Yesterday was…a LOT.

We saw literally HUNDREDS of price increases hit items at restaurants, lounges, and snack stands throughout Disney World’s theme parks, water parks, resort hotels, and more. Some of the increases were pretty small — only a matter of a few cents — but others were larger, in amounts of $1, $2, or even $3. They might seem small at first, but these increased costs can add up over a trip. There are a LOT of price increases to sort through though. Which price increases do you REALLY need to know about? We’re breaking that all down right here!

If you scroll through our full post about the price increases you’ll notice that it is HEFTY. We covered some of the price increases that impacted items at Disney Springs, the Disney World hotels, the Disney World theme parks, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, and even Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

It was a serious undertaking and even that post is not fully comprehensive. Price increases hit a bunch of other Disney World restaurants and snack spots we weren’t even able to fit into that post!

Are you a little overwhelmed with all of the price increases? Wondering what the BIG takeaways are or what classic items have gotten a price increase? We’ve got you covered! Here are the important price increases you need to know about.

Classic Snacks

A number of classic snacks got impacted by the price increases. Over at Magic Kingdom, for example, DOLE Whips are now more expensive. Specifically, we saw these changes made when it comes to DOLE Whips at Aloha Isle:

• Pineapple Float DOLE® Pineapple Juice served with a choice of Pineapple DOLE Whip®, Vanilla DOLE Whip® or Swirl – went from $5.99 to $6.99

Popcorn Refills and Popcorn Buckets

Popcorn refills and popcorn buckets at select locations are also now more expensive. Previously, standard popcorn buckets were $12 each with $2 refills. At popcorn stands around Magic Kingdom, we noticed that the standard bucket price has increased to $13 with refills for $2.25.

Again, those increases on their own aren’t dramatic, but they can add up during your trip. Note that we saw these at select popcorn carts, but it’s not clear if the increase has impacted all spots yet.
