I think this topic has been posted already but I couldn't seem to find it.

Is it true that Beaver Tails are no longer available in the Canadian pavilion in EPCOT? Please, somebody say it isn't so!

Yeah, I remember the topic too. As I recall, they weren't making a sufficient profit on them so they had to discontinue :(

I actually recently contacted the company and they confirmed that they will not be back at EPCOT:mad:

But wait!! You are in Peterborough???!!!!! There is a Beaver Tail booth at the Toronto Zoo!!!!! We had one about a month ago!!!!! I just went to their website and it says there is a mobile beaver tails in the Peterborough area for fairs,festivals & events. I know they were at the Orono fair last year.

yes, I contacted the Beavertails company when I first saw this and they said that they had been unable to agree on a new contract with Disney. It Is unfortunate

It had to do with the Dining Plan. The snack credit is/was only up to $4. Beaver Tails sold for $5-6. So people were not using snack credits to get them. They were going elsewhere to get snacks. The profit factor disappeared and so did they. So if you need to point a finger at something, point at the DDP.

I agree that this is a likely component but it may be a bit more complicated. The price for a snack was a bit high when you could get other food around for similar prices. Since another post indicated that Beavertails couldn't re-negotiate a contract, it would seem that they couldn't get a low enough concession cost with Disney to be able to lower the price of the snack.
