Disney continues to rain on my parade with all the price gouging. Here is a link to yet another article discussing the reasons for the shift in focus from the park experience to a profit oriented focus as evidenced in the domestic Disney Parks.

Here is an idea of some of the prices from the THIRD Disney Dining price increase in a few weeks:
- Regular Fountain Drink is now $3.29, up from $2.99.
- Large Fountain Drink is now $3.69, up from $3.29.
- Apple Juice is now $3.29, up from $2.79.
- Orange Juice is now $4.29, up from $3.99.
- Chocolate milk is now $2.69, up from $1.99.
- Low-fat milk is now $2.69, up from $1.99.
- Dasani Bottled Water is now $3, up from $2.75.
This is just to give some of you an idea of how much you will be paying for just these items. Food prices are very high as well and cheaper quality ingredients have been intentionally substituted in recent weeks to make room for additional profit. Multiply this by the number of people in your family and you can see how expensive just the above reference items in a quick service meal have become.
As I have said before I really like taking an UBER car ride to Walmart where I can get just about anything I need (except
Matthew McConaughey) to try and save money on my trip. Matthew is going to have to start making even more movies and car commercials where he goes out to eat with dogs if I am to continue to afford these Disney trips. I know one thing for sure, he isn't taking those dogs to eat at a Disney park... it's too expensive!
