Disneyland Food Price Increases

Several food items have increased in cost at Disneyland, which are all now reflected in the app. While it is never a very fun feeling to see this, these increases do happen regularly each year. It's the reality of going to Disneyland that dining is going to be a more expensive component of your trip, but there are still plenty of ways you can save money in this area (see the common Disney dining mistakes to avoid to save money), and several great quick-service locations where you can enjoy a less expensive meal (see our favorite ones here).

Here are some of the examples of popular items that underwent price increases, according to a post by foodatdisneyland on Instagram.

The Plaza Inn Fried Chicken increased by $2, as it was $19.99 and now costs $21.99. A box of popcorn increased by 50 cents, from $6 to $6.50. Fountain sodas increased in cost by 70 cents, from $4.59 to $5.29 for small sodas and $4.99 to $5.69 for large sodas. Chicken tenders and Turkey Legs both increased in cost by $1.50, going from $11.99 to $13.49 and $12.99 to $14.49, respectively. The Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich from Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree also increased $1.50, going from $16.99 to $18.49. Dole Whip increased in price as well, by 50 cents, going from $7.49 to $7.99.
