So why don't we start a thread to post our DLP food pictures like the one that exists for WDW food?

Now you have got me as this was nearly a year ago. There was certainly several scoops of ice cream 2 bits of brownie, and I want to say fruit but I am not so sure about that.

Here is one thats a bit smaller, a banana split

I'm sure you are right on that. I think the prices of food at these places is shocking right across the board but then, as has been said, you know you are going to get burned a little when you go. Its just what you have to put up with when you go. I do think they charge WAY too much for basic stuff like bottles of water, especially when it's so important for everyone to keep themelves hydrated - but that is just my personal beef!

The trouble with the prices is you have nothing to compare them to as there are no independant food outlets in the parks/village. To be honest, the prices at DLRP are no worse than any other european theme resort. Try feeding a family of four at Legoland Windsor or Alton Towers for example.

Where there is no outside competition for customers the prices will always be high. IF DLRP allowed external vendors on the site, they wouldnt be so keen on theming (to keep prices down), DLRP would have to lower prices to compete so their facilities would suffer and you'd get a downward spiral resulting in the absolute rubbish that UK theme parks offer.

You simply HAVE to take food prices into account when you budget your holiday. For example, we are staying at the Cheyenne instead of the NPB and this allows us a good restaurant meal every night with the price difference. There is enough info on the multitude of websites for DLRP so that no-one needs to be surprised when they arrive. Yes, £45 for burger & chips IS expensive, but you have the choice of not paying it if you dont want to. There are enough places at DLRP where you can get meals at (relatively) reasonable prices.
