Just returned from WDW yesterday, and as posted above, despite my calling Disney Dining Dept. in January and getting what I thought were updated prices, it looks like Disney has raised prices again.
I walked by Crystal Palace sign last week, and during peak season, prices have risen. Dinner is now $43.65, without tip! That is pretty much the cost of the DP, so Disney has a good racket going on, since a few years ago, we paid like $28.00 for dinner.
Breakfast prices are totally out of control for that kind of food. This was our first trip in years, that we did no character meals, and didn't even miss it, and I have young kids. We hardly even saw any characters, and they fine with that. We have done every character meal a million times - LOL! - so we didn't miss it. With those prices, I can do an entire week of groceries for one dinner meal. No thanks.
To those going, you really can't seem to predict Disney's prices, as I called and spent 45 mins with Disney on the phone, only to arrive to higher prices (about $1.00 more).
Hope this helps, Tiger
