FYI: New "Holiday" price and price increase for CRT!

[DisOrBust]

Nosing around Deb site and saw that CRT will be increased $1.00 for each meal beginning November 11, 2007. also ,IMHO, to ad more salt to the wounds they now have holiday rates from 11/18 to 11/24 as well as 12/16 thru 1/6. An increase opf $4 adult and $2 child. I hope this is not a trend that willl be effecting all of WDW dining. I wonder maybe they will have a "low season" dining rate??

Just talked to my TA and they told me that the rumor is there will be "holiday" pricing for all the character meals,
due to the "offering of more upscale holiday foods".

I am very disappointed in what Disney is doing with this price increase.
It will definitely cause me to make changes in my ADRs for our dining choices.

I have withstood some of the other POOR choices that Disney has made, but this one is a deal breaker for me!!

It also takes the fun out of planning our character meals.

How can Disney expect the average family to pay for transportation to Florida, hotel stay, park tickets, and then take their last few dollars for outrageous food prices.

Part of the fun for me and DD (age 9) is to have a meal with the characters.

And average family of 4 will now have to spend:
$114 for Breakfast
$132 for Lunch
$146 for Dinner

$100 is what I spend for a weeks supply of groceries.

Disney really knows how to take the fun out of things.

I wonder if that will effect people who have already made a reservation. I have one for dec 4th and I plan to just charge it to the card I gave them when I made the reservation. I think that if they have already quoted you a price then that should be what it is.

This deserves its own thread! I can't believe they're doing this.
