I walked into to Casey's and walked right out...10 dollars for a hot dog??? I would never

.
$9 for a plain hotdog is silly, for sure - At a ballpark, an airport, an amusement park, and even at Disney.
However, the BBQ Slaw Dog at Casey's is a footlong hot dog with a mound of Pulled Pork all topped with a refreshing cole slaw. For $10, this is a relative bargain to just about any other protein meal available at Disney. And the Polish Sausage topped with caramelized onions and grainy mustard is about the same price you'd pay at your local country or street fair. So laugh all you like, these hotdogs are one of Disney's best value QS meals for a hungry person.
But let's keep all this in perspective - the fast food chain with more locations in America than any other is Subway. Their claim to fame is a $5 footlong sandwich - no fries, no live piano player, no view of Cinderella's Castle, no parade starting in a few minutes.
Some of us are OK paying a bit extra for ambiance.
Regarding the new fries - these are much better for my family, as the matchstick-style if far more child friendly than a thick steak-fry (or British chip). From Disney's point of view, these thinner fries cook more quickly.
