Oh my gosh, the last reasonably priced item at the Fort has just gone off the rails. It used to be you could get propane filled at the Meadows for under $20 for a 20lb tank.

Well that is gone. It is now $1.99 a pound, so a 20 lb propane tank is more than $40.00 to have it filled.

So fill your tanks before you get to the Fort, or if you run out, put the tank in your tow vehicle and go find a tank exchange or refill place off property.

This is shocking news. Disney to charge an outrageous price for convenience. Who would have thought suck a thing

At one point in time, the upcharges for necessity groceries at the trading posts wasn't a lot more than driving off property to shop.  Disney wanted to keep you on property, happy and not make you drive for miles to get some eggs and milk. Heck beer used to be about a buck a can.

Somewhere a bean counter saw a captive audience and figured they could gouge the heck out of campers, especially ones without detachable tow vehicles they could leave in.

Gone are the good old days...

But isn't that "bean counter" a third party vendor?  Doesn't WDW just rent shelf space and run the food and beverage items through their registers.
