The thing about these concerns is that seem to be either semi-avoidable or not unexpected. Its redundant, but you CAN bring food into the parks, so a regular guest can have the snack portion of their day taken care of. The price of food is no different than they would be at a sporting event or an airport. The cost of a ticket does not entitle anyone to have a "cheap" dollar amount for this optional item (this comment at snacks specifically, not meals). As someone stated earlier, WDW is the most popular tourist destination in the world, and I think some lose sight that it is still a business. They complain now that the park is crowded, but can you imagine if admission was, say, $60? It would be at full capacity every day and you wouldn't be able to move. That cost eliminates guests and makes it more enjoyable. Sure, WDW and DLR, used to have a different "feel" so to speak behind it in its early days. But as travel has increased, even with a lot of changes, due to the popularity that's not going to ever happen anymore. They're accommodating how they can, and yes, that's going to include making revenue. Disney is a luxury not a privilege.
That was off topic. Thank you for the update! I'm a DLR sided person, so I'm assuming we'll get similar increases coming our way soon.
