Overview

• The Orlando Sentinel’s annual compilation shows the total cost to buy one of every festival passport item fell to $1,468.05 from $1,656.51 year over year, an 11.3% drop.
• Reporters note the decline likely stems from a smaller assortment of offerings rather than across-the-board price cuts.
• The Sentinel’s method includes alcohol and smaller portion sizes when available but does not track the total number of items, limiting direct price-to-price comparisons.
• Recent coverage points to separate price hikes elsewhere, including increases at roughly 70 Disneyland restaurants and at select Disney World eateries.
• EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival runs through November 22, with observers watching guest response and any adjustments to menus or pricing.
