How Much Do Prices Increase??

[goodmorningirl]

Hey everyone I have a few questions that I know one of you will be able to help me with.

--Do the wedding minimums increase every year? I know that now the minimum for a wishes wedding is $10,000.

--Do the prices for dinner per person increase every year?

--I saw that there are different "seasons" depending on what time of year your wedding is. I see that the minimums increase, do the per plate prices increase?

ok so those are the questions that come to mind at this moment lol i would appreciate any input that you all have!

Thanks

Historically the minimum overall expenditure has not increased every year. For example, it has been $10,000 for at least two years now, and when Disney's fiscal year 2009 started a few weeks ago it did not change. (Which is not to say that it won't, but.... seems like they woulda done it then if they were gonna! )

The same is true of the minimum per person food and beverage expenditure - it doesn't automatically increase every year. Also, to answer your third question, it is not tied to seasons/days of the week the way the minimum overall expenditure is. It is tied to where and what time of day you have your reception. (It goes up by $25 at Grand Floridian locations.)

Hope this helps!

They do go up a bit each October but not an outrageous amount.

Our planning session was in May so we got an updated BEO a few weeks ago. Bar prices did not go up, our welcome dinner at the California grill increased by 1$ per person, the children's meal for the welcome dinner did not increase, the pre-reception hors dourves when up by 0.5$ per person, the cheese display did not change, the filet/lobster duo increased by 4$ per person (interestingly the salmon price did not go up), and the children's meal at the reception increased by 3$.

Those increases were actually less than what we were expecting.

I just got a new BEO from my planner because the dinner prices increased but it was so little that I didn't even notice a difference.

The minimums will all be the same, and the menu prices will be the same, but other things - like location fees, transportation costs, viewing fees - could change at any time. They will lock prices in for you 6 months before your wedding.
