For me, if they added in food discounts at those counter service locations in the park, I'd be happy. There's profit and then there's greed. $4 for a cup of soda, when the cost to produce one with all materials is ~$0.25 is ridiculous.
This is not unique to Disney. Most pricing is not done as a markup (say 10% over the cost). Most pricing is based on what consumers are willing to pay. Have you ever gone to a restaurant (not at Disney) and paid $5 for your meal? Probably not even though that's what the cost of the materials probably are. I've actually always felt Disney's prices were more than reasonable considering where you are purchasing. If I go to a hockey game, or a concert, I'm easily paying $20 for a hotdog, a small fry, and a medium coke.
