History

Historical Context

In October 1973 OAPEC announced an oil embargo that pushed the price of a barrel from about $3 to nearly $12, a four-fold jump that spurred U.S. inflation. The shock forced many firms, including Disney’s parks, to raise ticket and food prices in the mid-1970s. Today, in July 2026 Disneyland is again increasing snack prices by 8%, echoing the same energy-driven cost pressures.
