Disney continues to pile on upcharge events to entice the well-heeled and keep boosting their bottom dollar.
The latest innovation will be released in July at Epcot. Guests can eat dessert, watch the IllumiNations show from a reserved viewing spot then ride the Frozen Ever After attraction.
The event will be offered on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this summer and will cost $79 per adult and $47 per child.
It carries a huge price boost over the IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party, which is reportedly being replaced by this event. The extra bucks will cover an exclusive stay in the park after closing to ride Frozen Ever After with no wait. Last year’s dessert party cost $49 for adults and $29 for children.
Yet another upcharge at Epcot offers a Day Cruise Around the World. The 25-foot pontoon boats leave midday from the Bayside Marina at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, cruises around Crescent Lake and then travels to World Showcase Lagoon.
Groups of up to 10 reserve the 60-minute trip for $149 plus tax and gratuity. The basic cruise includes bagged snacks and soft drinks but big spenders can bump up the cuisine by adding a private lunch.
