food IS a theme park
There are a lot of iconic Christmas movies out there, but one especially beloved film is The Santa Clause featuring Tim Allen.

The film ultimately became a series with 2 sequel movies made after the original. It’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen Tim Allen in the big red suit though. The Santa Clause 3 came out all the way back in 2006. But soon we’ll all get to see Tim Allen transform into Santa once again!

Let’s be honest here — food at Disney World can be expensive.
Mickey Waffles!
You can buy a whole meal off of McDonald’s dollar menu sometimes for less than it’ll cost you to buy a box of popcorn. And Disney’s prices are only getting steeper. Recently, we saw literally HUNDREDS of price increases hit a whole bunch of items including popcorn buckets, DOLE Whips, and more. But what do price increases have to do with the Disney Dining Plan? Well, here’s what we’ve seen.
Yesterday was…a LOT.
Popcorn!
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!
There are LOTS of food items and drinks (both alcoholic and not) to enjoy throughout Disney World.
Monte Cristo!
But if you’re heading to Disney World soon, your favorite snacks, entrees, drinks, or desserts might just cost you a bit more than they did last time. We’ve already shared how DOLE Whips, Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars & sandwiches, and select popcorn buckets and refills have gotten more expensive in Disney World. Now we’re sharing a bigger overview of the HUNDREDS of Disney World items that have been impacted by the recent price increases.
