Holiday Dates Price Increase at Restaurants

[MemoryMakers2669]

When I am looking on All Ears at the menus and prices, I see a link that says there are price increases during peak times. Do we know what those dates and amounts are? The link just leads to 2007 prices, and only include Christmas Eve and Day. But I thought I saw something that shows the higher prices for the buffets somewhere.

I'd say based on last year's dates that they'll be in effect about ten days to two weeks surrounding the holiday. (This year, though, they included the entire month of June - from Memorial Day to right after July 4th)

The Christmas one will probably run from about 10 days before Christmas to a few days after New Years.

When I asked a CM the other day for our stay the week of Thanksgiving, she told me that the price increase was $4 for adults and I believe it was $2 for kids. I also think I remember her saying Nov 22 - Nov 29.

Thanks so much everyone! I am trying to crunch numbers. We have 9 nights of dining, but 16 credits worth...for a 12 night stay overall. So, we have to pay OOP for some, and I want to figure out which ones are the best ones to use DDP with and which to pay OOP for. The extra cost on the buffet changes things!
