Disney World's Magic Kingdom soda prices

[Wendy]

The price of soda has increased slightly at all locations throughout the Magic Kingdom as follows:


Regular size - $2.19 to $2.59
Large size - $2.49 to $2.89


It seems that at the moment, these price increases are only at the Magic Kingdom, but since Disney likes to keep their prices the same, I guess it won't be long until they are increased at all parks and resorts.

I wouldn't necessarily call an 18% increase small. I wonder if they'll increase the price of bottled water as well?

[Wendy]

I've not heard anything yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post it here :)

I remember when you bought a cup and got free refills from any cart throughout the parks - those were the days :sigh:

[Shellyamc]

Wow..that doesn't seem small.:unsure:

I am glad we are bringing a ton of drinks with us. Hopefully that will cut down on what we need in between meals :yes:

[Johnie]

You CAN still go to the counter service places and ask for a cup of ice water. THis is FREE. I know some don't like the taste of FL water but I've never noticed anything weird.

[Tink]

We don't care for the taste of the water in the parks. We have recently tried the Britta water bottles. They make a huge difference. Makes the water from the fountains quite drinkable.

I reckon that is really mean of Disney in these "belt tightening" times, especially as Coke reputedly provide their products foc to Disney. :madflames:

Completely agree. Not a small increase especially for families over the course of a whole holiday and utterly unnecessary as far as I'm concerned. Great way to earn millions more in profit with the merest twitch of a pen though.

last year i took in bottles of water that we topped up around the parks. i never brought a single drink. it makes it just too expensive. i had frozen capri drinks in the car so we had coolish drinks when we got back to the car. i cant imagine how much money this saved! its a shame you have to do this though, im sure if they kept the prices lower more families would buy more:yes:

We bought bottled water and soda at Walmart for a fraction of Disney prices and took them into the parks with us. Only Disney drink we bought was with lunch.

We drank a lot with the heat on our recent trip. We bought the refillable mugs at SW and BG which saved us quite a bit at 95cents a refill (AP discount)

How shocked was I when we asked about the refillable mugs at the Disney parks and found they didn't do them!

We were thinking the same thing!

I know this forces people to buy drinks in the park, but it also forces people to bring in a lot of drinks. I know if I could get a refillable mug for the parks, I wouldn't bother bringing 3 flats of water with me :yes: I think Disney is really missing out here.

We only drink bottled water in the parks, we only have diet coke when we have something to eat.
