The food truck frenzy has made its way all the way to the magic kingdom. Disneyland’s California Adventures is hosting a nightly ‘Glow Fest’ celebration, which will last until the end of August. Alongside psychedelic lights, loud music that’s been deemed appropriate for all ages, and glowing cocktails for adults/parents – two Anaheim-based food trucks have been making their own nightly appearance. The nightly festival has been receiving all sorts of mixed reviews but for us, the biggest controversy is the markup Disney is enforcing upon the trucks. The owner of Louks, a truck serving Greek specialties, which are certainly hard to find in LA, has to charge customers 8 dollars instead of the normal 5 for his gyros. And yes, Disney wants to receive a cut of his profit. Although this may come off as unfair to the owner, Disney is giving him a free parking spot right outside the festival entrance and tons of hungry customers allowing him to avoid the norm of feeding a meter all night or an inconsistent client base.
We’ll be keeping track of this situation to hopefully discover who is being helped out here, Disney or the food truck guy?
