Parkside Market's $18 chicken sandwich (it's really good though!)

[@adidas4275]

We got burgers at Great Maple Eatery and it was $70 for 2. So this fits & honestly makes DCA food look very reasonably priced

[@rpeterson9770]

As someone who only goes once a year I will stick with my Plaza Inn chicken meal everytime! No need to leave the parks.

[@BellePullman]

I'm glad to see the Magic Band technology being used again! That tracker to bring your food to wherever you're sitting is something I first saw at Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom, a sprinkle of Disney magic! Slightly given away by them telling you to take your magic band off and place it in the centre of the table....

[@WoWDemondays]

$18 and no fries is diabolical!

[@FunAtDisney]

It is when you consider even in the parks all the burgers and chicken sandwiches come with fries for about $14 each. But at most fast-food places unless you get a combo you do not get fries. I may try it, but really for half the price I’d rather go to Chick-Fil-A !

A Monorail pilot told me on Saturday that it will be down for two and a half months so that they can redo the entrance to Downtown Disney.

[@Ashiitakai]

Disney World guests have also experienced similar sticker shock recently with the menu offerings at the recently opened Cake Bake Shop - outrageous prices on property but outside the park (Epcot).

[@yvettechristensen8315]

Very interesting. Some of the drinks sound tasty. I have to say though, that breakfast at The Tavern has never disappointed us.

[@JAM3Hall]

@16:25 David you didn't even touch bases on Vista's Mountain Climb for $70. I don't drink Bourbon, but $70 for what looks to be a 3oz flight seems quite expensive! Must be some pretty good stuff, lol! The Parkside Market area does look very nice though.

[@FunAtDisney]

The Tavern at Earl’s is actually very reasonably priced. Their Prime Rib is $38 - I have had it a couple times and I was very impressed, and I would say a good $10-$20 less than getting a large serving of prime rib at some steak house. The cocktails at Parkside are expensive but in-line with what you would pay at any DTD or hotel place.

[@BrianY]

Shouldn't "Seoul" Sister be Korean food, as opposed to Vietnamese?

[@freshbakedpresents]

it is. i misspoke.

[@BrianY]

@@freshbakedpresents Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@bigheadtales]

It's not just the food, pricing at Disney has become obscene all around. It's not for regular people anymore.

[@Dsnyqueen55]

Thx David great report i love the break down and comparison of other places and pricing it looks nice seoul sister and sip and sonder were ok pricing food looks delicious gg chicken no way i would rather go somewhere to get sides at same price feel like im getting more for my money it does look like a cool vibe and im with you on sitting by the monorail thats a vibe in itself thx for breaking it down with all the details thats whyi love you i learn all the ins and outs with you thx again have a good day too and b safe out there yourself love you guys ❤

[@thebluetarp]

I'm looking at the vista Bar menu and the drinks are $18 and $20, pretty common these days. It sucks that we are getting used to these prices. But what blows me away here is the zero proof cocktails are 12.00 each

[@aiver.a]

This is probably why we all go to DCA for lunch and or dinner lol. Food is good prices are ok.

[@ultimatemaitai]

“Angostura” is Angostura Bitters, a common ingredient for Old Fashioned cocktails and similar drinks such as the smoked one at Parkside.

[@Lisa-fs5ox]

Thanks Dave for doing this. Weʻre coming in May and trying not to spend so much on food. So far my best tasting well priced place looks like Bengal BBQ.

[@downtownblue]

I agree the price is eyewateringly high. It's perhaps more apt to compare GG's Parkside to GG's elsewhere. A chicken sandwich at GG's in Chicago is $13.50, and, adjusting for cost of living differences, about $14.31. So there's a $3.69 park premium (+25%). And rent in The Loop in Chicago is probably just as bad as Disney.

[@thatbigblackguychannel2576]

The chicken sandwiches at their Chicago location are $13.50

[@bernardteuben498]

Mouse Tax, the mouse is great at putting that big white hand in your pocket..

[@PhoenixVic21]

Those prices are crazy and it's gotta be a really good sandwich to be that price without fries. Also why is that one drink $70?!

[@dialmstyle]

It looks beautiful, but the food prices are insane. I’ll pick up a sandwich from Sprouts on my way in!

[@ultimatemaitai]

Bottled beer is 50¢ more at Trader Sam's. Prices at Vista are competitive with Sam's (also a vibe)

[@michaelthomas4693]

Hmm. I'm up in the Bay Area and spend in the low 20s at Five Guys (maybe a better comparison than Carl's Jr), but that is with fries and a drink. This would be closer to $30. I could see $25, but $30 sounds too high to me.

[@MelissaAndAlex]

Prices in Disneyland have been fair for awhile now. Panera bread wants ten bucks for a fricken bowl of soup

[@People_of_the_Mouse]

Because they have the table trackers they can very easily use robots to deliver the food. And yes certain robot models can independently use the elevator.

[@dapper-Dan]

Black Tap and Ballast Point are in the $22-$24 range and it includes fries. The presentation is also terrible at Parkside in the fast food wrapper. They can’t put it in a basket?

[@galactichero90]

It's not just the rent, Disney is also getting 30% of every sale on DTD property.

[@jeffreyh7951]

Hey Fresh Baked!!

[@DerrickNielsen-ey7dp]

Those prices are ridiculous, and yet, people will still pay it and support them.

[@laurahitchman12]

I'm sure the rent is ridiculous. CA minimum wage just went up to $16.50, so the cost of a table runner at quick service is pricey. Let's not even talk about the cost of food for restaurants!

[@maxmole]

Well this makes sense why Clydes closed.

[@oleg1ch]

The Earl of Sandwich tavern has similar pricing model IMO - very high for items. Meals - but quite high.

[@AllisonPerryart]

Seoul Sister is Korean food, BTW - not Vietnamese

[@keyhudg]

What happens if u can't find a table

[@ultimaratioregum3522]

Those prices actually make me think "Five-Guys"

[@memawh57]

At those prices I will be on the outside looking in. No way will I pay that. I will continue walking across harbor and going to McDonalds.

[@necrotwoshoes]

It looks as good as a Popeye's or Chick Fil'a chicken sandwich, just double the price!

[@adidas4275]

Popeyes isn’t $7 a sandwich it is basically $10

[@johnecampos]

Seoul is in South Korea not Vietnam.

[@FunAtDisney]

I still don’t get how the Original Fried Chicken sandwich comes with spicy mayo and hot honey, but the “Sweet and Spicy” sandwich had nothing sweet and nothing spicy! What’s up with that????

[@ItsameBS]

All planned by Disney as their leasing fees are crazy.

[@ALettertoElyse10]

I love how you use the Bay Area reference “hella” 😂

[@lifeofafred99]

How many thumbnails this guy got?!?

[@danieladelgado1962]

Hi how are you doing today

[@vrodtrippin]

Unfortunately not a surprise on the food prices. Chicken is the 1 I think is the most outrageous. Sandwich without a side that with tax is over $20 is too much. Across the board food service in California is astronomical. I think if the sandwich price went down about $3 it would be more in line to expectation. I feel bad for families wanting to ho to Disneyland.

[@mushieslushie]

I have been telling my sister that 'hella' has migrated from norcal, but she doesn't believe me. Also, fries have become one of the worst price gouge food items. It's just fried potatoes. If they arent included as part of a meal, i would rather order a double sandwich, additional chicken strips (6 instead of 4), or whatever at a much better value than a single sandwich and fries.

[@johnhinojos1907]

When you look at the original GG's Chicken Shop the prices for the chicken sandwich is $13.50. The additional $4.50 is the difference for being is Downtown Disney. However, they are known for the quality of the food where I find the food in the Parks too bad fast food quality. I will gladly pay more for the quality.

[@jsuperk391]

I'll eat elsewhere. 5 dollar for long ring a bell

[@bvh94117]

these pricepoints are not welcoming to the typical American working class family

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked. David, this is new and a great way for you to show and give us your thoughts on "Parkside Mkt," more please. I can see FreshBaked, every Friday, staff drinks upstairs in the Vista Bar from midday till late, the weekend starts here. Cheers, Chris Perry.
