"Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
Just saw this on AllEars:
The holiday surcharge for buffet and character meals around the World is returning, as previously announced. Prices for meals during these dates will be several dollars more per person than at other times of the year. The dates affected are April 5 - April 18, 2009, and May 24 - July 11, 2009. For example, at the Magic Kingdom's Crystal Palace, prices will be as follows: Breakfast: $22.99/Guest (10 and older)--$12.99/Guest (3-9) (regularly $18.99/$10.99) Lunch: $24.99/Guest (10 and older)--$13.99/Guest (3-9) (regularly $20.99/$11.99) Dinner: $34.99/Guest (10 and older)--$16.99 Guest (3-9) (regularly $28.99/$13.99)

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
Alright, I have to say that a part of this REALLY annoys me. I can understand charging a couple bucks more for a buffet meal that has a special holiday offering. Like when we were at 1900 Park Fare for Thanksgiving Day a couple years ago. It was a 'special menu' so I wouldn't mind a small extra charge. Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, heck even Saint Patrick's Day... fine. BUT, why in the world would they charge a 'holiday surcharge' EVERYDAY between the dates of May 24th-July 11th?
 Yes, Memorial Day is ONE DAY at the end of May and then the 4th of July but WHY charge a surcharge for the WHOLE month of June? Is the month of June a national holiday now that I am unaware of?  We always do the dining plan so I am not too concerned with individual meal prices BUT I just don't know how they get away with calling something a 'holiday surcharge' then charge the increased prices EVERYDAY for more than a month! ?

Those prices are just crazy! If we were going during that time we would skip some buffets because those prices are just too high. Why is June a holiday?

Truth be told, they NEED to call it "Seasonal Surcharge."

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
That was my first thought- the whole "season"??!? For the May-July you only have Memorial Day and 4th of July and Father's Day. Why not make it for the weekend of the holiday?
Those prices are way too much!

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
This makes ZERO sense. I can understand charging more for the holidays themselves (maybe a few days before or after....) but WHY A WHOLE MONTH????????
ANNOYING.

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
I just love how the entire month of June now qualifies for "holiday" price surcharges.
What holiday? Flag Day/Soundgod's Birthday? Flag Day isn't even a major holiday! Or are they just trying to scratch out some extra income during June when Florida schools just let out? I say the whole thing stinks like last week's diapers.

I'm seriously beginning to think about not renewing my AP in October and giving WDW a one year time out. Florida resident rates are almost as good as AP rates at the hotels anyway. And I can get a 3 day hopper for $120.

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
I to am outraged. This is so crazy. Is there a number that we can call and give them some feedback on how we feel about this. Maybe if enough people say something, maybe they will do something about it. Maybe!!

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
Guess they have to make up for the "buy four get three" somehow.

Re: "Holiday Surcharge" returning to WDW character meals & buffets
That is just not right. I hope people speak up by writing, e-mailing, or stopping into Guest Services.
