Disney World Fans Are Freaking Out Over Prices Again, And A $22 Dollar Slice Of Cake Is Involved

As someone who has spent countless hours and dollars exploring the magical realms of Disney World, I must admit that the latest pricing revelations for the upcoming Cake Bake Shop have left me slightly flabbergasted. It’s no secret that theme park prices can be steep, but this new addition seems to be taking the cake (pun intended) when it comes to eye-watering expenses.


It’s now customary to assume that prices at Disney World will be quite steep. Yearly price hikes in Disney World are almost routine, and even everyday items cost more there than they do elsewhere. However, the Cake Bake Shop restaurant and bakery, one of the latest additions to Disney World, stands out as exceptionally expensive. In fact, it’s quite surprising, especially when you consider the cost of a slice of cake there, which is around $22.

Initially planned to debut on Disney World’s Boardwalk this year, The Cake Bake Shop has faced unexpected delays in construction, pushing its grand opening to early 2025. As part of the renovation process, the restaurant’s menu is now displayed outside, catching the attention of Disney enthusiasts who are taken aback by the high prices. A meal here could set you back $26 for eggs, $14 for fries, and slices of cake starting at $22. Here’s a link to an X post showcasing the menu: [X post link]

As a theme park enthusiast, I must admit that the costs of certain food items at popular parks like Disneyland and Dollywood can be quite steep – a $100 sandwich and a $200+ apple pie, for instance. However, it’s important to note that these dishes are intended to serve more than just one person.

As a gamer, I get it when folks are surprised by the prices of food in Disney World. But let’s face it, we’re not just paying for a meal; we’re also shelling out for an unforgettable experience. Sometimes, those meals are unique dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Other times, it’s about the fact that even standard items will cost more here compared to your local store because, well, they can be. So, when I splurge on a Coke from one of those carts in Epcot, I know I’m paying a premium, and I’m okay with that. Here’s another thought: [Link to another post]

At The Cake Bake Shop in Disney World, prices have been significantly inflated. A Coke at many Disney World spots will set you back about $4, which is more than what you’d usually pay elsewhere. However, the bakery sets its price for pastries at around $8, according to their menu. This pricing seems particularly shocking given that almost everything there costs around 40% more than what other Cake Bake Shop locations charge for similar items on their menu. While it’s not surprising that prices increase in Disney World, the magnitude of this hike is astonishing.

It’s reasonable to assume that people are willing to pay these prices given they’ve been listed. After all, The Cake Bake Shop has garnered some recognition, even though it’s more of a local spot. Consequently, many who wouldn’t normally visit will have an opportunity at the Disney World location. However, considering the casual ambiance of the place, the meal could be relatively pricey.

To clarify, let me make it clear that I have a deep fondness for delicious food, and I’ve invested quite a bit of money in it during my visits to Disney Parks. My passion, however, lies in discovering the top culinary experiences at Walt Disney World. One day, I dream of dining at Victoria and Albert’s, a renowned establishment that comes with a substantial price tag. I must admit, the rumors about the quality of their menu are intriguing, so perhaps we’ll discover next year whether it justifies the cost.
