I wonder if Disney will honor the old rates if they were locked in last week.

HAHA the FREE HOPPING Announcement has another price increase it was hopefully outshining. No doubt more to come, keeping us on the edge of our seat - wallet & calculator in hand!

The whole we'll give you back the free hotel parking but no worries, we'll make it up elsewhere, plan.

I will say ... I have no problem with this one. The most popular times of year it is a much more valuable event.

Holy Moly, Disney is certainly going all in with the price increases today. Annual passes, parking, all of the character meals I plan on doing in March, Genie plus hitting the highest pricing and now this.

But… all day park hopping is back!

I can see why the dessert parties would be more based on date. I’m guessing the price increase on food and pre fixed meal cost increase are just in time to make the dining plan look better. Looks like I’ll need to trim something else off my March trip to stay in budget.

Disney typically honors the old price for items that are paid in full at the time of purchase, so long as you don’t modify it in any way. So if you have paid in full, don’t make any changes to your purchase.

If it is something where it is a reservation only, but it hasn’t been paid for yet, then they usually charge the new price.

Thanks for that confirmation. That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't for sure. Some meals, like Cindy's and Beats, buffets, etc.. charge up front, but then (I think) do something again where they bring a bill for you to add a tip or add charges... I didn't know if it was like that.

At least for the dessert parties, where there is not option to add on items or tips, it's good to know they'll honor the old pricing.
