New Tony's experience starts booking tomorrow

[wilkeliza]

Hi All,

I did a quick search but didn't see anyone mentioning this. Tony's now has a new experience just announced on the blog.

Looks like you get lunch and then get reserved viewing for Main Street Electrical Parade. Prices are 45 for adults and 17 for kids. Bookings open on 6/7.

While I like Tony's this just goes in line with all the new upcharges. I don't mind them so much but now every night time offering has a package. I wonder if you could even use the space for Wishes.

The main problem with this package is that you have to eat at Tony's. I'd rather pay $45/person to NOT eat at Tony's.

And folks can't believe there would be characters meals going to 2 credits.

It seems every week we get a news of something that is going to cost more money.

So if it's popular it makes sense to raise the price and make 2 credits.

If it's not popular then add a package with perks added that people want.

Their goal is no low season with every bed, restaurant chair etc FULL and they will do what it takes.

I'd rather run with the bulls and take my chances for a parade spot than pay extra money to eat at Tony's. I don't care how good the spot for MSEP is!

I'm seriously considering this. We're on the dining plan and it comes with an appetizer. I might give it a shot.

TONY's did it once, and only once, that was enough..Disney quit trying to make money on every thing, you are totally taking away from the "Magic" you try so hard to sell.

Now that's just cruel - Tony's?

You, you want to have a front row seat for the parade, well then first you must prove your mettle by "dining" at Tony's. Think you are tough enough, Disney soldier?? Good luck.

I guess the good news is that the first aid station is not too far away from Tony's. They will have antacids at least.

Based on current menu offerings, it's not hard to spend $40 on appetizer + entree + dessert + pop at Tony's, but the question remains whysoever you would WANT to.

I agree, we already have a lunch reservation in november, I hope it changes over to the new parade lunch.

I'll give you a discount. Send me $30 and I'll allow you to not eat at Tony's.

The reservations don't auto change. You will have to rebook the parade lunch tomorrow.

And they say WDW isn't affordable anymore!

How to fill a restaurant that no one likes. Sigh.

Just FYI..this is now open to book. Just reserved mine for 9/12.

I just read the fine print that it comes with an "I Ate at Tony's and Lived" t-shirt. Now I'm really conflicted...

 

[BigAlsGal]

Yeah yeah. Everyone wants to dis Tony's but I LOVE Tony's! We eat there every trip! If they make this a hard place to get in to I'm gonna be mad. Luckily there might be enough of you that hate it. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Times are already available:https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/magic-kingdom/main-street-electrical-parade-dining-package/

Disney certainly comes up with creative ways to charge multiple times for the same things, I will give them that. How many times do we have to pay to see a parade and fireworks? It would be funny if it were not so ridiculous.

No thanks, Disney. I don't need to feel "special" and "exclusive". I can watch a parade from the curb. I'm old school like that.

Unless...the next step is charging a premium for curb space. They could tier it. Tier One ($67.00 adults, $57 children 3-9) would be with your keister on the curb, feet on actual street. Tier Two, ($63.00 adults, $53.00 children 3-9) knees in the back of head of person on the curb, dropping pop corn on them. Tier Three ($57.00 adults, $47.00 children 3-9) behind Tier Two, but with the option of shoving children between Tier One and Tier Two guests (fastpass+ required in addition to Tier Three ticket). Bookings may be obtained 180 days in advance, and good luck with that, because oddly, it is never available (but the same people will have them that go to Be Our Guest every year).

Disney, mark my words: you are taking things too far, and some day you may need all that goodwill you are busy burning up. Just sayin'.

I like Tony's okay, but I'm totally with you.

It's become absurd. Truly.
