Disney World Isn't Going to Get Any Cheaper Anytime Soon

When Disney (NYSE: DIS) announced pricing for its new Space 220 restaurant, a richly themed dining experience set in a space station overlooking panoramic projections of Earth, social media let the House of Mouse have it. Who would pay $55 for a two-course lunch or $79 for a three-course dinner inside a theme park?

We now have the answer. Disney made Space 220 reservations available on Monday morning, and within minutes the first 60 days of availability were sold out. Given the limited daily capacity of Space 220 and the unique nature of the experience (complete with a theatrical pre-show liftoff), Disney apparently left money on the table here. It could've easily charged $75 for lunch and $99 for dinner, if not more, and still filled up.

Theme park fans aren't going to like it, but Disney World prices are going to be heading higher. Shareholders won't mind as much, of course.
