I am a local so have been to this candy store many times. Last night I went there to get a couple of those white chocolate marshmallow sticks(4 little marshmallows). They have always been around $1.49. Imagine my disbelief when I noticed the price went up to $3.95(over a 300% markup). Are they kidding me? The pretzel rods went up to $2.95 and if you want them dipped with toppings they went up to $8 for 3 rods or $5 per marshmallow stick. It used to be around $3 for 3 rods and this was just right before christmas. Disney is completely pricing out all the locals and anyone using cash. I can see a slight price raise but we are talking about 333% raise. I am livid now.

We used to eat at a sit down about every 2 weeks but have not done so in 11 months due to the outrageous price increases and the lowered quantity and quality of food. I would remind disney that attendance is cyclical and you are burning all your bridges with your annual passholders and those who do not want your overpriced meal plan. Ludicrous behavior from disney.
 
The pretzels are even worse! I can't remember the price, but we walked out.
 
I have a sweet tooth as big as Montana, but I hardly ever buy candy at Disney. Most of it you can get elsewhere or easily make at home for the prices they charge!

I can eat plain gummy bears and pretend they're Mickey-shaped. ;)
 

We noticed the pretzel rod increase in November. We got them in September and the price wasn't bad at all. By Thanksgiving week they were 3 times more expensive for the SAME thing! Needless to say, we didn't get any pretzel rods that trip. :eek:
