Walt Disney World has introduced a series of price increases across its food and beverage offerings today, including a notable rise in the cost of refillable mugs and popular park snacks.

The popular refillable mugs at Disney Resort hotels, which offer unlimited refills at self-service stations across the resorts during the length of your stay, are now priced at $22.99, up from $21.99. The last price increase on refillable mugs was in October 2022.

Snack Price Increases

Disney World has also implemented price hikes on several food and beverage items across the parks and resorts. Here's a snapshot of some of the most common items that have seen a rise in price:

  • Fountain beverages: Up $0.30
  • Coca-Cola bottled beverages: Up $0.25
  • Dasani water: Up $0.25
  • smartwater: Up $0.25
  • Powerade: Up $0.25
  • Mickey Pretzels: Increased by $0.20 to $0.25, depending on location
  • Churros: Up $0.20
  • Assorted chips: Up $0.30
  • Freshly brewed Joffrey's Coffee: Up $0.50

Rising Costs for Disney Guests

These price adjustments come as part of a broader trend of rising costs at Walt Disney World, including increases in annual pass prices, park tickets, restaurants, and snacks.

While these price changes may seem small, they add up over the course of a vacation, especially for families. Be sure to plan accordingly for any increases when budgeting for a trip.

If I'm spending $700 a day for a vacation, it's gonna be in the presidential suite at a luxury all-inclusive in the Caribbean, never for a theme park.

Who knows with inflation how much a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will be? Totally out of my league!!! I've put an order in with Costco to ship several crates to a storage facility I'm renting in Orlando.

Just don't buy an annual pass, you freeloading deplorable.

$611 for a day at MK over Christmas week using a 7-day Park Hopper (and dividing the price amongst 7 days) and then adding the LLPP at what will likely be the highest price point (plus tax). Just to get into the park and have 1 LL entry for whatever rides you're able to do that day.

Wow, that's a lot. I better go now and go often. I can't afford not to!!!

Well if you add the Lightning Lane Premiere pass to a standard ticket you can essentially be paying $700/day...There is nothing that is new or cool enough in any of the parks for the next 3+ years that would get me to pay that kind of price. Certainly none of the current offerings... Not sure what the current realistic date for the Animal Kingdom additions is currently sitting at, but can't imagine it will truly open before 2027-8 Certainly the Carsland Project and Villains section won't open before 2028-9... So Maybe EPIC will have some very good years to kick off the park... As the first new park in decades, it will definitely be busy...especially if it really turns out to be amazing.

Yep. "$1000/person for a single day ticket is something we're aiming for!" - Josh D'Amaro. Maybe. ;)

That would be a four digit number, right?

MVMCP smashed through the $200 barrier this year at the top end, with 3 dates being priced at $209/person and 2 dates at $219/person after holding at $199/person on the high side the previous 2 years. Plus, the number of $199/person events has gone up: 2 in 2022 3 in 2023 8 in 2024 Once something breaks a psychological barrier, like $100/ticket, there are few similar barriers until you reach the next additional digit.

Price gouging only occurs on necessities. WDW is NOT a necessity.

That $199 ticket is already over $200 after tax No, Disney doesn't get or charge that 6.5%, but the guest pays it regardless. I think once you get over $150, $175 a day, $200+ isn't a shocker. Parties and such have been close to that before.

I remember this discussion when it was approaching $100. These numbers are only taboo until they pass them and then suddenly, they're not anymore.
