cast member about it later because I was curious and she said they were smaller. Kind of a bummer! Still delicious though! I noticed on the menu they don’t list how many oz. so I’m guessing that allows them to change it up.

Disney us becoming a greedy entity. No price adjustment when you get less for the price? No way!!! Liking Disney less and less. Walt would be disgusted and never allow all these things to ahappen.
Shame on you Disney!!!!!!!
