Disney's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Christine McCarthy made some comments on the most recent Walt Disney Company earnings call in regards to the food offerings at the Disney Theme Parks. She said they intend to reduce portion sizes to combat the current higher than average inflation and to reduce operating cost, rather than just increase prices across the board.
I was talking to our parks senior team about things that we could do there. There are lots of things that are worth talking about. We can adjust suppliers. We can substitute products. We can cut portion size which is probably good for some people's waistlines. We can look at pricing where necessary. We aren't going to go just straight across and increase prices. We're going to try to get the algorithm right to cut where we can and not necessarily do things the same way. We're producing technology to produce some of the operating cost. That gives us to absorb some inflation.
