Please do me a favor then. When the prices start coming down, make a post about it so we know!

I remember that time! I remember how things went when Disney the corporation neglected "Disney the brand"! And while some of the members here on this board will defend "everything" Disney does without question, those same folks will be scratching their heads when the profits Disney now...

Thank you for your concern Doug! I'll do better next time with my "name calling". But you know, at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter. I know it may sound like bellyaching. At the end of the day, I've learned how to be "good" with my money and much less of it now goes to Disney...

As far as I'm concerned, definitely not "everyone" should get to Disney! That's what is so hard about writing about this! Because Disney is such a wonderful place and is "special". And I love your second sentence! Awesome!! Good for you! Smart people, smart with their money! That's the...

Hello Ethan. I am responding to "this" version of your post! I disagree with your assessment that "Disney could never truly gouge people". Any parent, with a child with a dream of "Disney" will disagree. Me, as a former struggling single parent will tell you as much. Walt Disney created...

So Doug, you feel that is good business? Placing profit so far up the scale of focus, that eventually, the market evaporates? Sure, Disney's prime business goal is to be profitable. Any fool knows this. Eventually, they will price their customers out of the market and will ultimately fail...

Not really. What I "take issue" with, is the condescension offered by "some" of those folks! As if I (or anyone else) have no right to speak of such things! That we are relegated to the category of "whiners"! Your response is humorous though! I actually thought of writing a statement just...

Agreed! Funny thing, your statement about the "water" reminds me of an experience I remember well! On a particularly hot day, I went to a vendor to ask for a cup of ice water for my wife and I. In front of me, a gentleman bought 5 bottled waters for his family and he dropped almost $20.00. I...

Interesting. I've seen this said before as well and I'm glad you brought it up! Yes, some of the food pricing is lower than in Manhattan. Yet the most expensive dish at Burrito Loco at 166 4th Street NYC is cheaper than the average serving at San Angel Inn at EPCOT. The made at your table...

That is entirely my concern as well! What further disappoints me, is how so many take it with a smile and indifference, then take issue with those that speak out about it. As long as those people exist (and they always will..), Disney will continue to push the market limits and continue...

I do not feel mine was disrespectful either. It was simply more on the snarky side. You are correct, they do have a bearing but my point was contextually different than how it came out in my post. I do not feel that any other park is even remotely on par with Disney. The others ride on the...

Umm, you can't leave maybe? As I stated before. So as long as they're doing it, it's not a problem? I never understood that logic. Then again, I guess the argument I make is not in the best interest of the stock holders. Profit above all else. Funny thing is, if this were an oil company I...

Let me also add, that I never used to complain about the prices until the quality of the product began to wane. When a steak at Le Cellier was phenomenal. When BOMA served prime rib with their pricey buffet. When the napkins had Disney stamped all over them. The details. The details. Now...

You can find whatever version of "price gouging" you desire. It doesn't change the implication of what it means. Simply, that an entity selling a product does so at a cost much greater than what would be considered usual profit margins due to a restriction in the market. This "competition" of...

LOL! GOOD ONE Declansdad! :thumbsup2

Cool! Looks like prices for those fancy frappes are $5.50 plus tax. Large coffee appears to be $3.09? Thanks for your input, it's really appreciated.

I voted. Starbucks coffee is way overrated! I wonder what their price point will be? Does anyone know?

So you are now the thought police or better yet the board police? I guess we can not have our own opinions. I agree with Brunette, Starbucks coffee S U C K S!

Yeah, I couldn't actually remember the name! DW found it in the Yellow Pages then we asked the guy at the front desk who said it was awesome! The chowder, what can I say? Wow! Also, we were there in the off season, so maybe the prices go down because I remember they were really cheap...

Actually, I just found it! It was Yankee Lobster. We passed Hook on the way, so I got it confused! I tried to edit my previous post but it wouldn't let me! I went to this web site though, and this is definitely the place!! But, I see the prices have gone up, considerably! I remember it by...
