Price increases are, unfortunately, a common Disney World trend.
EPCOT
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival begins on August 28th, 2025, and will run through November 22nd, 2025. This festival brings tons of amazing small bites, sips, and so much cheese! This festival is one of our favorites, but it’s going to cost you more in 2025.
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is kicking off soon! We finally got a full look at the menus coming to the festival, and we noticed one trend that was a little disappointing. There are several price increases coming to lots of our favorite dishes. First, the Canada Booth was a price hike victim.

The favorite Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup served with a pretzel roll is going from $6.00 to $6.25. Plus, the Filet Mignon with mushrooms, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs mashed potatoes, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs butter will raise from $9.75 to $10.

These are just a few of the price increases hitting the Food and Wine festival this year. While it might only be a few cents each time, it can add up over a day of dining in EPCOT! We’re never happy to see a price increase, especially on our favorite bites! As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news and updates.

Disney shows how inelastic demand works in the real world. Normally, when prices go up, demand goes down. But when a product has few substitutes and strong brand loyalty, people keep buying even at higher prices.
That is why Disney’s parks stay near capacity despite rising ticket and food costs. Even when portions shrink, like a wine pour reduced from 5 ounces to 3, most guests still pay. The overall experience is viewed as worth it, so small losses in value do not stop the purchase.
Some guests, such as me, a former annual passholders, walk away, but the majority do not. As long as millions keep coming, Disney can raise prices and expand profits.
From an economics view, change only comes when enough consumers collectively resist. Until then, Disney benefits from selling a product that feels both essential and unique to families who see it as an experience they cannot replace.
I am now laughing at Bob Iger and Josh DAmaro. They acknowledge that they may have overpriced the Disney park experience for most families and address the problem by raising prices.
Unfortunately, it is just getting too expensive to go to Disney any more. The going multiple times in a single year is being replaced by one visit every 5 years. Too bad, it was the best back in the 1990’s when Michael Eisner Rand the show. Have not been inside any of the parks since before Covid.
