If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you might want to apologize to your wallet beforehand.
Planning a trip to Disney World is tricky enough before even factoring in cost. We’re no strangers to Disney World price increases, as we’ve seen things like ticket prices and Lightning Lane costs get more expensive this year. Unfortunately, the blows aren’t slowing down as Disney World has increased food costs across their resorts.
Historically, we’ve seen a trend where general Disney World prices start to increase around October, and unfortunately, that trend continues. The following price increases are just a sample of what we have seen so far at the resorts.

These price increases are generally pretty subtle, but they can add up and stack over time, so if you have to feed a large family or visit Disney World every year, you’ll really notice the difference. These changes generally occur right before the busy holiday season when Disney can really maximize profits.

The way we’ve handled increasing prices (as well as other factors) is to plan to visit when we can have the kind of trip we’d like. This does mean visiting longer but less often, and at less ‘peak’ times of year. With the costs of everything increasing so much, Disney is not immune to that. But it does seem like some cost changes at Disney are very extra, and almost aimed at alienating all but the super-wealthiest of potential guests. And I say potential, because the changes are certainly not aimed at serving 80-90% (or more) of the people who visit now. We are not among the people who can spend whatever we absolutely want on a Disney trip, but we spend a LOT, and I know people who can afford to spend almost as much as they could possibly want, and even they are turned off by what is happening with Disney cost-wise. People who can go anywhere and do anything for vacations are not Disney’s bread and butter. Those people don’t care whether they go to Disney or somewhere else, and in fact, there is a certain stigma among that set if you *don’t* branch out and go different places (especially other than Disney) on vacation. I’m not as worried about not being able to afford to have the kinds of trips we’d want (although there is that), as much as I’m worried that too many people will stop going in Disney’s bid to appeal only to the most elite customer. It won’t keep them in business.
