Yep. About the only people going are either the social media influencers, the family who saved since their children were babies (so years), and the majority: the idiots who will put a second mortgage on their house to go to Disney every year.
Yeaaaaaah, I've worked in a variety of restaurants and whenever they list those fancy names, the box it comes in just says "french fries" or "dried pasta" on it, nothing fancy at all
Kneon must be pretty sick with how many videos he has been absent for, I hope he gets better soon I really miss hearing the both of you talking on your videos!
Even Mr. Krabs would be telling Disney to calm down because at least he cares if his customers come back or not. heck, that was an episode once. Mr. Krabs trying to give his customers reason to come back so that they'll keep spending more money. he knows how to play the long game. Disney just wants that money NOW.
$23 Egg Sandwich? $26 slice of CAKE? $32 Burger and "pommes frites"? $4 slice of Toast? What is this, "Soylent Green: The Movie Restaurant?" And now? $20 Egg Sandwich. $3.99 slice of Toast. $26.99 Burger and "Pommes Frites."
For $1 more at $28, we could go to McDonald's and get a Big Mac and Medium Fries and that is for 2 meals while that is still for ONE at Dismal World. $27 is STILL insane for a burger and fries. Its better than the OBSCENE $32 that they were asking for earlier but it still doesn't make up for the fact that it is still absurd that they are STILL charging THAT MUCH for a burger and fries.
You say that like the parks aren't losing attendance and their movies aren't losing hundreds of millions a year. Sure, some disney fans will bend over, over and over, but those people are dwindling.
I disagree. It sounds like the Cake Bake Shop was forced to lower some prices, with the one cent price drops being their way to give the middle finger to all the people who complained about their prices. It would be interesting to compare the offerings at Disney to their other locations, to see if they engage in shrink-flation to recover the cost of the price drops at Disney. It is a restaurant, so it would be simple for them to reduce the portion sizes to save costs.
I could MAKE them for less than 5. Buy a loaf of bread, buy egg salad from deli, toast the bread, slap it together. Probably made 6 or 8 sandwiches easy.
I wish I could post meme pics here, because I have one of Donald Duck, looking at a paper thin sandwich with a slice of bean inside it and you can see the bean through the bread. lol
18$ for a few pancakes? they have gotten so high off their own farts that they honestly think these prices are reasonable. you can't titanic your entire film corporation and lose billions of dollars and expect to make it up by charging psychotic prices at the parks no one is going to anymore. if this was a sustainable business practice they would be PROFITING off it all instead of seeing their stocks tanks and park admission numbers fall continuously.
Did you REALLY expect Iger to open a McDonald's at Disney for guests of more modest incomes? I know you were just born yesterday, but... REALLY? Iger knows the customers he wants. If you don't own a private jet, it's NOT you.🚫
@@TerryKitts did you even read my comment? i said nothing about "cheap fast food" inside a family park like disney- i simply reminded everyone it was originally intended for families- NOT for private jet owners. why the insult? i was born yesterday? i never insulted you.
Overall disney soon will require all inclusive food/upgrade plans. I know many who struggled over getting the food plan because it didn't make semse for everyone. But Disney wants you leaving money on the table.
Wait, I'm grinning ear to ear and I haven't even hit "play" yet. Disney, has a cake shop? And no one, at any point thought it might be a good idea to make certain it was the one thing that was not overpriced? Has no one in the entertainment industry been educated? I don't know who said let them eat cake, I can't remember, but I know she was rich and powerful and said it because she thought being out of bread meant something else, there was no cake, they were starving, so when she said let them eat cake, well, that was that. Whoever she was. Like Nero playing his lute while Rome burned. Guy was an actor. He only knew how to entertain, so when they started running for their lives in terror, he figured soothing music was the way to go. He was wrong. ADD... Cake, should be one of the cheapest, ... oh, wait, I dated a baker's assistant, she said the baker loved wedding cake orders, 500-1500% mark ups are allowed on those, but them are special, I can understand 499% of that, and this guy could pipe. He is a master, if I believed in weddings, you can bet I'd want him to bake it. Yeah, now I should probably watch some of this video. But I read some of the description. If the burger is over $10.00, I do not buy it. If the eggs are over $2.00, I do not buy them. I have not been to a restaurant in, I'm going to say probably 8 years, but I did order a burger from the place I used to go to from time to time, in August. It came to $12.76, with fries. It was their standard half pound cheeseburger and 2 cups of fries. Bought a gyro and fries few weeks back, $17.50, that's a bit steep for me but, that cooking spit is always on and their onions seem the freshest for some reason.
Listening to these insane prices while I make up a batch of Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie brownie bars which a fab! And the whole pan costs like $4 to make? I hope Kneon feels better soon. I have really enjoyed your takes on everything.
Wait what kind of toast are we saying? Generic toast or a fancy toast? Also how big is the egg sandwich? So 17 dollars for eggs, how many eggs? I feel like none of these sound like price drops or at least good price drops.
Dang hope he gets better. What worked for my gf and i was something i learned from a brilliant doctor: detox bath. Montmorillonite clay (2 cups), Epsom salt (2 Cups), boron (2tbsp). Make sure the water is over 90 (i keep it around 95 degrees), sit in it for 20 minutes, set a timer. After you're done, take some iron supplements and drink herbal tea. My gf would lose her voice and cough and just be overall horrible until i started doing these for her, now we do one once a month and NEVER get sick. If we're feeling kinda meh, a bath will immediately cure it
If I'm being extremely fair, going to a high quality tea room in my area is roughly $60 a person. Part of this price is the experience of having a small room or partitioned area to yourself for hours at a time, and munching a wide variety of fancy finger foods with friends while all desserts and drinks are included. (Tips are baked into the price at the places I'm thinking about.) And there's an article online that says this place's Indiana location has this set tea menu for $65. Imagine yourself in a partitioned area or private room with that price per person, not paying tips, getting multiple entrees and desserts served to you with multiple pots of tea. Okay, the price makes sense, right? Kind of along the same "girls day out" price you'd pay going to the spa or something. Well, maybe not this time. I'm looking at web sites showing the disneyworld menu and you know what I'm not seeing? The full afternoon tea option that you'd usually pay those prices for. And I'd bet money that tips are not baked in. All I know is I'd probably get far more enjoyment out of 60 bucks at a fancy tea room than I would paying that price to get a sandwich, fries, and a slice of cake.
Feel better Kneon! We miss you and Geeky Sparkles together making fun and informative videos together. Disney prices are crazy in general but fools and their money are soon parted especially pixie dusters.
I got free tickets to Disney a couple of years ago. The park on a weekday in early May was grossly overcrowded (hour plus wait to ride anything) and stuff grossly expensive ($10 for a simple hot dog near the Haunted Mansion). I left shortly after lunch as the wait times started to climb towards 2 hours and I've told my spouse that I wouldn't go back even if we got free tickets again. It was a miserable experience. That's how bad Disney has gotten - it's not worth going even if the tickets are free.
Reducing price by $0.01 is even sillier than using "Pommes Frites" in the US. Is that term even used outside of German? What are Pommes/Fries doing in a "cake bake shop" anyway?
Red - Disney cake aside - they're selling Hard Mountain Dew on your channel which is a product new enough that I never heard about it. Just thought I'd fill you in, in comment form, my lovely little friend.
@1x4 says - "These are disgusting prices". --- Yes... in YOUR humble opinion. Of course, if you had succeeded at life and amassed a fortune, the prices would seem quite reasonable. I take it from your comments that you have never enjoyed the Swinging Tomahawk Ribeye at Smith & Wollensky. [sigh] You should have tried to succeed a little harder.🤑
Have you seen the prices at Victoria & Albert's? Rich people just need a place to impress other rich people. Iger knows the target demographic he wants. If you don't own a private jet, it's NOT you. 🚫
So I did the math based on the prices of my local stores, rounded it up...I could make my own brioche bites for just $10... and it's the whole damn loaf, dozen of eggs, and sugar/cinnamon, serves 10. Butter noodles? $5 for the box of pasta, butter, and cheese, an entire box can serve 6. Crab cakes in my area are readymade for just $5 for 5 patties, add another $2 and you can turn them into sliders. Ingredients for Broccoli quiche $6, serves 8. So under $30, I could eat luxery food for several days in a row.
I went down the rabbit hole of looking at their Indiana web site and menu prices. Strangely enough the price increase from the two other locations in Indiana to the Disney one isn't that bad. (Mind you the prices at the Indiana stores are way too high to begin with.) The pictures for their main store do give the impression of a place I would never step inside. When the pretentious descriptions of your menu items exceeds some Michelin star fine dining you know it is going to be good. I have never heard Crystal Hot Sauce granted the prominence and description used on the menu. I am still shocked that your telling me the $2 upcharge for Tillamook cheese, the fancy Maille mustard both of which I can buy in my local grocery store, but the butter is just salted European with no country of origin or creamery.
I just laugh at Disney nowadays. I haven't been there since March 2020 (just before the pandemic that China says doesn't exist), and I have no desire to go back to Disney.
I would love to see a Rule 34 Club, so I could enjoy the Disney princesses in a (ahem) more mature environment. It would be worth the premium price. Disney already has a Club 33. Make Club 34 happen, Iger.
But if Iger gets the wealthy target demographic he wants, then this restaurant could do quite well. Wealthy people like to flaunt their wealth. It's comparable to "keeping up with the Jones's" (trying to out-do your next door neighbor). It's a "rich people" thing... you wouldn't understand. Probably.
In the words of Sam Vimes :"I was talking about policing, not alcohol. There's lots of people will help you with the alcohol business, but there's no one out there arranging little meetings where you can stand up and say, "My name is Sam and I'm a really suspicious b*st*rd.” So I would not be shocked if you took both menus, and added up the total cost of each one, minus the charcuterie board, the two totals might be very close together. Most of the price drops were a penny, and there was still some cheeky af increases. 4 bucks for A slice of toast? Guessing that's one slice cut in half. Now I live in the UK so had to look this up, but on average a loaf of bread is $2.50. Here I get about 8 sandwiches , nine if I use the ends, from a cheap 75p loaf, assuming you get the same amount of slices in the U.S as we get here, that's 16 slices of bread. Times that by 4 equals $64 from one $2.50 loaf. Not counting the butter and jam, as I used to work in a Cafe, and they basically cost pennies. There is a big difference between marking up to make a profit , and marking up just to take the Mickey , pun slightly intended.
$4 for a slice of toast. Let's say they buy a loaf of bread at the market for $4 and get 20 usable slices from it. They make ($4 x 20)-$4 = $76 as pure profit on their investment of $4.
I would rather eat at a regular restaurant or a buffet than eating in that expensive bake shop. I will have a full meal and even probably cheaper that a slice of cake from that place.
The prices are expensive for the same reason Victoria & Albert's is expensive... to keep the common people OUT. This sort of restaurant exists because wealthy people demand it. New York City is chock full of super expensive restaurants, and no one complains (well, no one worth mentioning, anyway). When rich people want to impress other rich people, these expensive restaurants are where they go. Of course, some influencers get in, their cost being paid by their sponsors. Disney is famous for this. Iger knows the audience he's going for... it's the whales, not the poor.
As a Southerner, I wouldn’t even pay 1 cent for what I imagine is their version of gumbo. 😂 I saw their recipe video on Valliant Renegade - who is a NOLA boy - and let’s just say, Disney’s recipe might launch another Civil War. And no, I was NOT prepared for those prices.
I tried the Disney version of beignets at the French Quarter Resort. They were awful, air-filled, dry pastries, covers with powdered sugar. Nothing like a real beignet. I can't imagine how badly they would screw up gumbo. I... I don't want to think about it.🤮
@thephantomoftheparadise5666 says - "What the Disney company understands is that just because a person is rich doesn't mean they want to over spend on food at a theme park". You really think Disney understands that? Really? I realize you were just born yesterday, but... REALLY???🤔
So, it's a bougie restaurant from another part of the country and decided to open in WDW. They probably raised their normal prices since WDW charges a lot of rent to these types of restaurants (especially because they are competing with the Disney-owned ones). Hate to say it, but since it's a bougie restaurant, you fools who go have to pay. Most of the stuff on the menu, I can make. You probably can too. I just ate a scrambled egg. It didn't cost me to have "any style" eggs for $17. It was less than 50 cents for that egg I ate.
One can go to a bakery located outside of the Disney areas & get better bang for your buck. & they're wondering why attendant is down. You can only get more blood outta the rocks for so long before they dry up & even the folks with the big bucks there's taking to attract even go elsewhere. & again, Godspeed on Kneon getting better. I only hope it's not serious.
They are down because the recent Disney stuff has kinda killed the illusion. Universal is still better for boys. And at these prices, people can travel to A LOT of different places. For a long time Disney was a mix of crazy upgrades but lots of room for others to have a nice if not cheap vacay. Now it's getting to be that only the rich can have fun. But the rich can also go elsewhere.

And carry that lunch around with you in the terrible Florida heat? Be careful what you pack in that lunch, or you WILL regret it later.🤮 I suggest cereal in zip-loc bags. Cereal stands up to the Florida heat well. Granola is filling, while Capt Crunch can give you that burst of energy you need to endure the endless stand-by lines for the Disney rides. No rule says you have to pick one cereal. Bring your favorites with you.
@@TerryKitts I was thinking of leaving it packed in a cooler in the car, RV or hotel fridge or something like that. The cereal is a good idea though! Other dry snacks too, like nuts, jerky or trail mix.
It's a middle finger toward the complainers who forced them to reduce SOME of their prices. "HA HA, one cent off... suck THAT, crybabies". "NO charcuterie board for you whiny babies. And we're making the portion sizes smaller, too ! HA HA HA". I... don't feel welcome there.
The manager changed it right quick after getting wind of the complaints. They know that no one will buy this. The very rich wouldn’t go there. They’d go to a much fancier place. The average family wouldn’t go there since competition plenty.
Walked back, or where dragged kicking and screaming the whole way... so mature Bob. 0~o With Parks its Captive pricing, (you are the captive) and have no recourse on the Park's grounds. Our State Fair did much the same by lock stepping the vendors to the Fair board's insane prices such as $5.00 for a 20-oz. fountain soda. The dumb side of this you need only get a hand stamp at the gate and walk literally 35-yards across the road to 15 different sit-down restaurants and quick food shops like Taco Bell. and the like
The Disney difference
Too expensive for the middle class, too low quality for the rich
That's a very good way of putting it.
Yep. About the only people going are either the social media influencers, the family who saved since their children were babies (so years), and the majority: the idiots who will put a second mortgage on their house to go to Disney every year.
Yeaaaaaah, I've worked in a variety of restaurants and whenever they list those fancy names, the box it comes in just says "french fries" or "dried pasta" on it, nothing fancy at all
I've seen Dominoes Pizza employees in Costco shopping for garlic bread when they ran out.
As a cook myself, I do agree with you.
They could cut prices by 50% and it still wouldn't be worth what they are charging.
But how much is the experience of getting ripped off by such a swanky place worth? Think of the memories!
People need to stop paying these prices. Let them drop again and again and again. They’re still absurd.
Indeed, money is the only thing that these companies listen to.
@@Larrysorry to be off topic but good to see you're still active. Can't wait to see your next video

Funny thing is it wasn't a huge drop. Some things went up, while some things were only reduced 1c.
It's a test to see if consumers are resilient to increases in price. Investors need to see an increase in margins and revenue.

Disney prices are crazy in general but fools and their money are soon parted especially pixie dusters.
Popular and award winning bakeries in nyc don’t charge those prices. Magnolia, Little Cupcake are like $8-$11 for a slice of cake.
For a little it more, you can buy a loaf of bread, a jar peanut butter and a jar of preserves and make 12 sandwiches.

Crab cakes in my area are readymade for just $5 for 5 patties, add another $2 and you can turn them into sliders. Ingredients for Broccoli quiche $6, serves 8. So under $30, I could eat luxery food for several days in a row.
Are Doctors so expensive in USA that people dare not go to see?
I went down the rabbit hole of looking at their Indiana web site and menu prices. Strangely enough the price increase from the two other locations in Indiana to the Disney one isn't that bad. (Mind you the prices at the Indiana stores are way too high to begin with.) The pictures for their main store do give the impression of a place I would never step inside. When the pretentious descriptions of your menu items exceeds some Michelin star fine dining you know it is going to be good. I have never heard Crystal Hot Sauce granted the prominence and description used on the menu. I am still shocked that your telling me the $2 upcharge for Tillamook cheese, the fancy Maille mustard both of which I can buy in my local grocery store, but the butter is just salted European with no country of origin or creamery.
Mr. Krabs would be proud.
Stop buying from the house of mouse
I just laugh at Disney nowadays. I haven't been there since March 2020 (just before the pandemic that China says doesn't exist), and I have no desire to go back to Disney.
@@TerryKitts Sweet N Sour sniffles.
Did u kill Neon?
You cannot "kill" Neon. The tenth element on the periodic table was never alive.
HIGH PRICES!? at Disney?! Noooo 😱
It’s a cakewalk! 🎂
Wish Disney World still had Pleasure Island with all the clubs.
I would love to see a Rule 34 Club, so I could enjoy the Disney princesses in a (ahem) more mature environment.
It would be worth the premium price. Disney already has a Club 33. Make Club 34 happen, Iger.
@@TerryKitts 👍
I misheard you, I thought I heard: ham and Brie sandwich.... My mind started wandering to dark places.
Glad he finally went to the doctor most likely at your insistence Geeky. As a guy I know we don’t go by our own free will.
Hope Kneon feels better, really. Now I feel bad about the "taters" joke 😢
They have every right to price themselves out of business.
Get well soon Kneon.
When you lower prices on items A and B but raise prices on items C and D to cover the loss. You really haven't lowered your prices at all.
Supply and demand. Pull back on spending for a product, the price will eventually fall.
But if Iger gets the wealthy target demographic he wants, then this restaurant could do quite well. Wealthy people like to flaunt their wealth. It's comparable to "keeping up with the Jones's" (trying to out-do your next door neighbor).
It's a "rich people" thing... you wouldn't understand. Probably.
Something is going around im sick and i never get sick feel better Neon
In the words of Sam Vimes :"I was talking about policing, not alcohol. There's lots of people will help you with the alcohol business, but there's no one out there arranging little meetings where you can stand up and say, "My name is Sam and I'm a really suspicious b*st*rd.”
So I would not be shocked if you took both menus, and added up the total cost of each one, minus the charcuterie board, the two totals might be very close together.
Most of the price drops were a penny, and there was still some cheeky af increases.
4 bucks for A slice of toast? Guessing that's one slice cut in half. Now I live in the UK so had to look this up, but on average a loaf of bread is $2.50. Here I get about 8 sandwiches , nine if I use the ends, from a cheap 75p loaf, assuming you get the same amount of slices in the U.S as we get here, that's 16 slices of bread.
Times that by 4 equals $64 from one $2.50 loaf. Not counting the butter and jam, as I used to work in a Cafe, and they basically cost pennies.
There is a big difference between marking up to make a profit , and marking up just to take the Mickey , pun slightly intended.
$4 for a slice of toast. Let's say they buy a loaf of bread at the market for $4 and get 20 usable slices from it. They make ($4 x 20)-$4 = $76 as pure profit on their investment of $4.
I would rather eat at a regular restaurant or a buffet than eating in that expensive bake shop. I will have a full meal and even probably cheaper that a slice of cake from that place.
The prices are expensive for the same reason Victoria & Albert's is expensive... to keep the common people OUT. This sort of restaurant exists because wealthy people demand it. New York City is chock full of super expensive restaurants, and no one complains (well, no one worth mentioning, anyway). When rich people want to impress other rich people, these expensive restaurants are where they go. Of course, some influencers get in, their cost being paid by their sponsors. Disney is famous for this. Iger knows the audience he's going for... it's the whales, not the poor.
Who’s the chef at this place? Without a name attached I fail to see how this business model works.
It's a store with locations outside of Disney, sort of like a franchise. Just like Gideon's Bakehouse at Disney Springs.
You can buy two large pizzas for 30$, and they're selling a sandwich for 15$...
As a Southerner, I wouldn’t even pay 1 cent for what I imagine is their version of gumbo. 😂 I saw their recipe video on Valliant Renegade - who is a NOLA boy - and let’s just say, Disney’s recipe might launch another Civil War.
And no, I was NOT prepared for those prices.
I tried the Disney version of beignets at the French Quarter Resort. They were awful, air-filled, dry pastries, covers with powdered sugar. Nothing like a real beignet. I can't imagine how badly they would screw up gumbo. I... I don't want to think about it.🤮
Yes people going to complaining that the prices is way too high, but they still going buy it anyway cuz why? It's Disney!
Who is going to a cake shop for soup and salad? Or steak Lol
This is hilarious
What the Disney company understands is that just because a person is rich doesn't mean they want to over spend on food at a theme park.
@thephantomoftheparadise5666 says - "What the Disney company understands is that just because a person is rich doesn't mean they want to over spend on food at a theme park".
You really think Disney understands that? Really? I realize you were just born yesterday, but... REALLY???🤔
Bro, does that mean they will reenact the beheading of Royalty instead of replace it with Bob Eiger getting the fuck out of Disney
So, it's a bougie restaurant from another part of the country and decided to open in WDW. They probably raised their normal prices since WDW charges a lot of rent to these types of restaurants (especially because they are competing with the Disney-owned ones). Hate to say it, but since it's a bougie restaurant, you fools who go have to pay. Most of the stuff on the menu, I can make. You probably can too. I just ate a scrambled egg. It didn't cost me to have "any style" eggs for $17. It was less than 50 cents for that egg I ate.
One can go to a bakery located outside of the Disney areas & get better bang for your buck. & they're wondering why attendant is down. You can only get more blood outta the rocks for so long before they dry up & even the folks with the big bucks there's taking to attract even go elsewhere.
& again, Godspeed on Kneon getting better. I only hope it's not serious.
They are down because the recent Disney stuff has kinda killed the illusion. Universal is still better for boys. And at these prices, people can travel to A LOT of different places.
For a long time Disney was a mix of crazy upgrades but lots of room for others to have a nice if not cheap vacay. Now it's getting to be that only the rich can have fun. But the rich can also go elsewhere.
And thank you, @dwood78part23, for getting Kneon's name right. All the idiots have been spelling it "Neon" because that's what it sounds like.
I hope Neon didnt accept some new disney terms of service and became a human centipad.
Google Translate is NOT your friend. It took a perfectly good comment, and translated it into this nonsensical garbage statement.
Please STOP using Google Translate. It makes your comments look like they were written by a moron. Just stop.
Neon cannot accept anything. Neon is the tenth element on the periodic table.
Hope he's feeling better soon....
So, pack your own lunch
And carry that lunch around with you in the terrible Florida heat? Be careful what you pack in that lunch, or you WILL regret it later.🤮
I suggest cereal in zip-loc bags. Cereal stands up to the Florida heat well. Granola is filling, while Capt Crunch can give you that burst of energy you need to endure the endless stand-by lines for the Disney rides. No rule says you have to pick one cereal. Bring your favorites with you.
@@TerryKitts I was thinking of leaving it packed in a cooler in the car, RV or hotel fridge or something like that.
The cereal is a good idea though! Other dry snacks too, like nuts, jerky or trail mix.
Did they really walk back when they barely moved an inch.
It's a middle finger toward the complainers who forced them to reduce SOME of their prices. "HA HA, one cent off... suck THAT, crybabies".
"NO charcuterie board for you whiny babies. And we're making the portion sizes smaller, too ! HA HA HA". I... don't feel welcome there.
You mean adding a silent e to the menu item does not justify jacking up the prices by $20?
Perfectly priced for Disney Cultists who will buy anything as long as it's associated with Mickey Mouse.
The manager changed it right quick after getting wind of the complaints. They know that no one will buy this. The very rich wouldn’t go there. They’d go to a much fancier place. The average family wouldn’t go there since competition plenty.
So this is the US right, are they also expecting tips with those prices as well?
My friend went during the Star Wars celebrations a few years back, and Disney were charging $15 for a single slice of Darth Vader cake!
What the hell are those prices..?
Last time I was this early, the Alphabet Mafia pretended to not like peedos.
Well lets hope the business goes belly up in a few months
Wasn’t there a peanut butter sandwich with $$ raspberry preserves $$
Walked back, or where dragged kicking and screaming the whole way... so mature Bob. 0~o With Parks its Captive pricing, (you are the captive) and have no recourse on the Park's grounds. Our State Fair did much the same by lock stepping the vendors to the Fair board's insane prices such as $5.00 for a 20-oz. fountain soda. The dumb side of this you need only get a hand stamp at the gate and walk literally 35-yards across the road to 15 different sit-down restaurants and quick food shops like Taco Bell. and the like
Well this is really sad then.
