Menu prices - do they go up?

[left210]

We are going June 6-11. I think that is considered regular season. We are trying to decide between dining plan or not and was trying to estimate our ADRs with and without dining plan. I looked up menus on wdisneysecrects but am seeing others talk about different pricing. For instance wdisneysecrets has CP breakfast at $18.99 per person but I saw others post they paid $24.99 per person. As of right now with our food choices the dining plan is not cost effective for us but I dont want to get there and find out I was using outdated or incorrect menu prices. Any place to see updated menu prices for regular season? If in fact I am regular season? Thanks.

PS - I did see that allears.net has menu prices but will those be for regular season or peak season?

The dates you posted are actually normally within the peak dining times. The DDP will cost more, and at fixed price locations, the price will go up by about $4/adult.

So during peak dining is DDP 47.99 p/p or more? Also, anyone know what cost of average CS meal is during peak or price of buffets at CP or H&V during peak?

From the sticky @ the top of the board:
2011 DINING PLAN PRICES:
The prices are (for adults age 10 and over, children age 3-9):

Quick service plan: $34.99/night/adult, $11.99/night/child

Regular dining plan, non-peak: $45.99/night/adult, $11.99/night/child
Regular dining plan, peak: $47.99/night/adult, $12.99/night/child

Deluxe dining plan: $78.99/night/adult, $21.99/night/child

Premium package: $169/night/adult, $119/night/child
Platinum package: $229/night/adult, $160/night/child

Wine and dine add-on: $39.99/night


Depending on where you are reviewing menus, some sites have listed the peak price and some do not. If you want to know for sure for your dates, you can call Disney dining and ask. I do not believe the price for CS foods or regular menu items are increased during the peak times, but I don't know for sure.

That will be peak dining price for the DP, as it runs from first week of June - mid August.

Here is a thread I started a few weeks back, regarding buffet prices for 2011. There are no more $18.99 breakfasts, sorry!

As mentioned above, cash prices for buffets will increase by $4.00/adult and $2.00/child. Prices in my above thread include tax, but you will still need to add tip to it. The peak season surchare applies to all TS buffets, character meals and all you care to eat: CRT, Boma, Chef Mickey, etc.

If you do the peak season DP, it is $47.99/adult and $12.99/child, as posted above and you will automatically be charged this price when you purchase your DP during this time period.

Disney changes their menus frequently throught the year, and so they always post current menu pricing at the restaurants, or, they will tell you when you call. You will not see a buffet surcharge listed, as they just increase menu prices during this time. So, it's always best to call, as I did, as most online menus (especially All Ears), are frequently incorrect.

Hope this helps, Tiger
