I went to Hoop De Do Revue. When it came time for dessert I had to explain I was highly allergic to strawberries. They said no problem and brought me a piece of chocolate cake instead. I received a bill for $15.00 for a special dessert, plus 18% gratuity.
People keep paying for this crap– no-one else to blame but the public. Disney is sort changing in every possible way and keep getting away with it because of the visitors, theres no-one else to blame. Stop spending ridiculous amounts of money at WDW or DL and this sort of thing will change for the better — went to Belles castle for dinner, wife and daughters, the 4 of us –was the worst meal we had ever had there and the bill was almost $200 after gratuity –pathetic, will NEVER go back!
Thank you SO much for covering this – Chapek started cutting the portion sizes, drastically, and hiking the prices, drastically over a year ago. This isn’t a slice of cake, that’s the size of a free sample. What a joke. If you order anything that looks like that, SEND IT BACK and get your money back. We have to stop paying more and getting less. At Bengal BBQ we used to get 2 skewers of chicken or beef – whichever you ordered. Now it’s 1 skewer and the price is double! For half of what you used to get. This all ties into his BS excuse for the Res system – it’s not to manage crowds or to plan staff. He laid off thousands of employees. He uses the res system to create an artificial demand – same goes for his Genie and LL – all artificial demand. Vloggers were saying that Carthay and Lamplight only have half of the tables open due to staffing shortage. No, Chapek wants to save money on food. He cut the menus at most of the sitdown restaurants too. I can’t wait for Chapek to get fired or be forced to resign. We have to stop buying tickets on the high priced weekends, stop buying Genie, Ligtning Lane, merch, and sitdown restaurant food. We have to eat into his ‘record revenue’ which is all due to him doubling prices and cutting the products in half. Oh and he’s also saving money not doing maintenance on the rides. Not until someone is injured will he pay to actually get Indy, Splash and ROTR the true repairs they require. It happened in the past with another greedy individual, I fear history will repeat itself
👍💯 my sentiments EXACTLY. I’m not paying those prices to be disrespected – and that’s what it feels like. They are thumbing their nose at so many of us who grew up going frequently and brought our kids frequently. I won’t be bringing my grand kids. We will have a new family vacation tradition
WDW is not what it was. It WAS a magical place. It is now a disaster from airport transportation to admission pricing to restaurants cutting portions to charging insane prices for what they deliver. Have been a Vacation Club member for over 20 years. I’m done with Disney. I wish everyone else good luck but there are many other vacation opportunities that you really should consider. Thanks for listening
Well what ticks me off and makes me a “never again” was when at the time that they announced portions shrinking the woman who runs that section at Disney said flippantly that she was “helping visitors waistline”. What unmitigated baloney. Shame on them. We used to go 1-2 times a year but Disney seems to hate it’s guests these days and we have better ways to spend the money.
The Epcot food and wine show was similar. 3 shrimp for $8, a tiny piece of steak for $10. This was our 9the visit to Disney, and we won’t be back anytime soon. Everything is an upcharge and no reason now to stay on site at one of their resorts
