You could have stayed at Disney longer and enjoyed the parks more if you had stayed at a cheaper resort. I'll never understand paying so much for a room you're just bathing and sleeping in.

You could take for people to Europe for that price. Disney has lost touch with reality and middle class and working class. People can absolutely not afford it. It’s a shame.

family 4 here! And going to Disney world on Thursday. So far we’ve spent $990 on round trip plane tickets. And $3,700 for a 5 day stay at Animation Resort (includes the 4 day tickets to all Disney parks for 4 people)

Let us know when you do a budget friendly trip I think people want to save.❤

Yes, Disney is expensive, but they made the trip expensive with the resort they stayed in, food, merch, genie and lighting lane, etc. It can be less pricey

6 years ago I was able to take my Daughter as a surprise for her 6th birthday and it was on a very limited budget. I drove from Oklahoma (Gas cost was 150 to get down there and drive around and coming back it was 120.) to Florida. We stayed at an Airbnb close to the park for Two days (140.) I managed to get us one day passes to One Park (275) for both of us. We brought a Stroller and had Food and Drinks inside it.(25) I did get "Fast Passes" but didn't know I needed to book the rides ahead of time and Cast Members just let us use them on any rides or attractions we wanted due to some rides being shut down.(65) I was able to buy her a small souvenir at the Park(30) and we found a bunch more at the Goodwill down the street for super cheap!(Micky Ears, Pins, Shirt's and Plushies. 22) When we got home our grand total was $865.00. for just the Disney side of the trip for one day. Mind you that's when gas was still closer to 2.00 a gallon and Disney hadn't raised their prices yet. If we were ever to go now (Which is financially impossible) it would cost closer to $2300.00. I'm thankful I took her when I did as a Single Mom I did the best I could and she always reminds me of it.

Booked our 1 week Disney vacation at Art of Animation 2 kids 2 adults, 4 park pass room and travel and tix $3000. Will probly do genie plus and we have a character dining experience everyday there so atleast another $2,000. That’s why we work hard though, anything for my two little girls.

Thanks for an honest price break down. It’s helpful!

I live in Florida we usually do a weekend thing go Friday check in to holiday inn or days in go in the pool, pay for tickets online 2 weeks prior for 1 day ticket hopper to jump from park to park for Saturday, and return home Sunday after check out! We pack lunch for park and share food so we don’t spend no where near that much and rental car is about 40 a day for us

And this is why the average American can't afford to go to Disney lol

I live in Orlando and I CANT believe people pay that much to go to Disney.

Fly cheaper- Frontier, park tickets, and stay off property and or stay at Disney Pop Resort (is cheaper compared to others) and it was about $2300

Guys! Plan your trip very well! We’re a family of 4. We bought 4 round trip plane tickets. Stayed at a lovely Disney resort 7 day and days 6 nights. Bought tickets to all 4 parks for 4 days, We rented a real nice car for 6 days. Spent $40 in gas in total! Its also very smart to grocery shop! We did 3Xs and took all our super healthy food back to our hotel, bought lots of water, fruits, veggies, salads, plant milks, and other healthy snacks) I also bought 3 super cute extra Disney shirts and other clothes for everyone else. We also enjoyed good food and drinks at the park, we bought our kids several Disney toys at the gift shops. We dined out for dinner for 6 nights straight. We even went to a beautiful beach in Tampa for a whole day! And only spent $5600 in total! Not bad at all! We’ll be going back for sure!❤

Same! Family of 4, 6 days, 4 parks, 7000

That's cheap when you have a family of 8💀

Pfft imagine that but with a family of 5 lol! That’s me😂

My parents are taking my family (5 people in total) to Disneyworld for 10 days and we live across the world! Now I’m wondering how they are going to afford it 😂

Coming from the UK We're staying in universal resort for 21 nights while also doing disney and other neaby parks. +halloween horror night and express pass. Flights+ Hotel+transfers= £2250. Park tickets to all theme parks =£1000. Halloween horror night+express=£220 (£3470)= $4409 USD. That is each so double that for both of us. Who knows how much food and drink will cost and how much stuff we'll get. Excited for the trip though

It's so depressing to think that I make that money in 3 years of work 😅😭

my family of 7 spent around the same amount for a week long disney trip it's all about where and how you spend your money🧐

For roughly half that you kind of got a 10-day Panama canal cruise!!!! I'm princess Cruise lines!! And all your food and drink is included!!!!!

PLEASE tell me where you got that Epcot looking purse

You did pretty well on food!

Wow, I haven't paid the last few times I went. The biggest splurge was when son in law included me on the 7 day family Disney trip. They had 7 kids under 18 and 2 over. He paid for a 2 bdrm suite and 2 single rooms at Wilderness Kingdom. They gave me the Master bedroom! Great kids. They paid for meal plans for everyone and other bells and whistles. I'm assuming that was way over $20k I wish it was more affordable.

I went to Disney in 2021 when Covid was still happening and stayed in a Disney vacation club room at animal kingdom. It was hella cheap cause of the timing and so were our flights. You can afford to do this cheap just have a pandemic going on

Folks, that cost is divided by 4, so abt $1900 for each adult. It's not cheap but definitely doable if you save for a few months.

Leavenworth Washington is 10 times better than Disneyland, and 100 times cheaper

In Paris we noticed that there is a big difference in quality of the food, the souvenirs, the waiting time in comparison with 6 years ago. We experienced on the whole a set back in quality and Disney magic. It is a shame because it is a lot of money you have to save to go to Disney.

My family went to Disney it was 13k minus food and planes for 5 people

4 days I’m staying for 2 weeks thanks for the advice >3

Doesn’t surprise at all! Actually some were very good deals!

And all I want to do is take my family of 4 to Disneyland. I sound bitter and I really shouldn’t be. They had an amazing vacation. That’s awesome. Sincerely.

About 2k per person not horrible

Fun, adventure is priceless.

Wife and I drove a 250$ rental car eco/hybrid coast us less than 100 to get to Florida from Iowa AND halfway back. Did an air bnb for 2 nights cheap as hell, went to Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom that was our main costs, we spent well under 1200 for 2 people that's also including our universal studios and Islands of adventure day as well.

That’s insane!

It’s weird to me how many people are saying you could’ve done this or that for that much money like no shit. You wanted to go to Disney so you went? If you wanted to go on a cruise or go to Europe, guess what? You would’ve gone lmfao. People are so stupid and think they’re so much smarter than others. When in reality you wanted to go on a nice trip to Disney with your friends and you didn’t wanna stay in the budget resorts. We’re going in August and 100% could’ve gone basically anywhere in the world for less but we wanted to go to Disney

My upcoming trip is $5,463.82 before discounted Disney gift cards for two people for 12 nights in a standard room at Pop Century. $1,100 on food in four days? Try $690.95 in 12 days. Half the people, but three times as long. I'm not eating everything just because it looks good. I don't need that much food. I have the money to pay for all of the food that catches my eye. I just choose to limit the amount of weight I put on. You are free to spend your money how you want, but there is no doubt you are overspending.

Grown people spending absorbent prices for a kid theme park

One literally needs to sell a kidney to afford a trip to Disney!

i cam drive to disney it only takes like two days

Me and 2 other adults literally are going for around $2,500 per person for like, 14 nights including Genie Plus, Memory Maker and staying at Art of Animation I cant even comprehend splurging on a Disney hotel only to get a rental car given all the transportation options lol

Doesn't surprise me. My last 7 day at a moderate resort for 4 people with park hopper, with airlines, and food was about 8,000. The Genie plus ripoff didn't exist yet.

Whoa! Walt Disney NEVER intended his resort to cost that much! He wanted a place that the average American family could enjoy AND AFFORD! For shame! For shame!

Wow, yes that’s a lot considering it was only 4 days. My husband and I came from the U.K. and spent £4500 for 2 weeks off property/economy BA flights/14 day Disney hopper tickets/3 day Universal tickets/1 night at Loews Royal Pacific/Ubers/Halloween Horror night/ 2 ILL each. Then £3k on food and merch. That’s around $8915 according to today’s conversion figures (we went October 2023) Looks like you had a fab time through.

When i was a kid i would go with my dad after work. Do a roller coaster or 3, get ice cream, look around the glass shop, then go home. Lived in irvine so we were close. Blows my find that a $20 trip has turned into realistically a $2000 to revisit my childhood.

Please do a 4 people but one day

Honesty, for less than $2K a person (including flights) on a splurge trip (these days) sounds pretty good. Back in 2016, I did a splurge trip with a friend, staying at Grand Floridian, but for 6 days for $1500pp

Good deal

Me and my wife r going in October of this year and it’s 4800. We paid for a dinning plan and memory maker. And we r staying at all star sports. It’s her first trip.. but I still think it’s outrageous that we have to pay that much just for two people

Yea what a splurge! Caviar and champagne everywhere!😂

Yeah I rather take a Royal Caribbean cruise for half that price and for 7 nights

Fly Hawaiian its nice the flight is always smooth and a lot of the people are nice you might see me working on one of your flights.

Since my sister works at one of the Disney hotels, we get 4 free passes, free parking, and 50% discounts off food and items. We either stay at a hotel (not often) or stay at her place. At most we spend like 200 bucks max We usually spend 100 dollars though. We don’t usually get lightning or genie+ not yet at least. But we still have the best time and go on a lot of rides

I am going next year but not just disney world going to see other things in Florida I wanted to go thus year but it sadly won't happen thus year now

$4-5k for my girlfriend and I. Southwest flights, pop century resort and tickets to parks seven days with food.

Disney sure has gotten expensive from its parks to it streaming services. Last time i went when i was 20, im almost 40 now. Glad they enjoy themselves, that’s what really counts

That’s much more expensive than it needs to be! We’re staying a 15 min drive from Disney for 2 weeks for $900. A clean modern hotel with a pool and on site IHOP, perfectly good to sleep at. An 8 day hopper+ Disney pass for both of us is $1300, car hire $300, return flights for both from the UK $1400. So $3900 for two whole weeks doesn’t seem too bad…

Not bad at all 😂 I was thinking 10k plus

how much is it for 5 pelpol

My husband and I are going in July and just our Disney tickets, flights, hotel and cruise alone cost us about $6,000. :o

I’ll never afford to go anywhere like this & I think I’m learning to except this.

Beet salad with dressed up canned beets… amazing

I spent for everything around 5-6k for a family of 5

That is not too bad for how Disney is priced plus if you didn’t have the AP with the discounts it would have been more.

I went to Disney in Tokyo, paid about 200 bucks

Very reasonable considering flights and everything included good job

I recommend all the Anne of Green Gables books, they get more Christian as you progress, especially when an important minister character is introduced

Like $1900 dollars a person. $500 more and you could go abroad to japan or thailand for like 2 weeks. Disney just isn't worth the price anymore, and the business analytics agree with that people are going less or not at all.

From my country it would take roughly 25k to go

$380 for genie+ which used to be free fast passes. That’s the part I may miss the past THE MOST. The system was working just fine. Now it’s a mess.

Woooow!!

I have never been to disney and with these prices i think ill never know it :(

Moved to Orlando

Staying at any Disney resort is like taking your money and setting it on fire. You won’t be there any time at all. Just long enough to hopefully bathe and sleep. Last time I went to Disney my wife and I and 4 kids stayed at a townhouse 15 minutes away from the parks and 4 nights only cost us $600. And we all had our own rooms.

People say Genie isn't worth it, but i totally disagree. For $380 including ILL's you more than likely double the rides you would have without it and waited a lot less for only a small portion of the overall trip value and in my opinion, that's probably the investment in the trip that's the most fun!

No!!! No!!!! Omgosh go to Switzerland, go to Alaska! Go to Italy almafi coast. Girl I’ve lived here in Orlando my whole life. I would never. Ever!!!!

2600$ for the resort is definitely a splurge me personally I’m taking the closet hotel to Disneyland with the cleanest ratings lol

Yikes! Do you think it was worth it?

Me and my family go to Disney every year and there is six kids and two adults and it cost just about $10,000 for tickets

7000 is crazy 😢

I would've swapped the lodging expense with the food expense.

What about car drive

Bro when I went we spent 300 dollars or more on merch in one day

That’s why I’ll never stay at the resort, get 2 hopper day tickets and get an Airbnb for half the prince of a room for a week

It’s crazy to think that there are people out there selling used cars for less than this trip.

Im going 6 people for 14 days

No, it doesn’t surprise me. But it does sadly because Disney is no longer available to everyone. Before the pandemic we were annual passholders living in Arkansas and will go at least twice a year and now we can only one time every two years.

You could go to Europe on that. No wonder people cannot afford rent.

If I had 8000$ to spend on a 4 day vacation, I’m 10000000% not spending it on a touristy place. I’m going somewhere for a change of scenery, getting a nice hotel room and spending most of my money on food and buying stuff.

We went in 2022 for mickeys not so scary halloween parade and stayed at POP for 5 days and spent 7K.

So that's roughly 2,000 per person. Last time I went to Disney World, it cost me a family of 3 $3,700.00 for 10 days flew from the West Coast. My airline ticket was $300.00 round trip on American Airlines. I got a deal at the grocery store. Buy 150.00 worth of food, get a round trip ticket for 300.00 to go anywhere in the US. Stayed at the Sports and Music resort. That's insanely overpriced compared to when I went.

I went to Disney World on a dime. I drive , we used the dining package when they had it And bought small souvenirs. One trip Cast members Dakota and Ashley made my son and my trip AMAZING. I will NEVER forget them. We weren't having a Good time Cast Members were RUDE to us and one even called me son a Retard. But Dakota and Ashley turned that day around. I NEVER want to go back but my son wants to try again. So maybe someday

So even with passholder you still have to pay your tickets. Pass holders is not unlimited entrance????!!😮

Short story shorter I need $10k ready to go in my pocket got it

Nope I went to California Disneyland for 2 days and universal studios 1 day cost me 8000 plus I drove but not bad for Disney World

I live 1 hrs 20 min away from disney every time I got I only have to pay for genie plus food and gas not only we disney and universal pass holders people pay way to much just for disney

Just wait till a family of 8 goes every year 😂

that is sooooo much cheaper than I thought it would be. Im planning my family reunion (centered around my daughter’s birthday since my family is a matriarchy and she is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter) and it’s coming out WAYYY cheaper than I thought.

Insane!!! Disney is way too much money now.😆
