  • The drink has also dropped in price from $8 to $6.50.

Dinner

Interestingly, while the above changes have been made to the breakfast and lunch menus, the only menu that still appears on Disney’s website online is the dinner menu. We’ll keep an eye out for updates on that.

At the moment, the current online dinner menu shows that it is priced at $63 per adult and $41 per child. It lists the entrees and desserts available.

It also lists the beverages available…

…including some alcoholic ones.

It looks like some of the same changes noted above have been made here. For example, the character drink is also described here as having the Cotton Candy flavor and is priced at $6.50. Voss water doesn’t appear on the menu, and it looks like several of the other changes noted above have been made to the dinner menu.

Of course, things can continue to change, so be sure to check back for updates!
