As a guest preparing for a Disneyland vacation, it’s important to look at all of the costs associated with the visit beforehand to make sure the trip doesn’t break the piggy bank.
You’ve made the travel arrangements, booked the best Disneyland hotel, and bought the park tickets (as well as made reservations for them). You’ve even set a budget for the merchandise, but what about the food? That’s just as important to plan ahead for.
Especially since Disneyland is increasing food prices at various locations across the resort.

I went with my parents and to Disneyland on opening day and many times since, up until the 1980s. The cost has become so abhorrent my wife and I can no longer justify the cost. As a senior the complications having to arrive early just to obtain a pass to favorite exhibits is too arduous for a senior and too expensive to bring grandchildren. This cash cow for the corporation has priced out many loyal customers.
