Guests Say Pricey Disney World Restaurants Fall Short of Hype

Guest feedback highlights expensive prix-fixe menus; loss of character interactions; variable food standards.

Overview

  • Be Our Guest’s shift to all-prix-fixe dining at $72 per adult and removal of its Beast meet-and-greet drew criticism that its food no longer justifies the cost
  • The Cake Bake Shop on BoardWalk faced backlash for cake slices at $22 and savory items up to $36 after initial price cuts failed to address perceived quality issues
  • Space 220’s fixed-price menu was faulted by users who praised some appetizers but judged main courses uneven and overpriced
  • A Reddit thread started by user Due-Lawfulness7862 compiled hundreds of comments naming dozens of overhyped venues, with frequent mentions of 'Ohana, Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater and Chef Mickey's
  • Walt Disney World’s more than 400 eateries create widely varying experiences, making individual value judgments highly subjective and prone to amplification on social media
