I remember when the food at the SEAS/PRKS was actually one of their strengths and arguably better than Disney and Universal. Unfortunately, the company has been steadily increasing prices and decreasing quality on basically everything since maybe 2018/2019. It seems to me like a ploy to get locals to upgrade to a pass and to make one-time guests pay for the discounts the pass holders receive. The solution for pass holders is to simply avoid buying anything in the parks unless it's free or close to free, but for everyone else I imagine that's not possible, and I worry that over time those bad experiences and word of mouth are going to erode the company's entire non-pass holder customer base.
