Part 2/11:
Disney’s reputation for hefty prices extends beyond their parks into their culinary offerings. Once known for a variety of satisfying, if pricey, meals, now the parks are criticized for shrinking portions while maintaining or increasing prices — sometimes up to $20 for a cheeseburger. Fans and visitors have observed that what used to feel like a regular meal now only offers a fraction of the same size for a much higher cost. Disney has long capitalized on food festivals and dessert parties, all marketed as must-do experiences, but increasingly, consumers feel exploited.
