Disney sparks outrage with new $34 ‘craft’ burger and $22 glizzy of the month

The Happiest Place on Earth is giving parkgoers a serious case of heartburn — straight to their wallets.

Disney is serving up a whopping $34 burger and a $22 hot dog, leaving guests wondering if it’s also the priciest place on earth.

The eye-watering menu spotted at GCH Craftsman Bar, located inside Disney’s luxurious Grand Californian Hotel in Anaheim, sparking a feeding frenzy on Reddit this week after a visitor shared a photo of the outrageous prices.

The culinary highway robbery was brought to light on a Disneyland subreddit, in a post simply titled “$34 burger has arrived” featuring a snapshot of the menu on Tuesday. The thread racked up hundreds of blistering comments.

The so-called “Craftsman Burger” comes topped with cilantro-mint aioli, Sonoma sharp white cheddar, white onion, lettuce, pickles and tomato on a brioche bun, with a side of fries. But apparently, all those fancy fixings come at a steep price.

“Insane price point for a burger,” the original poster vented.

And the burger isn’t even the most offensive item on the menu, according to furious Disney fans. That honor goes to the $22 “Hot Dog of the Month,” a mystery dog must ask their server about to learn more.

“THAT’S your breaking point? Not the $22 hot dog or the $29 nachos?” one redditor fumed in the viral discussion, which attracted more than 1,000 upvotes.

“Literally!!!! I was like I’ll pay that. But a $22 HOT DOG?! I beg your finest pardon,” another responded.

One commenter joked that for $22, the hot dog of the month had better feed customers for a month. Someone else calculated that the same money could buy roughly 14 of Costco’s famous $1.50 hot dogs.

The sticker shock comes as Disney visitors have already been swallowing a steady diet of price increases. In July, Disney quietly hiked prices for more than 800 food and beverage items across 178 dining locations at its two Anaheim theme parks and resort hotels, according to the LA Times. Those increases averaged roughly 8%, with some snacks jumping as much as 25%.

Still, the latest menu controversy suggests that some visitors have reached their breaking point.
