Character dining price increase

This has been something that has bothered me for a while, when I pay as much as I do to get into the parks, I expect the price of food to be at least normal if not a good deal, but now we are paying $14 dollars for a cheeseburger and Garden Grill can be $59 a person before tax and gratuity. That is half the price of an annual pass for a family of four to sit down to a dinner. I just don't remember food being so expensive in the 90's even for inside a park. Am I just getting old, does everyone else consider this reasonable?

Don’t get me started on why we have to tip when Disney is making billions. Seriously the cost of the ticket is high. The meal is average and overpriced and now I have to subsidize the labor while Disney reports record earnings and profits!!!!

I don’t mind tipping. It’s ingrained into our society but this is just a company taking advantage of it to pay servers less than they are worth.

That's what I hate about very popular places raising the prices, sometimes you have to but almost everything. Aren't they regulated?
