food IS a theme park
We have good news and bad news.
Magic Kingdom
The good news is that park hopping is returning to normal in Disney World in 2024! The bad news is that a TON of price increases have hit the parks and hotels. It’s something we see time and time again, but this time — it impacts our beloved Starbucks.
Welcome back, friends! It’s time for our monthly Disney World news recap. It was a BUSY month in Disney World! We learned SO much, welcomed back several long-awaited experiences, and got some exciting updates on a few upcoming projects.
What’s new and exciting?
There’s a lot to catch you up on, so let’s get right to it!
Want to hear something mind-blowing 🤯? When the Magic Kingdom first opened in Florida, park tickets were cheaper than a Starbucks drink is today! Obviously, the cost of living has increased over time, but does anyone else wish prices could just stay still for a minute?! In Disney World, we’ve noticed price increases all over the parks and resorts lately.
Creature Comforts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Next time you’re in Disney World and you’re craving an iced coffee from Starbucks, you might notice that your bill is a little higher than it used to be. That’s right, we noticed a few price increases just arrived at the Starbucks locations in the Disney parks.
When it comes to dining outside of the Disney World parks, Disney Springs has no shortage of options. Whether you’re looking for a quick (but DELICIOUS) meal at Chicken Guy! or a nice sit-down experience by the water, there’s truly something for everyone.
There is so much to see and do in Disney Springs!
If you’re looking for an atmospheric, well-themed restaurant with some incredible food, The Edison might be the place for you! This “Industrial Gothic”-style restaurant has live entertainment, fun drinks, and even some bacon on a clothesline! We’ve had some fun meals at this little restaurant tucked deep back in Disney Springs, but recently we noticed some price changes that you should know about.
It seems like there are constant changes happening in Disney World lately!
Cinderella Castle
Restaurants are reopening, holiday parties are turning into After Hours events, FastPass+ is being replaced with a new system, and decorations are going up for the 50th anniversary! We like to keep an eye on the dining menus around Disney for any changes, and we recently noticed some price increases at a popular Animal Kingdom restaurant!
