If you're visiting Walt Disney World with your family, you might want to start by eating.
Concession prices at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, have increased an average of 61% over the past decade, outpacing the average increase in single-park tickets, which increased 56% over the past decade, according to a new report from Finance Buzz.
The report estimated the actual inflation rate over the past decade to be 32 percent.
Among the fastest growing items are fan-favorites like Dole Whip dessert, which has increased 58 percent, and Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream bars, which have grown 63 percent over the past decade.
The biggest single price increase was for bread service at Animal Kingdom's Sanaa restaurant, which went from $9.99 to $22 since 2014.
“Since 2014, the price of every item has increased by at least $1.50, with most increasing by at least $2,” Finance Buzz said in the study. “But while food costs have skyrocketed, the base price of the most affordable Disney World ticket has remained remarkably stable, increasing by just $19 from 2014 to 2024.”
The researchers obtained their data by taking current food and drink prices from the Walt Disney World website and comparing them with older Disney websites using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
