Wow, a Dole Whip went up 1.00 (20 percent) – that’s not a small increase. They were 4.99 last weekend. I get prices go up, but 20 percent? Wow.
In December alone inflation was 7% and with the way supply chains are I’m not shocked. Look at grocery stores and how empty shelves are and the fact that it’s hard to get a tons of things.
greedy man chapek at his best.
Disney disappointing guests with 50th treats. The Donald Duck dome cake was bad. Some of these treats are over $8, does Disney care about presenting a good product? It doesn’t seem so. I know when we go in the Spring I may ask for a refund if they try to cheat me (selling me an overpriced dessert that tastes bad and disappoints).
