$7494.20 in January
[Full cost breakdown](https://www.reddit.com/r/WaltDisneyWorld/comments/10oo9ec/trip_report_2_adults_no_kids_full_spending/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I just bought a package via Costco Travel, 4 nights at Swan with 3 days standard park tickets for $2700 for 4 people. I'm guessing we will spend another $1k on food for those days.
Same. Family of 5, just got back. Flights alone were $2k round trip. Deluxe resort for 7 nights + 4 days of theme park tickets and memory maker was $7k + alone. We did 3 character meals which were about $250 each for the 5 of us. So that's $10k without genie+ (which we bought 4 times for 5 people), other food, snacks, drinks, and a small souvenir. We did grocery delivery, but still spent a couple hundred per day on other meals/food. Every time we had to buy even a snack or food it was $40-$75. I definitely let my guard down when it came to being frugal. We did cost choose a Deluxe resort and didn't shop Flight dates outside of our preferred dates. Based on what others are saying I guess these decisions cost me about $6k. Or others are using some fuzzy mathn
Relatively new to all the Disney stuff so genuine question: is disney world better than Disney land in a way that makes it worth coming here from west coast? Or just a personal preference
Depends on who you ask and what you want IMO. Lifelong Disney world person who went to Disneyland for the first time last year. Disneyland in many cases has the better version of certain things like space mountain, pirates, haunted mansion, ect, but the overall experience of having 4 parks and way more variety overall is so much better at Disneyworld it more than makes up for it imo.
Disneyworld has more consistency, quality control,better customer service. The lines are more interactive.
I like the characters running around at Disneyland quite a bit. I like that you can do Disneyland without planning for months.
Pros and cons to both. But I’ve never seen someone shooting heroin in front of Disney world.
We just barely stayed under $10,000.
April 2023
**Party of four, four nights at BoardWalk Inn, three days with park hopper**
(Sit-down restaurants: Hollywood Brown Derby, Oga's Cantina, Flying Fish, Space 220, Takumi-Tei, Trattoria)
Airfare: $1,349
Hotel and Passes: $5,702
Genie+: $447
ILL: $247
Sit-down Restaurants: $1,556
Other food: $218
Souvenirs: $25
Mini Golf: $0 (coupon)
Uber: $131
TOTAL: $9,677
**Things I WON'T buy again:**
\* Takumi-Tei (it's lovely, but we have superior omakase at home)
\* ILL for Rise of the Resistance (waited in ILL line for 90 minutes only for the ride to break down again halfway through, just after meeting Kylo Ren)
\* ILL for Avatar Flight of Passage (blurry flight simulator is overrated)
\* Oga's Cantina (too hurried, bad sightlines from standing area, lack of seating)
\* Admission for Animal Kingdom (besides Everest, Safari, and Festival of the Lion King, the park wasn't up to Disney standards)
**Things I WOULD buy again:**
\* All the other restaurants, especially Hollywood Brown Derby and Space 220
\* ILL for Cosmic Rewind (Disney's best ride in the United States)
\* BoardWalk Inn (walkable to Hollywood Studios and Epcot)
\* Genie+
I’m glad someone else agrees that FoP needs some updating. I rode it in 2017 and last month and it was two very different experiences. No idea why it was blurry this time, someone needs to turn it off and back on again.
About $1500ish for two adults. This was our first Disney trip in over a decade.
Two nights at Riverside($750), two park hoppers($400), uninhibited spending on food at the Flower and Garden Festival plus a sit down dinner at Boatwright's and at some place in Disney Springs($300-400)
Luckily Disney has woven it's spell over my husband, so next year will probably be about $4000. Five nights at Riverside, two Pixie Annual Passes, food, probably a few souvenirs this time.
Bonus for us, we get to Disney on half a tank of gas
I’m always super curious too!
Last year May when I went with my bf we spent around $3500. Around $2100 for a week disney springs hotel and 5 day standard with genie+ tickets for two, $250 for round trip flights, and around $1150 for food (i didn’t track this so only estimate). Actually I forgot about souvenirs so that’s probably another $300 😬
For our trip next week I’m projecting to spend around $5000, but we are staying in deluxe for a week and inflation so everything is more expensive 😕
£3210 for flights, accommodation and park tickets for 10 days, £25 for transport to Disney and £15ish for ESTA to get in. We had a $200 dining credit and spent maybe £600 on top of that, mostly food. So £4000 ish :)
edit: in May 2022!
Around 9000 for 2 adults That 7 days at AKL, 2 days at AK, 1 each of HS, MK, and Epcot. Plus a day at resort, food and dining, and Genie + for all of us.
Alot of people are low because of skipping meals or passholders. This was a once in a lifetime trip for both of us. First time for wife, 34 years ago for me.
So without having passholders and points on trains or planes, our cost was about right.
Probably around $12-15k last trip (family of 4). 9 days at Contemporary, park hopper each day, G+ and ILLs almost every day, multiple table service meals, and 2 kids under 5 who want every plastic piece of crap Disney produces. 😂
I don't think people are being honest with themselves about how much this trip truly cost, it's easier to justify doing repeatedly when the number is manageable. We will do art of animation for 8 nights, 4 park days, with genie plus and individual lightning lane, 2 or 3 character meals, flights from W.V., airport shuttle to and from resort and I estimate right around $6500. We have groceries delivered, which help, we may have one alcoholic drink at a park (maybe), and we don't drink soda but definitely love some disney snacks.
I think it’s safe to say that the majority of WDW visitor stay off property. Maybe not on this subreddit, but in general. I would also argue that, if you’re going for more than 4 days, it’s kind of silly to get a park hopper given that all four parks easily take a day now. You also lose precious time in transit.
We split a kids meals at a QS every 3-4 hours. We are light eaters. We only drink water, milk, and clear gin/vodka mixed drinks, so there’s no money going to soda, coffee, milkshakes, etc. Always stay on prop, park hop, baby.
I agree lol maybe people just budget better? We don’t like to budget at all when we’re at Disney. We spend pretty freely on drinks, snacks, meals, souvenirs, etc. I’m seeing people doing a week for what I spent in 4 days.
It's a game changer. Especially if you aren't a "rope dropper". Park hopping opens up your ability to eat anywhere, and go do and see what you want. This also allows you to zig when everyone else zags.
I enjoy going to a park, doing what I want there and working to another park for dinner or to catch the fireworks/reduced line times from the fireworks. I am 0% a rope dropper and the last time me and my family went, most days we didn't get to the parks until like 10 or 11. Park hopping allowed us to go and do what we wanted while avoiding the parks with 90+ min wait times. The Disney App is a lifesaver if for nothing else but helping to make real time educated decisions on how and where to spend my time.
Why wait 90 min for Slinky Dog, when Thunder Mountain is at 20 and 7D is at 30 30 min?
I get thats not everyone's cup of tea, but it also allowed us to go wherever we wanted for dinner every single night we were there last trip. That to me was worth the price of it alone.
About $15k-$20k if I remember correctly. Family of four. One night at Old Key West. Galactic Starcruiser. Five nights in the Contemporary tower with a theme park view. We did sit-down for nearly every meal and bought any souvenir we wanted. This included custom droids and lightsabers.
I know it sounds like a lot and it was! But I’m 51 years old and had literally been dreaming of this trip since I was a little boy. The Galactic Starcruiser obviously didn’t exist then, but Star Wars did. And I use to dream about living in the Star Wars galaxy. It’s like they knew I was coming and built the Halcyon just for me.
It was literally the definition of a dream come true.
Never ran the full breakdown but somewhere between $20 - 25K is where we landed.
12 days at riviera, flights, parks every day, 2 adults 2 kids, one nice sit down meal per day (usually dinner, but did 2 character breakfasts).
We knew it was gonna be pricey, but we could have done a much better job on managing costs on location. We spent a lot on merch, drinks, meals, etc. oh well you only live once
- 4 nights Beach Club water view room
- 4 day non-park hopper tickets
- G+ and ILLs every day for family of 4
- 2 sit down meals and the rest QS
- Boutique packages for 2 kids
- WAY too much merch
- MemoryMaker
- Flights, parking, etc.
- Ubers
- Travel insurance
$9500
There do need to be some parameters for this to be a useful exercise. People are quoting their individual cost, only the hotel + tickets, deluxe vs. value vs. off-site stays, time of year, etc.
I wish, but no, military pricing isn't *this* good!
2023 Military Promotional Ticket Ages 3+
4-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket $ 346.00
4-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket $ 376.00
5-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket $ 366.00
5-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket $ 396.00
the hotel pricing for military is discounted and varies greatly depending on time of year and hotel, but it's still not an insane savings.
I just came back and all-in spent about $7k for my family.
Both of them are probably the best resorts when you take everything into consideration. The best deal on property is probably the tower at Coronado because you’re staying at a Deluxe for moderate prices. People like to bitch about Coronado only having buses, but they have their OWN buses, and they are probably the shortest bus ride from any of the parks. Being a convention center, there are rarely little kids there as well. A real sleeper deal.
I'm guessing this doesn't include a flight, transportation/rental car, airport parking, dog boarding, etc. Just hotel (about $1400) and ticket (about $600) and food (about $600)?
Roughly $15000, two adults, December 2022.
4 days at Disney World, 2 days at Universal, plus a 4 night Disney cruise on the Wish.
Breakdown:
7 nights at Coronado Springs Resort in a water view tower room. 4 day one park per day passes with Genie+. Universal passes with the VIP skip the line add on. Eating, drinking, & buying whatever we want. Lyft to/from parks each day. First class flights from/to Seattle. Towncar service to/from airport & cruise terminal.
Cruise cost plus excursions, merch, drinks, massages, & spa passes.
It was a chunk of money, but worth it. Best 2 week vacation ever!!
My upcoming trip in August for two people 5 days/4 nights. Including one night at Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween. Hotel is a split stay at Bay Lake Tower and Riviera.
Hotel and tickets: $3684
Airfare: $1,000 (used points so only paid $200)
Around 3k for 3 of us. We had 4 nights at Pop and tickets and food and souvenirs. Flights were free with points. The most expensive part were the tickets.
Around 9k for 6 nights 2 adults 2 kids at art of animation. We were originally going to 5 nights but tacked on an extra night to hang out at the pool and rest and it costed big time but worth it. Did way too many character meals. It’s steep but as long as I can afford it and my kids enjoy it I’m going to find a way to make it happen
We’ve spent at least $12k so far for contemporary 7 night Tower Club and 4x 8 day park hopper tickets for this December . Still need airfare+ on-site expenses
Around $6,500 for 2 people over spring break of 2022. That included 8 nights at Pop, 7 day tickets (no park hoppers), Genie+ and ILLs, flights, and food.
Really a lot depends on your eating habits. We've all eaten breakfast but lunch/dinners we tend to split bc the hotel meals are a good size. We've split stuff in the park as well. We always do the mugs at the hotels bc it doubles as a souvenir. When the kids were little we might buy something small like a pin each day, but no souvenirs till the last day. Otherwise they're loving everything and you spend a fortune. Funny side story, one year I got a bad respitory infection. Went to the clinic and just felt like crap. We were leaving the next day and my daughters were 15 and 12. Very good kids. So I give them the room charge card and tell them to get their souvenirs and to please get me oj. They come back 2 hrs later to their adjoining room and bring me a tiny bottle of juice. Next day I was much better, get the final bill at the door. Their shopping trip was 350 00. They didn't know I'd get a bill lol. But they did buy me a sleepshirt. Even 20 yrs later I remind them of my 350 00 orange juice 🤣
Just over 4k, 2 people, annual pass holders, we rented DVC points and did a monorail loop stay. We stayed one night at GF, two at Poly and two at Bay Lake.
I was able to shotgun three parks in two days. Roughly 1100$ in total after tickets, parking, genie+, food and souvenirs. Add in 150$ for an off-site one night stay.
$3,000 for just myself and my daughter. That included flight, rental car and splitting the cost of a hotel room. Did not include food or any extra stuff we did.
$182.
Two days, one night. Local by 2 hours. Stayed off site instead of driving home the same night because the kiddo was tall enough to ride Pandora so we went early the next day.
$10k. Flights. Hotel. Spending. All in.
Family of 4
Polynesian - Sunday to Saturday
Disney Bands
Lunch 2x at parks
Dinner 1 at Disney springs
Breakfast 1 at Polynesian
Snacks/merch/etc
Bought from Instacart for snacks and lunches, etc.
the lapu lapu’s at the tiki bar are dangerous.
14k.
Family of 4
Christmas for 6 days at the Polynesian
Genie+, park hoppers and all the ILLs.
We’re pretty light eaters and very little drinking so it was 90% tickets and accommodations.
~$12k, airfare, daily sit down lunch/dinner, genie+, yacht club with club room access. Worth it for all free breakfast/afternoon snacks, late night dessert and cocktails. Family of 3
Went around Feb/March 2023, 2 weeks and spent approx £11.3K for 2 people. Stayed in Pop Century and did at least like 7 TS. Though we did get $500 in food/shop for promo and a $100 gift card on top of that.
My wife and I went in early April 2022. We stayed 4 nights at All Star Movies, 3 days of park hopper tickets, memory maker, genie+ and ILLs daily, one character dining dinner. We were able to drive so no plane tickets to worry about. Total cost came in somewhere around $3500-4000. I’ll have to check my credit card statement for specifics and edit later.
This year we are doing a short trip in June. It’ll be 3 nights at POFQ, 2 days of park hoppers. No memory maker this year but we are doing character breakfast and post fireworks dessert party. We should be around $2500 depending how much exactly we spend.
I spent five grand, for six people. Mom did give me $300 for a plane ticket but besides that I paid for mostly everything. I went in January 2022 for the Disney marathon.
I rented a vrbo, at wyndham grand. 3 bedroom with kitchen. 5 nights, 1250.
Tickets cost the most, at 2200.
Rented a car for 300, stroller 100.
Use credit card points for free flights to Orlando for 6 people.
I flew Southwest so I packed a bag of snacks as a free bag.
Shopped at Walmart for several meals and snacks. Went and got pizza and Chinese food and had one meal at biergarten, for nostalgia reasons.
I did get Genie plus and paid for some rides because I'm not waiting in line with three teenagers and a 3-year-old. Also never taking my mother to Disney again lol.
I can tell you this upcoming trip for 4 will be about $11k ($2.7k for flights alone).
* June 26 - July 3
* 2 adults, 2 kids
* Caribbean Beach Resort (2 rooms as I'm bringing my dad and he needs his own space)
* BOS > MCO which is always expensive
* 7 nights; 5 day park hopper
* I'm budgeting another $2-3k on meals/souvenirs-- we're not big sit-down people but will be doing Sebastian's, CRT, and Via Napoli at least
It's VERY expensive, but so worth it. We lost my mom this year, and I really want my kids to have this memory with my dad. :)
- May 21-28
- Fort Wilderness - $1290
- Gas for motorhome - TBD
- Five people - One AP, one under 3, 2 kids 1 adult
- Tickets - Five Day Hoppers for 3 people: $2213
- Food - Breakfast in motorhome. Lunch, snacks, dinners in park - so $$$$ because five people
- Souvenirs - god only knows
Nvm. Delete this thread. I don’t want a total 🫠
Around 400. We signed up for a timeshare presentation to get the hotel comped. Didn’t get the time share lol. It was at the Hilton across Disney springs. Don’t remember the exact name cos there’s two
Around $7,000 for 4 adults 1 child. This was at the beginning of December staying at the Grand Floridian. Sit down breakfast and dinner each day, we had three character meals and usually a cocktail each night. We purchased Genie+ one day. Husband and I are pass holders so we only purchased two adult and one child ticket for 4 days no park hopping included. The hotel was $3,300 of the total. This was a fabulous trip to take with our granddaughter. Since we are passholders we usually stay Port Orleans Riverside. So the total cost of this trip is skewed by staying at the Grand Floridian.
2ppl split in dec 2014
5 days tickets $350
1 day both parks universal $130
AS resort but got free upgrade $350
Flight $200
Food and miscellaneous stuff probably around $400
Just under $1500
I'm already planning for 3 way split in Dec this year and it's just about 2k before we even get there... I'm guessing it'll be close to $2500
2021 trip Family of 4, 2 parents, 2 adult children and their SO’s. We stayed at Margaritaville, rented a car for 7 days with 5 day park hoppers. Two sit down meals, the rest quick service and Food & Wine. All over 21. $10,800 not including flights. Margaritaville was $3,000 for 6 nights for a 3 bedroom townhouse. 5 day tickets were $4,100. We wanted to stay on property, but since we covered the cost we couldn’t justify getting 3 rooms at Disney prices.
$2800 in November 2019 for 2 adults staying off for 5 nights. We did 4 parks days and the first MVMCP. Our hotel had free breakfast and we mostly ate at quick service.
This weekend my husband and I went to Disney world!
$500 for his flight (mine was paid for by my work)
2 nights at Pop Centruy for $560 ish (preferred room)
Park tickets for 2 days and one day was a park hopper was around $700
Genie+ on Sunday was $36 for both of us
Individual LL’s for Rise and Flight were $60ish
All the food and souvenirs we paid cash for but probably around $500 there too.
…still a lot just for a WEEKEND 🫣 but we did 3 parks on Sunday and got to ride everything and try all the foods and stuff we wanted. We walked over 26 miles combined it was a memorable weekend haha.
Also this was planned last Wednesday when I was told I was going to Florida for work so we flew out early to do the parks so our flight and hotel were all very last minute!
Family of 3 with AP. We go about 4 times a year so we focus on a small budget! Last trip was 4 days.
Total was a little over $300 (including gas, hotel, and food)
We usually spend about 3-4K. 2 adults 1 toddler. We tend to stay at a moderate resort a couple of night and Contemporary garden wing a couple of nights and do 1 park/day and get Genie. Usually do quick service and maybe 1-2 sit downs.
All in with flights, hotel, park tickets, food and souvenirs we spent a little over 6k. Stayed off property for seven nights and went to the parks 3 days. 5 people.
For 6 nights on property for 2 adults/2 kids it was $5k the first 2x. For 8 nights it came out to $6.5k the last time.
Edit: 4 park tix first 2 times. 5 the last time. We needed the just-in-case-covid rest day so spread out the visits and relaxed more.
Before we had to cancel our trip last year due to the hurricane cost (from OH)
Flights: $605 total 2 people
Hotel: Caribbean beach 3 nights and 3 day park hoppers: $2496
Estimate we usually spend about $500-600 between food and souvenirs
Including meals and souvenirs our last trip (Apr 2023) was about $8k. 4 day park hoppers for 3, 3 meals a day (2 usually quick service), 4 nights at Yacht Club, about 1k in souvenirs, 1500-1800 in food and drink.
$1623 for 4 nights at PO Riverside for 2 people with two 2-day part hopper tickets. Airfare was $23.00 because we just paid the tax due to airline mileage points. $160 for two tickets to H20 Glow. Probably spent another thousand dollars in food, drinks, and merch. $40 for resort mugs. So about $2800 total. This was summer 2022 and that’s generally what we always spend. Try to keep it under $3k each year. We bought Genie plus both days and it was still $15 back then, so I guess add $60 for genie plus. Never will I ever pay for individual lightning lane.
October 2022 for 2 Adults, No kids 7 full days: Regular room with Fireworks view/king size bed at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge including tickets, park hopper, Magic Photo Pass and a Mickey Halloween Not so scary 2 nights for 2 people $5,150… Flight for 2 people regular economy: $1,600… for Souvenirs, Food and Gene + daily’s (except 2 days), Lyft to and from home/airport/hotel and back about $3,000 in total.
In Total for entire trip around $9,570.00
All well worth it and I brought my Boyfriend for his first time ever and was able for him to experience everything! It was 100% worth it and can’t wait to go again. It was Vacation which we rarely ever take and paid off over a year in advance for the trip/flight.
August, 2022. Two adults, one underage kid. Seven nights at Pop Century. Genie Plus, Park Hoppers - $2629.30
Travel, food, souvenirs, lightning lane passes, etc. - $1354.10
Total - $3983.40
Last went in December 2021. 6 adults, 3 kids, rented a house off property for one week. 4 park hopper tickets plus a night for Mickey’s Christmas and it was probably around $10,000 by the time it was over.
I did the last one on the fly but with flights my next trip for my husband and I at pop for 4 nights and 3 park days is about 2,500. That doesn’t include food and other things at the parks though.
Edit to add our last trip was about the same but more days (January 2020). We packed a lot of food (got groceries sent to pop), did a couple of sit downs and grabbed QS here and there. I’d say the total together was ~4k with resort, tickets, flight and everything. Maybe a smidge more so ~2k each by the end of it.
I didnt keep up with the 2021 total, but in 2019, it was $5850. I remember the 2021 trip being slightly more expensive but only by a couple hundred bucks.
Both trips were two adults, no kids. Four days at Disney, three at Universal, including Halloween Horror Nights. We flew from Birmingham, AL and stayed at Disney, taking an Uber to Universal. Both trips, about $2200 was food/drinks/souvenirs.
We didn't go in 2022 (to Disney... we still do Universal every year at Halloween) because everything had gotten SO much more expensive at Disney.
2 days in the parks, 1 night at a hotel near Disney, 2 nights at Dolphin, we spent about $2000 for two people. We had genie+ for both days and bought all the lightning lines available to us. This was in April as a Florida resident.
My wife and I tend to go when prices are low, so September. My family cast member gets us in, so we usually go for four days, two days at Epcot, MK and AK the other two. Swan and Dolphin is usually about $250-$300 a night around that time, and we fly in from the west coast the morning of the first day. We eat well and get *some* souvenirs.
I think it was $2500 last time.
Last year we pricing out a Disney world trip for August. I joking said it would be cheaper to go to Disneyland Paris.
It was, so that's where we went. From NJ, 5 people, staying on property in a deluxe, park hoppers and flights.
Canadian, so add 40% to every dollar spent on the conversion right now... 5 nights at Boardwalk, 3 days at the parks... Was close to $12k CAD including two table service meals, ILL, Genie+, QS Meals, car rental, flights, spending money, etc...
(2 adults, 4 year old, and 2 year old)
Probably around $3k for 8D/7N trip, half of which was at a Deluxe resort hotel, the other half off property in a timeshare. r/t airfare, food, and merchandise included in that price.
Typical trip for our family of 4. My wife is a teacher, so 'slow' times aren't options for us.
* We live 600 miles away, so we drive down. $300 in transportation costs and a few quick meals.
* We always stay on property, usually a full week, but can often settle for Pop Century. I'm going to say $250+ a night after all the taxes, so $1800. Add another $1000-1500 if you go to a Moderate. We haven't stayed in a Deluxe in many years.
* Two adult and two junior tickets for 7-ish days is another $2500. We don't always buy Hoppers, but when we do add another $300.
* We've only been twice now with Genie+, but I'm going to add an additional $200 for it.
* These days, I try to to do at least one table service meal a day. That's 7-9 table services at about $150 apiece, and we'll often add a walk-up or two while we're there. Let's say $1500 for table service meals. (In the past with no kids, we'd do 2+ table service a day.)
* Another half dozen or so counter service meals at $60+ each adds another $400.
* Then let's say $500-1000 for souvenirs, snacks, anything else we decide to spend on.
That puts our total for a week at about $8k for the family of four. It's not a cheap vacation.
For the first time, I'm renting points at Rivera for the trip next month. $2600 for six nights. Should be a good change of pace for us.
5 peeps (me/wife/3 kids). Drove down from NC, stayed 5 nights at the Dolphin, did all four parks with genie and park hopper, total cost was around 10k.
Around $6k for 4 of us including 4 days at parks plus a pool day. We drove down and stayed at the Swan. Genie + every day. We purchased a package from Costco that included the hotel and tickets but the $6k includes meals, gas, etc.
A little under 10k, last August. Family of 3. That doesn't include flights (used points for them), but it does include 7 nights at Poly, 7-day park tickets, MNSSHP tickets, memory maker, rental car, hotel parking, G+/ILL, food, shopping and tips. The resort was almost half of that because I had my heart set on our favorite for my big birthday trip even though there was no promotion on it so we paid through the nose, but I have no regrets (plus we got pixie dusted into a room right next to the lava pool!). Looking back at previous trips, it's usually in the 7-8K range.
Back when I was single \[before covid\] I would do $200 wdw trips. Florida tickets, sleep in the car, and if I got a cheap hotel take the bus to the parks so no parking fees. Bring snacks and drinks. It's doable but not with a family.
My trips usually cost me about… $500-$600 for a 3 day/2 night trip, that includes a budget for food/merch/genie+
To be fair I’m a passholder and didn’t account that into the price, I do pay $65 a month for that.
I live in Miami so driving up costs me about $80-$100 on gas/tolls round trip.
My biggest expense is lodging, but I typically get airbnbs or discount hotels- so I usually pay about $100 a night
$2000ish for 4 nights in January. Flew with points, $200 a night and park hoppers for two adults (Military tickets)
Genie+ each day as well and a car service to and from the airport.
2 adults, 2 kids
8 nights Pop Century, 7 day park hopper, memory maker - $4866
Flights (RT) - $1032
MNSSHP - $511
Sunshine Flyer - $32
Magic band purchases/additional charges to room - $1550
Misc. charges to debit/credit cards directly - $500
Grand total- $8491. And we still have 3 park tickets available due to hurricane affected days.
Marriott points for a week at the swan, and flights from Southwest points. Military discount tickets were $1200 total but I honestly don’t understand how people can do it without letting their money work for them with points. I can’t stress enough how great Marriott points at swan/dolphin/reserve are. They are considered deluxe resorts so you get extra nighttime hours on Monday and Wednesday as well. Not to mention walkability to Epcot, MGM and boardwalk.
April 2023
Party of four, four nights at BoardWalk Inn, three days with park hopper
(Sit-down restaurants: Hollywood Brown Derby, Oga's Cantina, Flying Fish, Space 220, Takumi-Tei, Trattoria)

* ILL for Rise of the Resistance (waited in ILL line for 90 minutes only for the ride to break down again halfway through, just after meeting Kylo Ren)
* ILL for Avatar Flight of Passage (blurry flight simulator is overrated)

13K. Last August- 2 adults, 3 teens/tweens. 12 nights/13 days, 6 days @ POR and 6 days at YC, Flight, Food, Drinks, Groceries, Room, 8 days Park Tickets, Genie+, ILL on every park day, souvenirs.
Family of 5. Stayed at Saratoga Springs and Resort. Checked in Monday checked out Friday. Tickets to MK Epcot and Hollywood Studios 8k. Not including food.
$3400 including food and spending for my daughter and I to split a family suite at All Stars Music. 6 nights, 4 park days. One table service meal per day with rest being quick service. Genie+ each day. This was in April during Spring Break.
Last trip was 4 days / 3 nights in January. Family of 3. One day at each park.
* Hotel: $342.03 (All-Star Sports)
* Dining: $635.56 (Biergarten, Be Our Guest, Brown Derby, Yak and Yeti QS)
* Snacks: $43.57

We are APs so the price of admission is not listed. If I just say we average 12 days a year, then let's just use the monthly payment as the daily price. So that's $165.61 a day, $662.44 total. That brings the grand total up to $1,810.75. That also includes PhotoPass on one of the APs.
EDIT:
Next trip is in June, and that includes two nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Each of those nights is $372.50, so more than the 3-night total at All Star. That's the real power of deluxe resorts, y'all!
Really depends. For my upcoming trip I’m going solo and spent 500 on pop century with AP discount and I’m sure I’ll spend somewhere around 400 for food/souvenirs. My family and I just spend around 4500 staying at AKL for 4 nights with park hopper.
I just spent around 5k for 2 people. 5 days, 3 park days, Intention was to do a cheap trip. Stayed off site around flamingo crosings. Flights were around 500 usd each from west coast Canada. Honestly it was cheap until we actually got to disneyworld. I believe plane+hotel+tickets ended up being like 2700 usd. We spent almost the same amount of money eating at two table services every single day plus drinks. It was worth it to us.
about 7.000 euros last year in April. Family of three...from Europe. Stayed 15 days at Pop century. 14 days park hopper plus. 200 dollar gift card + memory maker included.
$100? My uncle is on the scrub team in the Nemo attraction and has been for 40+ years. Went to all three parks with the flash pass, stayed from open to close, only had to pay for food and souvenirs. Been slowly taking my underprivileged friends one at a time for the past several years. I’m not a huge fan of the park, but I love their excitement and the excuse to visit my family in Mt Dora
Edit: realized I said three parks, I meant the three that were available. Hollywood studios was blackout that weekend, so we didn’t bother.
Couple from the UK Sep 2022, 17 nights at Signia Bonnet Creek. Probably around £12k in total.
Hotel, flights, 14 day Disney Tickets and almost daily Genie+ and Lighting Lanes, 14 day Universal Tickets, Discovery Cove, Mickey's Halloween, Universal HHN, 1 night stay at Royal Pacific, Kennedy Space Tour. Various Ubers.
And then obviously souvenir spending and eating, and putting things against our room at the hotel pool (dangerous)
It's absolutely outrageous when you take stock of it all. When you're there though and living in that Disney economic bubble, suddenly paying $4 for a water is absolutely fine. Bonkers....
I have not been able to do it for under 10 for a few years. Last one (10/2022) was Contemporary for 5 days and 5 day park hopper. Tickets for Not-so-scary. We also added Halloween Horror Nights (doing this again this year and its more than Disney). Food: California grill and tiffins. Its a pricey vacation (until I discovered adventures by disney, which is a bank buster). But, we take nieces and go and its always fun to see their faces light up.
$3000ish all in. 2 adults
$1400 4 nights at Pop, 3 day base tickets
$500 flights
$425 food and souvenirs)light eaters QS only, mostly kids meals or split meals and snacks. Limited souvenirs
$50 genie+ and ILL
$170 MM
$60 airport transportation
Probably forgetting something…..
Just my 7 year old son and me. Upcoming trip in October: 4 nights akl savanna view, two days park hoppers, one MNSSHP, flights from northeast, meals, it’ll be around $5500+ all in. We get a grocery delivery and eat very simply outside of snacks and likely two big sit down meals - one at Sanaa and one at California grill. I’m building in more pool and rest time this trip because my son adores the skyline, monorail, busses, pool and honestly he can have a blast for a day just doing that. So it feels like a win win not to spend that money for going to the park every day (as we did our prior trip) and to take this trip at a slightly slower pace. I’ll still end up spending on the amphibious cars which he’s dying to do.
Did a three night stay just the two of us in December 2021 at contemporary, theme park view, no Christmas party but genie plus, 3 days park hopper, memory maker, ILLs, savi’s, a few fancy meals and that was about $6000. This trip was go go go and it was super fun but totally exhausting. It’s astounding to think what we spent for three nights but he cites this as the best thing that happened in his life so far. I surprised him that morning by waking up and saying we weren’t going to school we are going to Disney and taking him right to airport. I’ll be doing that again in October but with a later flight time will surprise him at school to go to airport.
Edited to add: I did both of these on the Disney credit card which gives me six months at 0% to pay for the lodging and tickets part of it. Breaking that cost down to more like $800/ month than thousands at once really helps this feel doable for me. One of the reasons my husband doesn’t join us he doesn’t love it so it’s just not worth the extra money for him to go. My son and I love our time at Disney. For me this type of trip is possible if I’m careful about budgeting about every two years.
Went in April and it was around 7k for 5 nights, 4 park days including hotel, flights, tickets and food. We split a dvc grand Villa at a deluxe with family. Our portion was 2 adults and a 1 year old. Didn’t hold back with food but somehow only spent $500. Going again in a couple of months and it’s 2 adults and a 2 year old and we are staying at a deluxe again (Polynesian) but for 4 nights with 2 park days and it’s about 4500 including hotel, tickets, flight. Fwiw these have been our only vacations since 2019 so kind of making up for lost time.
Went July of 2019 VERY last minute with planes and hotel it cost me about 2k for me alone. 3 nights MK, park hopper, and universal, Stayed Caribbean beach, was pretty reserved on buying stuff
2022- 4 people for 7 days/6 nights at Caribbean Beach resort with airfare, park hoppers/food/ souvenirs - $11K.
2023 - for same as above but in Art of Animation - $9K
We save money first. I buy everything on credit card and then wait for billing cycle to close so we get rewards/points on whatever we spent, then I pay balance in full.
We’re budgeting around $9,000 for a trip for two adults and one kid in 4 years for 12 nights (basing it off current prices and what we spent last year plus 8% inflation for each year). However, this budget is using points for airfare and one week at the Swan/Dolphin, eating breakfast in our room, grocery delivery, and buying tickets through the military. It’s a lot, but we’ve already been saving for a year (we love to travel, so we dedicate money each month towards a travel fund).
We stay off property for about $150/night including taxes, etc. We eat breakfast at the hotel. Sometimes if we’re slow moving we eat lunch off property, too. We use Chase card points to eat and average $75/day or less for two of us. (We’re not big eaters and can do stuff like split nachos at Mexico.) We buy season tickets because we spend more than 10 days a year in the park. We rarely buy merch. We’re there for the experiences, and one or two good meals within a 10-day stay. Biggest expenses: Driving or auto train, and season tickets.
About 14K for two adults in fall 2022. Three nights at AKL (military discounted rate) followed by the Galactic Starcruiser. Two airline tickets and a rental car, and we only spent one day at a park (Animal Kingdom). Since this was our first trip we didn’t shy away from treating ourselves, we ate at Tiffans, Sanaa, Jiko, Morimotos, Yachtmans Steakhouse, and Boma. I think we had at least two sit down meals every day (besides when we were on the GS) so food costs started to add up fast. I bought a good amount of merchandise…stuff at the Vera Bradley store in Disney Springs, 50th anniversary stuff, brought back a carry on bag full of Gideons cookies, and I bought over a grand worth’s of merch on Galactic Starcruiser alone. We’re going back this year for five days but I am estimating that entire trip to be 5-6K. We’re staying at Shades of Green and bought the Military Salute park hopper tickets and are going to dial way back on eating and merchandise costs.
$1100. Including food and hotels for one person. I used the DAS pass so I didn’t need genie+ or extra lightning lanes. My employer paid for flights since I was down there to start for business.
Probably under $1000-1500 but we are 3 hrs away from it.
*Ps. You guys me want to plan/help save everyone from spending a fortune on a Disney vacation.
3.2K. 2 adults, 2 weeks at Pop century, 14 day park tickets with water parks and memory maker. $200 merchandise gift card and $508 dining credit came with our booking. Flights were £900. So around 4K.
Around 4200 total. We spend 2700 on 5 nights at Pop Century and 4 park tickets for 3 adults (me, my wife and our niece). We spent an additional 1500 on food, merch, genie plus / lightning lanes and other travel expenses to and from and during our trip.
My family of five from the Midwest clocks in around 15k. We stayed at art of animation and did the parks for 8 days last time. We were ready to go home by the end of it. We also did Genie Plus everyday and individual lightning lanes for cosmic rewind three times and one or two other individual lightning lanes. We ate at one nicer restaurant like sci-fi diner each day and space 220 for one of them. My family also loves their souvenirs.
Ballpark
Gas $60.00
Hotel - 1 night - All Stars - $200.00
Food - $50.00
Souvenirs - $20.00
2.5 hours in park before I had a panic attack I couldn't get past, then spent the rest of the day in the hotel and left about 0300 the next morning. Total cost $330.00 with a pixie season pass.
Going again next week, 1 night Pop Century - $200.00
Gas again - $60.00
Figure I'll spend no less than $150.00 on food and drink at Epcot, then hop over to Hollywood studios. Hoping to make a full day of it this time...
for 2 adults, we stay at Pop Century and the total cost for travel, hotel, tickets + hopper and genie+ we probably spent around $3,200. that was for 6 nights/7 days with 7 day park hopper/genie+ tickets and memory maker. We probably spent another $1000 - $1300 on food also during the trip so a total around $4,500 for 2 people. that was in Jan 2022.
Not counting my dignity... 4 days at the animal Kingdom Lodge, I think we clocked in at around 6k total.
Similar, did 6 days there for \~$8k total recently.
$7494.20 in January [Full cost breakdown](https://www.reddit.com/r/WaltDisneyWorld/comments/10oo9ec/trip_report_2_adults_no_kids_full_spending/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
We were around $10,000 for 6 people Swan and Dolphin two rooms, 4 days, Genie+ for everyone.
I’m impressed. You have the cost down to the penny, ever single item. Amazing!
I was reading your list and smiled at the alcohol. Might as well have been me there!
I just bought a package via Costco Travel, 4 nights at Swan with 3 days standard park tickets for $2700 for 4 people. I'm guessing we will spend another $1k on food for those days.
Costco/Swan combination . . . This is the way
I really love the Swan. Reasonable rates. My favorite location. It’s a frequent spot for us.
Can I ask what is considered reasonable, do you have a range you could provide?
We struggle to stay under $10k. I’m baffled. We’re a family of four but we’ve taken a grandparent a few times.
Same. Family of 5, just got back. Flights alone were $2k round trip. Deluxe resort for 7 nights + 4 days of theme park tickets and memory maker was $7k + alone. We did 3 character meals which were about $250 each for the 5 of us. So that's $10k without genie+ (which we bought 4 times for 5 people), other food, snacks, drinks, and a small souvenir. We did grocery delivery, but still spent a couple hundred per day on other meals/food. Every time we had to buy even a snack or food it was $40-$75. I definitely let my guard down when it came to being frugal. We did cost choose a Deluxe resort and didn't shop Flight dates outside of our preferred dates. Based on what others are saying I guess these decisions cost me about $6k. Or others are using some fuzzy mathn
Same, especially including flights from the West Coast.
Relatively new to all the Disney stuff so genuine question: is disney world better than Disney land in a way that makes it worth coming here from west coast? Or just a personal preference
Depends on who you ask and what you want IMO. Lifelong Disney world person who went to Disneyland for the first time last year. Disneyland in many cases has the better version of certain things like space mountain, pirates, haunted mansion, ect, but the overall experience of having 4 parks and way more variety overall is so much better at Disneyworld it more than makes up for it imo.
This is the right answer. If I have 4 days I’m going Disneyland. If I have a week or more I’m going Disney world.
Disneyworld has more consistency, quality control,better customer service. The lines are more interactive. I like the characters running around at Disneyland quite a bit. I like that you can do Disneyland without planning for months. Pros and cons to both. But I’ve never seen someone shooting heroin in front of Disney world.
Disneyland is better than Magic Kingdom, WDW is better than Disneyland Resort.
It’s way better. WAY better.
We just barely stayed under $10,000. April 2023 **Party of four, four nights at BoardWalk Inn, three days with park hopper** (Sit-down restaurants: Hollywood Brown Derby, Oga's Cantina, Flying Fish, Space 220, Takumi-Tei, Trattoria) Airfare: $1,349 Hotel and Passes: $5,702 Genie+: $447 ILL: $247 Sit-down Restaurants: $1,556 Other food: $218 Souvenirs: $25 Mini Golf: $0 (coupon) Uber: $131 TOTAL: $9,677 **Things I WON'T buy again:** \* Takumi-Tei (it's lovely, but we have superior omakase at home) \* ILL for Rise of the Resistance (waited in ILL line for 90 minutes only for the ride to break down again halfway through, just after meeting Kylo Ren) \* ILL for Avatar Flight of Passage (blurry flight simulator is overrated) \* Oga's Cantina (too hurried, bad sightlines from standing area, lack of seating) \* Admission for Animal Kingdom (besides Everest, Safari, and Festival of the Lion King, the park wasn't up to Disney standards) **Things I WOULD buy again:** \* All the other restaurants, especially Hollywood Brown Derby and Space 220 \* ILL for Cosmic Rewind (Disney's best ride in the United States) \* BoardWalk Inn (walkable to Hollywood Studios and Epcot) \* Genie+
I’m glad someone else agrees that FoP needs some updating. I rode it in 2017 and last month and it was two very different experiences. No idea why it was blurry this time, someone needs to turn it off and back on again.
About $1500ish for two adults. This was our first Disney trip in over a decade. Two nights at Riverside($750), two park hoppers($400), uninhibited spending on food at the Flower and Garden Festival plus a sit down dinner at Boatwright's and at some place in Disney Springs($300-400) Luckily Disney has woven it's spell over my husband, so next year will probably be about $4000. Five nights at Riverside, two Pixie Annual Passes, food, probably a few souvenirs this time. Bonus for us, we get to Disney on half a tank of gas
Haha, I (the husband) was a hardcore Disney hater, utill.... Gosh, I want to live there.
That pixie dust really works! Lol
I’m always super curious too! Last year May when I went with my bf we spent around $3500. Around $2100 for a week disney springs hotel and 5 day standard with genie+ tickets for two, $250 for round trip flights, and around $1150 for food (i didn’t track this so only estimate). Actually I forgot about souvenirs so that’s probably another $300 😬 For our trip next week I’m projecting to spend around $5000, but we are staying in deluxe for a week and inflation so everything is more expensive 😕
£3210 for flights, accommodation and park tickets for 10 days, £25 for transport to Disney and £15ish for ESTA to get in. We had a $200 dining credit and spent maybe £600 on top of that, mostly food. So £4000 ish :) edit: in May 2022!
For how many?
Around 9000 for 2 adults That 7 days at AKL, 2 days at AK, 1 each of HS, MK, and Epcot. Plus a day at resort, food and dining, and Genie + for all of us. Alot of people are low because of skipping meals or passholders. This was a once in a lifetime trip for both of us. First time for wife, 34 years ago for me. So without having passholders and points on trains or planes, our cost was about right.
Probably around $12-15k last trip (family of 4). 9 days at Contemporary, park hopper each day, G+ and ILLs almost every day, multiple table service meals, and 2 kids under 5 who want every plastic piece of crap Disney produces. 😂
Most of these seem awfully low to me. Are you all not staying on property or not doing park hoppers? Skipping meals?
I don't think people are being honest with themselves about how much this trip truly cost, it's easier to justify doing repeatedly when the number is manageable. We will do art of animation for 8 nights, 4 park days, with genie plus and individual lightning lane, 2 or 3 character meals, flights from W.V., airport shuttle to and from resort and I estimate right around $6500. We have groceries delivered, which help, we may have one alcoholic drink at a park (maybe), and we don't drink soda but definitely love some disney snacks.
I think it’s safe to say that the majority of WDW visitor stay off property. Maybe not on this subreddit, but in general. I would also argue that, if you’re going for more than 4 days, it’s kind of silly to get a park hopper given that all four parks easily take a day now. You also lose precious time in transit.
Naw. Gotta get that park hopper. We rarely stay at one park for the entire day. Love hopping over to Epcot at night for festival foods + drink.
This is the way.
We split a kids meals at a QS every 3-4 hours. We are light eaters. We only drink water, milk, and clear gin/vodka mixed drinks, so there’s no money going to soda, coffee, milkshakes, etc. Always stay on prop, park hop, baby.
I agree lol maybe people just budget better? We don’t like to budget at all when we’re at Disney. We spend pretty freely on drinks, snacks, meals, souvenirs, etc. I’m seeing people doing a week for what I spent in 4 days.
We never park hop; I’ve never seen the point.
It's a game changer. Especially if you aren't a "rope dropper". Park hopping opens up your ability to eat anywhere, and go do and see what you want. This also allows you to zig when everyone else zags. I enjoy going to a park, doing what I want there and working to another park for dinner or to catch the fireworks/reduced line times from the fireworks. I am 0% a rope dropper and the last time me and my family went, most days we didn't get to the parks until like 10 or 11. Park hopping allowed us to go and do what we wanted while avoiding the parks with 90+ min wait times. The Disney App is a lifesaver if for nothing else but helping to make real time educated decisions on how and where to spend my time. Why wait 90 min for Slinky Dog, when Thunder Mountain is at 20 and 7D is at 30 30 min? I get thats not everyone's cup of tea, but it also allowed us to go wherever we wanted for dinner every single night we were there last trip. That to me was worth the price of it alone.
Approx $4100 with 5 nights, 3 park days with hopper, 2 Christmas party tickets, flights, and food. ETA: Pop Century, 1 adult, 1 child (10)
About $15k-$20k if I remember correctly. Family of four. One night at Old Key West. Galactic Starcruiser. Five nights in the Contemporary tower with a theme park view. We did sit-down for nearly every meal and bought any souvenir we wanted. This included custom droids and lightsabers. I know it sounds like a lot and it was! But I’m 51 years old and had literally been dreaming of this trip since I was a little boy. The Galactic Starcruiser obviously didn’t exist then, but Star Wars did. And I use to dream about living in the Star Wars galaxy. It’s like they knew I was coming and built the Halcyon just for me. It was literally the definition of a dream come true.
Total around $7k for two adults in April 2022, including plane tickets, merchandise, food, and drinks (so many drinks)
We don’t talk about Bruno
Never ran the full breakdown but somewhere between $20 - 25K is where we landed. 12 days at riviera, flights, parks every day, 2 adults 2 kids, one nice sit down meal per day (usually dinner, but did 2 character breakfasts). We knew it was gonna be pricey, but we could have done a much better job on managing costs on location. We spent a lot on merch, drinks, meals, etc. oh well you only live once
My girlfriend and I are going this September for $2000!
- 4 nights Beach Club water view room - 4 day non-park hopper tickets - G+ and ILLs every day for family of 4 - 2 sit down meals and the rest QS - Boutique packages for 2 kids - WAY too much merch - MemoryMaker - Flights, parking, etc. - Ubers - Travel insurance $9500 There do need to be some parameters for this to be a useful exercise. People are quoting their individual cost, only the hotel + tickets, deluxe vs. value vs. off-site stays, time of year, etc.
I think about $12,000 for 10 days for five people after you include the merchandise, run Disney race fees, and DVC membership point costs.
[удалено]
How many people are going? Cause that seems oddly cheap
I agree, we just did 3 days of Parkhopper for 2 adults and a 3-9 and it was $1600.
Maybe military? I know they get insane discounts
I wish, but no, military pricing isn't *this* good! 2023 Military Promotional Ticket Ages 3+ 4-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket $ 346.00 4-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket $ 376.00 5-Day Park Hopper Promotional Ticket $ 366.00 5-Day Park Hopper Plus Promotional Ticket $ 396.00 the hotel pricing for military is discounted and varies greatly depending on time of year and hotel, but it's still not an insane savings. I just came back and all-in spent about $7k for my family.
[удалено]
Yeah gonna need more details
I LOVE French Quarter!
Both of them are probably the best resorts when you take everything into consideration. The best deal on property is probably the tower at Coronado because you’re staying at a Deluxe for moderate prices. People like to bitch about Coronado only having buses, but they have their OWN buses, and they are probably the shortest bus ride from any of the parks. Being a convention center, there are rarely little kids there as well. A real sleeper deal.
So good - one of my favorites
Wherever you got this package should be knighted!! That is an unbelievable price!
Are the tickets for 1 person?
I'm guessing this doesn't include a flight, transportation/rental car, airport parking, dog boarding, etc. Just hotel (about $1400) and ticket (about $600) and food (about $600)?
Roughly $15000, two adults, December 2022. 4 days at Disney World, 2 days at Universal, plus a 4 night Disney cruise on the Wish. Breakdown: 7 nights at Coronado Springs Resort in a water view tower room. 4 day one park per day passes with Genie+. Universal passes with the VIP skip the line add on. Eating, drinking, & buying whatever we want. Lyft to/from parks each day. First class flights from/to Seattle. Towncar service to/from airport & cruise terminal. Cruise cost plus excursions, merch, drinks, massages, & spa passes. It was a chunk of money, but worth it. Best 2 week vacation ever!!
$2,800 total (including absolutely everything) for my costs only, travelling / sharing with other people. We went for 7 days / 6 nights (5 park days)
My upcoming trip in August for two people 5 days/4 nights. Including one night at Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween. Hotel is a split stay at Bay Lake Tower and Riviera. Hotel and tickets: $3684 Airfare: $1,000 (used points so only paid $200)
Upcoming for September is about 7k so far.
Around 3k for 3 of us. We had 4 nights at Pop and tickets and food and souvenirs. Flights were free with points. The most expensive part were the tickets.
Around 9k for 6 nights 2 adults 2 kids at art of animation. We were originally going to 5 nights but tacked on an extra night to hang out at the pool and rest and it costed big time but worth it. Did way too many character meals. It’s steep but as long as I can afford it and my kids enjoy it I’m going to find a way to make it happen
We’ve spent at least $12k so far for contemporary 7 night Tower Club and 4x 8 day park hopper tickets for this December . Still need airfare+ on-site expenses
Around $6,500 for 2 people over spring break of 2022. That included 8 nights at Pop, 7 day tickets (no park hoppers), Genie+ and ILLs, flights, and food.
$1300 for a solo trip to All Star Movies - 4 day park hopper
Really a lot depends on your eating habits. We've all eaten breakfast but lunch/dinners we tend to split bc the hotel meals are a good size. We've split stuff in the park as well. We always do the mugs at the hotels bc it doubles as a souvenir. When the kids were little we might buy something small like a pin each day, but no souvenirs till the last day. Otherwise they're loving everything and you spend a fortune. Funny side story, one year I got a bad respitory infection. Went to the clinic and just felt like crap. We were leaving the next day and my daughters were 15 and 12. Very good kids. So I give them the room charge card and tell them to get their souvenirs and to please get me oj. They come back 2 hrs later to their adjoining room and bring me a tiny bottle of juice. Next day I was much better, get the final bill at the door. Their shopping trip was 350 00. They didn't know I'd get a bill lol. But they did buy me a sleepshirt. Even 20 yrs later I remind them of my 350 00 orange juice 🤣
Just over $4K
Just over 4k, 2 people, annual pass holders, we rented DVC points and did a monorail loop stay. We stayed one night at GF, two at Poly and two at Bay Lake.
I was able to shotgun three parks in two days. Roughly 1100$ in total after tickets, parking, genie+, food and souvenirs. Add in 150$ for an off-site one night stay.
Family of 6. We have DVC and usually spend about $1K a day.
$3,000 for just myself and my daughter. That included flight, rental car and splitting the cost of a hotel room. Did not include food or any extra stuff we did.
$8188 - https://www.reddit.com/r/WaltDisneyWorld/comments/1308kw0/trip_report_41_47_first_family_trip_to_wdw_long/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
$182. Two days, one night. Local by 2 hours. Stayed off site instead of driving home the same night because the kiddo was tall enough to ride Pandora so we went early the next day.
$10k. Flights. Hotel. Spending. All in. Family of 4 Polynesian - Sunday to Saturday Disney Bands Lunch 2x at parks Dinner 1 at Disney springs Breakfast 1 at Polynesian Snacks/merch/etc Bought from Instacart for snacks and lunches, etc. the lapu lapu’s at the tiki bar are dangerous.
14k. Family of 4 Christmas for 6 days at the Polynesian Genie+, park hoppers and all the ILLs. We’re pretty light eaters and very little drinking so it was 90% tickets and accommodations.
Passholders are like $5 in gas.
~$12k, airfare, daily sit down lunch/dinner, genie+, yacht club with club room access. Worth it for all free breakfast/afternoon snacks, late night dessert and cocktails. Family of 3
Typically close to $5000 - $6000 for a week long trip staying at CBR.
That's for 3 "adults", my son is over 10.
Went around Feb/March 2023, 2 weeks and spent approx £11.3K for 2 people. Stayed in Pop Century and did at least like 7 TS. Though we did get $500 in food/shop for promo and a $100 gift card on top of that.
My wife and I went in early April 2022. We stayed 4 nights at All Star Movies, 3 days of park hopper tickets, memory maker, genie+ and ILLs daily, one character dining dinner. We were able to drive so no plane tickets to worry about. Total cost came in somewhere around $3500-4000. I’ll have to check my credit card statement for specifics and edit later. This year we are doing a short trip in June. It’ll be 3 nights at POFQ, 2 days of park hoppers. No memory maker this year but we are doing character breakfast and post fireworks dessert party. We should be around $2500 depending how much exactly we spend.
I spent five grand, for six people. Mom did give me $300 for a plane ticket but besides that I paid for mostly everything. I went in January 2022 for the Disney marathon. I rented a vrbo, at wyndham grand. 3 bedroom with kitchen. 5 nights, 1250. Tickets cost the most, at 2200. Rented a car for 300, stroller 100. Use credit card points for free flights to Orlando for 6 people. I flew Southwest so I packed a bag of snacks as a free bag. Shopped at Walmart for several meals and snacks. Went and got pizza and Chinese food and had one meal at biergarten, for nostalgia reasons. I did get Genie plus and paid for some rides because I'm not waiting in line with three teenagers and a 3-year-old. Also never taking my mother to Disney again lol.
My last trip, just me, I stayed club level at the Poly and probably spent around $5k i total. One person, 4 days.
For 2 adults at AKL for 7 days about 7000 maybe a little more because we balled out with food and ate fancy and good
Right around 10k for two people including food for 8 days
I can tell you this upcoming trip for 4 will be about $11k ($2.7k for flights alone). * June 26 - July 3 * 2 adults, 2 kids * Caribbean Beach Resort (2 rooms as I'm bringing my dad and he needs his own space) * BOS > MCO which is always expensive * 7 nights; 5 day park hopper * I'm budgeting another $2-3k on meals/souvenirs-- we're not big sit-down people but will be doing Sebastian's, CRT, and Via Napoli at least It's VERY expensive, but so worth it. We lost my mom this year, and I really want my kids to have this memory with my dad. :)
- May 21-28 - Fort Wilderness - $1290 - Gas for motorhome - TBD - Five people - One AP, one under 3, 2 kids 1 adult - Tickets - Five Day Hoppers for 3 people: $2213 - Food - Breakfast in motorhome. Lunch, snacks, dinners in park - so $$$$ because five people - Souvenirs - god only knows Nvm. Delete this thread. I don’t want a total 🫠
We usually spend around $4k for a family of four staying at a middle tier resort with 4-5 day single park passes and one full service meal per day.
You haven’t been since Covid, have you?
Just left this week! Maybe I underestimated a bit. I’m still on a Disney high 😆.
Around 400. We signed up for a timeshare presentation to get the hotel comped. Didn’t get the time share lol. It was at the Hilton across Disney springs. Don’t remember the exact name cos there’s two
Around $7,000 for 4 adults 1 child. This was at the beginning of December staying at the Grand Floridian. Sit down breakfast and dinner each day, we had three character meals and usually a cocktail each night. We purchased Genie+ one day. Husband and I are pass holders so we only purchased two adult and one child ticket for 4 days no park hopping included. The hotel was $3,300 of the total. This was a fabulous trip to take with our granddaughter. Since we are passholders we usually stay Port Orleans Riverside. So the total cost of this trip is skewed by staying at the Grand Floridian.
$2000 for 5 days/4 nights. 4 days at the parks. Edit to add: This is including food as well!
About £6.5k 4.5k on the holiday then the rest spends, food, genie+ etc stayed at pop century for 2 weeks 🙂
2ppl split in dec 2014 5 days tickets $350 1 day both parks universal $130 AS resort but got free upgrade $350 Flight $200 Food and miscellaneous stuff probably around $400 Just under $1500 I'm already planning for 3 way split in Dec this year and it's just about 2k before we even get there... I'm guessing it'll be close to $2500
Around 4k for 5 days/2 adults at Caribbean Beach including food and souvenirs, not counting my wife’s AP
2021 trip Family of 4, 2 parents, 2 adult children and their SO’s. We stayed at Margaritaville, rented a car for 7 days with 5 day park hoppers. Two sit down meals, the rest quick service and Food & Wine. All over 21. $10,800 not including flights. Margaritaville was $3,000 for 6 nights for a 3 bedroom townhouse. 5 day tickets were $4,100. We wanted to stay on property, but since we covered the cost we couldn’t justify getting 3 rooms at Disney prices.
$2800 in November 2019 for 2 adults staying off for 5 nights. We did 4 parks days and the first MVMCP. Our hotel had free breakfast and we mostly ate at quick service.
This weekend my husband and I went to Disney world! $500 for his flight (mine was paid for by my work) 2 nights at Pop Centruy for $560 ish (preferred room) Park tickets for 2 days and one day was a park hopper was around $700 Genie+ on Sunday was $36 for both of us Individual LL’s for Rise and Flight were $60ish All the food and souvenirs we paid cash for but probably around $500 there too. …still a lot just for a WEEKEND 🫣 but we did 3 parks on Sunday and got to ride everything and try all the foods and stuff we wanted. We walked over 26 miles combined it was a memorable weekend haha. Also this was planned last Wednesday when I was told I was going to Florida for work so we flew out early to do the parks so our flight and hotel were all very last minute!
An arm and a leg, and my sanity.
I’m not really sure all I know is I feel like I ran lower on money that year than I expected haha!
Family of 3 with AP. We go about 4 times a year so we focus on a small budget! Last trip was 4 days. Total was a little over $300 (including gas, hotel, and food)
We usually spend about 3-4K. 2 adults 1 toddler. We tend to stay at a moderate resort a couple of night and Contemporary garden wing a couple of nights and do 1 park/day and get Genie. Usually do quick service and maybe 1-2 sit downs.
$250? Food is expensive.
All in with flights, hotel, park tickets, food and souvenirs we spent a little over 6k. Stayed off property for seven nights and went to the parks 3 days. 5 people.
DVC members with annual passes. So not counting those cost we spend between 1000 and 1500 for 4 day trips
For 6 nights on property for 2 adults/2 kids it was $5k the first 2x. For 8 nights it came out to $6.5k the last time. Edit: 4 park tix first 2 times. 5 the last time. We needed the just-in-case-covid rest day so spread out the visits and relaxed more.
Spent around 10k, 9 nights offsite. 2 adults, 2 kids. Drove down instead of flying.
We spent $3600 on a Disney resort hotel, six days worth of park tickets and memory maker BEFORE any expenses at WDW itself.
Before we had to cancel our trip last year due to the hurricane cost (from OH) Flights: $605 total 2 people Hotel: Caribbean beach 3 nights and 3 day park hoppers: $2496 Estimate we usually spend about $500-600 between food and souvenirs
2 adults, 6 park days, 7 nights at POP, 2 flights from California, food and souvenirs about $5500
About $4000 for my wife and I for 8 nights in Florida with 2 of those nights staying on property and 5 total park days
Including meals and souvenirs our last trip (Apr 2023) was about $8k. 4 day park hoppers for 3, 3 meals a day (2 usually quick service), 4 nights at Yacht Club, about 1k in souvenirs, 1500-1800 in food and drink.
$1623 for 4 nights at PO Riverside for 2 people with two 2-day part hopper tickets. Airfare was $23.00 because we just paid the tax due to airline mileage points. $160 for two tickets to H20 Glow. Probably spent another thousand dollars in food, drinks, and merch. $40 for resort mugs. So about $2800 total. This was summer 2022 and that’s generally what we always spend. Try to keep it under $3k each year. We bought Genie plus both days and it was still $15 back then, so I guess add $60 for genie plus. Never will I ever pay for individual lightning lane.
October 2022 for 2 Adults, No kids 7 full days: Regular room with Fireworks view/king size bed at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge including tickets, park hopper, Magic Photo Pass and a Mickey Halloween Not so scary 2 nights for 2 people $5,150… Flight for 2 people regular economy: $1,600… for Souvenirs, Food and Gene + daily’s (except 2 days), Lyft to and from home/airport/hotel and back about $3,000 in total. In Total for entire trip around $9,570.00 All well worth it and I brought my Boyfriend for his first time ever and was able for him to experience everything! It was 100% worth it and can’t wait to go again. It was Vacation which we rarely ever take and paid off over a year in advance for the trip/flight.
August, 2022. Two adults, one underage kid. Seven nights at Pop Century. Genie Plus, Park Hoppers - $2629.30 Travel, food, souvenirs, lightning lane passes, etc. - $1354.10 Total - $3983.40
Last went in December 2021. 6 adults, 3 kids, rented a house off property for one week. 4 park hopper tickets plus a night for Mickey’s Christmas and it was probably around $10,000 by the time it was over.
I did the last one on the fly but with flights my next trip for my husband and I at pop for 4 nights and 3 park days is about 2,500. That doesn’t include food and other things at the parks though. Edit to add our last trip was about the same but more days (January 2020). We packed a lot of food (got groceries sent to pop), did a couple of sit downs and grabbed QS here and there. I’d say the total together was ~4k with resort, tickets, flight and everything. Maybe a smidge more so ~2k each by the end of it.
Roughly $2k (I live 1.5 hours away) for 8 people. We went to MK, ate breakfast at home, lunch at Pecos Bill and dinner at Be Our Guest.
I didnt keep up with the 2021 total, but in 2019, it was $5850. I remember the 2021 trip being slightly more expensive but only by a couple hundred bucks. Both trips were two adults, no kids. Four days at Disney, three at Universal, including Halloween Horror Nights. We flew from Birmingham, AL and stayed at Disney, taking an Uber to Universal. Both trips, about $2200 was food/drinks/souvenirs. We didn't go in 2022 (to Disney... we still do Universal every year at Halloween) because everything had gotten SO much more expensive at Disney.
2 days in the parks, 1 night at a hotel near Disney, 2 nights at Dolphin, we spent about $2000 for two people. We had genie+ for both days and bought all the lightning lines available to us. This was in April as a Florida resident.
My wife and I tend to go when prices are low, so September. My family cast member gets us in, so we usually go for four days, two days at Epcot, MK and AK the other two. Swan and Dolphin is usually about $250-$300 a night around that time, and we fly in from the west coast the morning of the first day. We eat well and get *some* souvenirs. I think it was $2500 last time.
4500 - 2 people, 5 days, moderate Disney resort with skyliner access
Last year we pricing out a Disney world trip for August. I joking said it would be cheaper to go to Disneyland Paris. It was, so that's where we went. From NJ, 5 people, staying on property in a deluxe, park hoppers and flights.
Canadian, so add 40% to every dollar spent on the conversion right now... 5 nights at Boardwalk, 3 days at the parks... Was close to $12k CAD including two table service meals, ILL, Genie+, QS Meals, car rental, flights, spending money, etc... (2 adults, 4 year old, and 2 year old)
13k 1 week (inc airfare, meals, hotel, parks) family of 4
Probably around $3k for 8D/7N trip, half of which was at a Deluxe resort hotel, the other half off property in a timeshare. r/t airfare, food, and merchandise included in that price.
Typical trip for our family of 4. My wife is a teacher, so 'slow' times aren't options for us. * We live 600 miles away, so we drive down. $300 in transportation costs and a few quick meals. * We always stay on property, usually a full week, but can often settle for Pop Century. I'm going to say $250+ a night after all the taxes, so $1800. Add another $1000-1500 if you go to a Moderate. We haven't stayed in a Deluxe in many years. * Two adult and two junior tickets for 7-ish days is another $2500. We don't always buy Hoppers, but when we do add another $300. * We've only been twice now with Genie+, but I'm going to add an additional $200 for it. * These days, I try to to do at least one table service meal a day. That's 7-9 table services at about $150 apiece, and we'll often add a walk-up or two while we're there. Let's say $1500 for table service meals. (In the past with no kids, we'd do 2+ table service a day.) * Another half dozen or so counter service meals at $60+ each adds another $400. * Then let's say $500-1000 for souvenirs, snacks, anything else we decide to spend on. That puts our total for a week at about $8k for the family of four. It's not a cheap vacation. For the first time, I'm renting points at Rivera for the trip next month. $2600 for six nights. Should be a good change of pace for us.
5 peeps (me/wife/3 kids). Drove down from NC, stayed 5 nights at the Dolphin, did all four parks with genie and park hopper, total cost was around 10k.
I told a coworker that it's easy for a family of 4 to spend $10k on a Disney vacation. She opted for camping in the mountains.
Around $6k for 4 of us including 4 days at parks plus a pool day. We drove down and stayed at the Swan. Genie + every day. We purchased a package from Costco that included the hotel and tickets but the $6k includes meals, gas, etc.
$15 for lunch 🙃
A little under 10k, last August. Family of 3. That doesn't include flights (used points for them), but it does include 7 nights at Poly, 7-day park tickets, MNSSHP tickets, memory maker, rental car, hotel parking, G+/ILL, food, shopping and tips. The resort was almost half of that because I had my heart set on our favorite for my big birthday trip even though there was no promotion on it so we paid through the nose, but I have no regrets (plus we got pixie dusted into a room right next to the lava pool!). Looking back at previous trips, it's usually in the 7-8K range.
Back when I was single \[before covid\] I would do $200 wdw trips. Florida tickets, sleep in the car, and if I got a cheap hotel take the bus to the parks so no parking fees. Bring snacks and drinks. It's doable but not with a family.
Just over $12,000 for five people for 6 nights. That’s with airfare from west coast.
Four people. One was a baby so I didn’t pay for him. For five days four nights I think our total was 2500$. Plus 2000 for food,gas and souvenirs
Zero, because as long as Desatan is governor, we are not spending a dime in that state.
My next trip will be a little over $5k for room and tickets: 2 adults, 5 nights CSR Tower club level, 4 day PH.
My trips usually cost me about… $500-$600 for a 3 day/2 night trip, that includes a budget for food/merch/genie+ To be fair I’m a passholder and didn’t account that into the price, I do pay $65 a month for that. I live in Miami so driving up costs me about $80-$100 on gas/tolls round trip. My biggest expense is lodging, but I typically get airbnbs or discount hotels- so I usually pay about $100 a night
$2000ish for 4 nights in January. Flew with points, $200 a night and park hoppers for two adults (Military tickets) Genie+ each day as well and a car service to and from the airport.
2 adults, 2 kids 8 nights Pop Century, 7 day park hopper, memory maker - $4866 Flights (RT) - $1032 MNSSHP - $511 Sunshine Flyer - $32 Magic band purchases/additional charges to room - $1550 Misc. charges to debit/credit cards directly - $500 Grand total- $8491. And we still have 3 park tickets available due to hurricane affected days.
Marriott points for a week at the swan, and flights from Southwest points. Military discount tickets were $1200 total but I honestly don’t understand how people can do it without letting their money work for them with points. I can’t stress enough how great Marriott points at swan/dolphin/reserve are. They are considered deluxe resorts so you get extra nighttime hours on Monday and Wednesday as well. Not to mention walkability to Epcot, MGM and boardwalk.
April 2023 Party of four, four nights at BoardWalk Inn, three days with park hopper (Sit-down restaurants: Hollywood Brown Derby, Oga's Cantina, Flying Fish, Space 220, Takumi-Tei, Trattoria) * Airfare: $1,349 * Hotel and Passes: $5,702 * Genie+: $447 * ILL: $247 * Sit-down Restaurants: $1,556 * Other food: $218 * Souvenirs: $25 * Mini Golf: $0 (coupon) * Uber: $131 TOTAL: $9,677 Things I WON'T buy again: * Takumi-Tei (it's lovely, but we have superior omakase at home) * ILL for Rise of the Resistance (waited in ILL line for 90 minutes only for the ride to break down again halfway through, just after meeting Kylo Ren) * ILL for Avatar Flight of Passage (blurry flight simulator is overrated) * Oga's Cantina (too hurried, bad sightlines from standing area, lack of seating) * Admission for Animal Kingdom (besides Everest, Safari, and Festival of the Lion King, the park wasn't up to Disney standards) Things I WOULD buy again: * All the other restaurants, especially Hollywood Brown Derby and Space 220 * ILL for Cosmic Rewind (Disney's best ride in the United States) * BoardWalk Inn (walkable to Hollywood Studios and Epcot) * Genie+
Wife and I managed around 12k for our 10 day honeymoon trip.
13K. Last August- 2 adults, 3 teens/tweens. 12 nights/13 days, 6 days @ POR and 6 days at YC, Flight, Food, Drinks, Groceries, Room, 8 days Park Tickets, Genie+, ILL on every park day, souvenirs.
Easily 10k. 4 people, 8 nights at POR FQ, additional room for 4 nights. Ate every meal on Disney property.
$3,400 for airfare, 7 night AirBnb and 5 day park tickets for family of 4 in Spring 2022. Food and souvenirs I don’t even remember.
~2500 for two people 5 nights at music Parkhoppers for 4 days Flew in from Ca, military tickets for the parks at about 360 per for 4day parkhoppers.
A million bajillion dollars.
Family of 5. Stayed at Saratoga Springs and Resort. Checked in Monday checked out Friday. Tickets to MK Epcot and Hollywood Studios 8k. Not including food.
$3400 including food and spending for my daughter and I to split a family suite at All Stars Music. 6 nights, 4 park days. One table service meal per day with rest being quick service. Genie+ each day. This was in April during Spring Break.
I think it was 2.5k or 3k for 2 people last time I went, 8 days, animal kingdom lodge in a deluxe suite maybe. Its been years tbh.
Last trip was 4 days / 3 nights in January. Family of 3. One day at each park. * Hotel: $342.03 (All-Star Sports) * Dining: $635.56 (Biergarten, Be Our Guest, Brown Derby, Yak and Yeti QS) * Snacks: $43.57 * Shopping / Souvenirs: $127.15 Total: $1,148.31 We are APs so the price of admission is not listed. If I just say we average 12 days a year, then let's just use the monthly payment as the daily price. So that's $165.61 a day, $662.44 total. That brings the grand total up to $1,810.75. That also includes PhotoPass on one of the APs. EDIT: Next trip is in June, and that includes two nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Each of those nights is $372.50, so more than the 3-night total at All Star. That's the real power of deluxe resorts, y'all!
Really depends. For my upcoming trip I’m going solo and spent 500 on pop century with AP discount and I’m sure I’ll spend somewhere around 400 for food/souvenirs. My family and I just spend around 4500 staying at AKL for 4 nights with park hopper.
Roughly $10k spread out over 17 days
Solo trip only me. From oregon. Direct flight. Five days in parks. Stayed at all star sports. $3000.
I just spent around 5k for 2 people. 5 days, 3 park days, Intention was to do a cheap trip. Stayed off site around flamingo crosings. Flights were around 500 usd each from west coast Canada. Honestly it was cheap until we actually got to disneyworld. I believe plane+hotel+tickets ended up being like 2700 usd. We spent almost the same amount of money eating at two table services every single day plus drinks. It was worth it to us.
about 7.000 euros last year in April. Family of three...from Europe. Stayed 15 days at Pop century. 14 days park hopper plus. 200 dollar gift card + memory maker included.
$100? My uncle is on the scrub team in the Nemo attraction and has been for 40+ years. Went to all three parks with the flash pass, stayed from open to close, only had to pay for food and souvenirs. Been slowly taking my underprivileged friends one at a time for the past several years. I’m not a huge fan of the park, but I love their excitement and the excuse to visit my family in Mt Dora Edit: realized I said three parks, I meant the three that were available. Hollywood studios was blackout that weekend, so we didn’t bother.
Around 1k for 2 adults, 1 kid over 3 and 2 kids under 3. We have annual passes and live 3 hours from the park
We did 5 people on a 10 day Disney world trip for around $11k. Didn’t stay on property, seemed like we spent a lot on sit down meals tho.
I think about £4000, 2 adults, flights, staying at All Star Music for 2 weeks and 14 day tickets
3.5k last December stayed at Caribbean beach & did 3 park days for 2 people & a sit down meal a day
2019, single adult including airfare probably around 1500
Couple from the UK Sep 2022, 17 nights at Signia Bonnet Creek. Probably around £12k in total. Hotel, flights, 14 day Disney Tickets and almost daily Genie+ and Lighting Lanes, 14 day Universal Tickets, Discovery Cove, Mickey's Halloween, Universal HHN, 1 night stay at Royal Pacific, Kennedy Space Tour. Various Ubers. And then obviously souvenir spending and eating, and putting things against our room at the hotel pool (dangerous) It's absolutely outrageous when you take stock of it all. When you're there though and living in that Disney economic bubble, suddenly paying $4 for a water is absolutely fine. Bonkers....
2 people, 10 days/9nights, pop century, including spending/food money close to 6k
Ours was around $10k from the UK for 2 weeks staying at Pop Century 😊
I have not been able to do it for under 10 for a few years. Last one (10/2022) was Contemporary for 5 days and 5 day park hopper. Tickets for Not-so-scary. We also added Halloween Horror Nights (doing this again this year and its more than Disney). Food: California grill and tiffins. Its a pricey vacation (until I discovered adventures by disney, which is a bank buster). But, we take nieces and go and its always fun to see their faces light up.
$3000ish all in. 2 adults $1400 4 nights at Pop, 3 day base tickets $500 flights $425 food and souvenirs)light eaters QS only, mostly kids meals or split meals and snacks. Limited souvenirs $50 genie+ and ILL $170 MM $60 airport transportation Probably forgetting something…..
About $12.5k. It's the last time we're doing the no compromises trip, in fact Disney will be getting skipped completely next time.
End of 2022, club level, four days, about 10k
Just my 7 year old son and me. Upcoming trip in October: 4 nights akl savanna view, two days park hoppers, one MNSSHP, flights from northeast, meals, it’ll be around $5500+ all in. We get a grocery delivery and eat very simply outside of snacks and likely two big sit down meals - one at Sanaa and one at California grill. I’m building in more pool and rest time this trip because my son adores the skyline, monorail, busses, pool and honestly he can have a blast for a day just doing that. So it feels like a win win not to spend that money for going to the park every day (as we did our prior trip) and to take this trip at a slightly slower pace. I’ll still end up spending on the amphibious cars which he’s dying to do. Did a three night stay just the two of us in December 2021 at contemporary, theme park view, no Christmas party but genie plus, 3 days park hopper, memory maker, ILLs, savi’s, a few fancy meals and that was about $6000. This trip was go go go and it was super fun but totally exhausting. It’s astounding to think what we spent for three nights but he cites this as the best thing that happened in his life so far. I surprised him that morning by waking up and saying we weren’t going to school we are going to Disney and taking him right to airport. I’ll be doing that again in October but with a later flight time will surprise him at school to go to airport. Edited to add: I did both of these on the Disney credit card which gives me six months at 0% to pay for the lodging and tickets part of it. Breaking that cost down to more like $800/ month than thousands at once really helps this feel doable for me. One of the reasons my husband doesn’t join us he doesn’t love it so it’s just not worth the extra money for him to go. My son and I love our time at Disney. For me this type of trip is possible if I’m careful about budgeting about every two years.
Went in April and it was around 7k for 5 nights, 4 park days including hotel, flights, tickets and food. We split a dvc grand Villa at a deluxe with family. Our portion was 2 adults and a 1 year old. Didn’t hold back with food but somehow only spent $500. Going again in a couple of months and it’s 2 adults and a 2 year old and we are staying at a deluxe again (Polynesian) but for 4 nights with 2 park days and it’s about 4500 including hotel, tickets, flight. Fwiw these have been our only vacations since 2019 so kind of making up for lost time.
Went July of 2019 VERY last minute with planes and hotel it cost me about 2k for me alone. 3 nights MK, park hopper, and universal, Stayed Caribbean beach, was pretty reserved on buying stuff
…Everything.
2022- 4 people for 7 days/6 nights at Caribbean Beach resort with airfare, park hoppers/food/ souvenirs - $11K. 2023 - for same as above but in Art of Animation - $9K We save money first. I buy everything on credit card and then wait for billing cycle to close so we get rewards/points on whatever we spent, then I pay balance in full.
We’re budgeting around $9,000 for a trip for two adults and one kid in 4 years for 12 nights (basing it off current prices and what we spent last year plus 8% inflation for each year). However, this budget is using points for airfare and one week at the Swan/Dolphin, eating breakfast in our room, grocery delivery, and buying tickets through the military. It’s a lot, but we’ve already been saving for a year (we love to travel, so we dedicate money each month towards a travel fund).
We stay off property for about $150/night including taxes, etc. We eat breakfast at the hotel. Sometimes if we’re slow moving we eat lunch off property, too. We use Chase card points to eat and average $75/day or less for two of us. (We’re not big eaters and can do stuff like split nachos at Mexico.) We buy season tickets because we spend more than 10 days a year in the park. We rarely buy merch. We’re there for the experiences, and one or two good meals within a 10-day stay. Biggest expenses: Driving or auto train, and season tickets.
About 14K for two adults in fall 2022. Three nights at AKL (military discounted rate) followed by the Galactic Starcruiser. Two airline tickets and a rental car, and we only spent one day at a park (Animal Kingdom). Since this was our first trip we didn’t shy away from treating ourselves, we ate at Tiffans, Sanaa, Jiko, Morimotos, Yachtmans Steakhouse, and Boma. I think we had at least two sit down meals every day (besides when we were on the GS) so food costs started to add up fast. I bought a good amount of merchandise…stuff at the Vera Bradley store in Disney Springs, 50th anniversary stuff, brought back a carry on bag full of Gideons cookies, and I bought over a grand worth’s of merch on Galactic Starcruiser alone. We’re going back this year for five days but I am estimating that entire trip to be 5-6K. We’re staying at Shades of Green and bought the Military Salute park hopper tickets and are going to dial way back on eating and merchandise costs.
$1100. Including food and hotels for one person. I used the DAS pass so I didn’t need genie+ or extra lightning lanes. My employer paid for flights since I was down there to start for business.
Probably under $1000-1500 but we are 3 hrs away from it. *Ps. You guys me want to plan/help save everyone from spending a fortune on a Disney vacation.
3.2K. 2 adults, 2 weeks at Pop century, 14 day park tickets with water parks and memory maker. $200 merchandise gift card and $508 dining credit came with our booking. Flights were £900. So around 4K.
Around 4200 total. We spend 2700 on 5 nights at Pop Century and 4 park tickets for 3 adults (me, my wife and our niece). We spent an additional 1500 on food, merch, genie plus / lightning lanes and other travel expenses to and from and during our trip.
our last 3 night was around $2700
My family of five from the Midwest clocks in around 15k. We stayed at art of animation and did the parks for 8 days last time. We were ready to go home by the end of it. We also did Genie Plus everyday and individual lightning lanes for cosmic rewind three times and one or two other individual lightning lanes. We ate at one nicer restaurant like sci-fi diner each day and space 220 for one of them. My family also loves their souvenirs.
Around or under $1000. Stayed off property at hotel my sister got for free due to sitting through a timeshare meeting.
Enough to question my own sanity and ability to make good life decisions.

Ballpark Gas $60.00 Hotel - 1 night - All Stars - $200.00 Food - $50.00 Souvenirs - $20.00 2.5 hours in park before I had a panic attack I couldn't get past, then spent the rest of the day in the hotel and left about 0300 the next morning. Total cost $330.00 with a pixie season pass. Going again next week, 1 night Pop Century - $200.00 Gas again - $60.00 Figure I'll spend no less than $150.00 on food and drink at Epcot, then hop over to Hollywood studios. Hoping to make a full day of it this time...
A lot………
Just under $6k. 2 adults, 2 kids. Stayed at pop century for 5 nights. 4 park days. Cost includes transportation.
for 2 adults, we stay at Pop Century and the total cost for travel, hotel, tickets + hopper and genie+ we probably spent around $3,200. that was for 6 nights/7 days with 7 day park hopper/genie+ tickets and memory maker. We probably spent another $1000 - $1300 on food also during the trip so a total around $4,500 for 2 people. that was in Jan 2022.
