Disney's Priciest Shake: Fans Slam $24 Dessert

Disney World is currently facing significant public backlash due to a series of substantial price increases across its offerings.

Most recently, the opening of a dessert eatery called Crazyshake by Black Tap at Disney Springs has drawn particular ire, with a Special Edition Mickey Shake priced at $24. This has led to widespread criticism on social media, with many finding the cost of the elaborate milkshake excessive.

These high prices for specialty treats coincide with other significant price hikes at the theme park. By 2026, a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom is projected to cost over $200 during peak dates, a stark increase from a decade prior. Furthermore, the cost to ship merchandise purchased within the parks has surged by 150%, from a $40 cap to $99.99.

Beyond milkshakes and tickets, other price adjustments include a $1 increase for refillable mugs and a rise in parking fees. Fans have also noted past increases on everyday food items and merchandise, contributing to a growing perception of unaffordability. These ongoing price adjustments, coupled with the elimination of some previously offered perks, have fueled considerable discontent among Disney patrons.
