Here is a breakdown for my disney part of the trip I had last may, 2 adults, 3 teens.
Flight (transatlantic) - 5500$
Hotel - 2000$ (total 7 nights, outside the bubble)
Disney tickets - 2000$ (magic tickets, 4 parks, 5 people) + 180$ for the photopass.
Car: Rental - 475$ per week + 120$ for the parking on disney.
Food - one disney meal at 150$, also 50$ for lockers to put all the sandwiches and snacks we packed.
Supermarket, gas, souvenirs - who kept track :)

So - one week at disney for a family of 5 - 10, 000$ + expenses.

And then add 30-33% if you’re Canadian. We are going in October and it’s going to cost us (2 adults) $6000, not including spending money. This is for flights, All Star Resort, food (no meal plan), and 4 days at the parks with Park Hopper. But it’s my 50th birthday, my sisters first time going in her life, and going during the Halloween season. We see the value and hope to have a great time.

We went a few weeks ago and I spent close to 4k between me and my 2 nieces. I went in 2019 and spent a little over 1k for myself. Disney is definitely cutting perks, such as the free transportation to and from the airport and free fast passes if you stay with them.

My trip in November cost me a little over $2000. I’m going alone.
This price does not include airfare.
I’m staying at Pop Century.
5 day park hopper.
I didn’t buy the meal plan.
And round trip with Mears Connect.
I may still buy the memory maker but still deciding.
Sometimes, it’s nice to be single.
I only need a place to sleep and shower. I’ll be spending my time in the parks.

I always say it should cost about half of what it does

[GreekIrish]

For us (couple in our early thirties), it costs $2, 800 for our flights, tickets, hotel and food. Thats for 6 nights at an All Star hotel and four single park tickets, but includes a special event. It could be probably be $400 less if we ate cheaply, but the food is a huge part of what makes Disneyworld great.

4 nights in May 2024, Family of 4 at Wilderness Lodge Fireworks View room with Dining Package and Park Hopper tickets: 4, 600. Booking during the 30% off sale in January (rooms just under 600 per night, about 2, 400 total), plus the tip on which days had the lowest parket tickets here on DFB was the biggest help.

My partner and I booked through Costco and went Aug 6-12. The package was $3775 for 2 people before food. The package included flights from NV to FL with upgraded Main Cabin Extra seats on AA, 4 park hopper tickets, Mears connect transport, and the Kennedy Space Center Tour through Gray Line Orlando add on. We ended up buying Hollywood Studios After Hours and Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets so all in all about $5000 with food and extra tickets. It could have been much cheaper but we paid for quite a few extras like plane seats, a moderate hotel, add on tours, special event tickets, multipass 3 days, single pass 3 days and theme park table service dining at least once a day.

Stay off property (pay less), we normally only do 2-3 parks only and do other things in Florida.

After tickets, hotels, and food is covered. We normally budget $200 per park.

Also we do a separate cash card with $500 emergency. In case our cards get lost or something.

being Canadian and doing the conversion in my head.... then crying

If you don't have a Disney Visa card, get one and pay as many bills as you can on it. I did this, and within a year had about $1000 worth of reward points to spend. The card additionally gave me 10% off nearly all my Disney purchases (including most food), plus exclusive access to a few character photo ops. Taken all together for our group of 4, I'd say we saved nearly $2k off our trip from what we otherwise would have spent. And that doesn't even count what we saved on hotel costs by being DVC members instead of paying cash. Even if you are not members, you can rent DVC points for your hotel instead of paying directly and often save quite a bit of money.

It would be really nice if your guides could include what it be like for your international viewers to visit the park- and clarity on how all the passes work❤

[tacoandmemes]

Answer: A lot! But we love it and keep going back. We stay at the WDW Swan. Deluxe accommodations at moderate resort prices. Best location, too!

[angd]

If you stay off site transportation costs are such a factor. And if you are with other people you are at the mercy of what they want to do. We did that once and never again. It's just not worth it.

[KarleighKing]

$1, 800 for 7 nights at Pop Century. $1, 540 for 6 day park hopper tickets for a family of 4 (military salute tickets). Driving down next month! So excited ❤but trying to stay on budget is stressful

[ryanheying]

Going with friends so I’m only paying for myself. Use a southwest visa to build up points. Use those for my flight. Doing 3 day 3 park ticket and staying in Marriott for $75 a night. This trip for me is going to be around only $750

[janellkiersnowski]

With the baby all the Minnie Vans!! Omg, God send! They are angels driving those vans.

[BusterBronco]

We’re heading down to DW in 2 weeks.
Total budget for two adults $7, 500
7 day park hopper, offsite hotel near Disney Springs, food, air Uber etc

[jeffreyhughes]

2011 I paid $5200.00 including airline tickets for three (2 adults and an 8 year old) at the Grand Floridian for 7 nights, hopper passes with dining plans. I distinctly remember having buyers remorse while on Pirates of the Caribbean...

[gregoryfaith]

Excellent video!!
As a lifelong WDW vacationer, planning our next visit is paramount around here. These days, reason why I have already started my third part time job to pay for just transportation around the Orlando area. Job #2 pays for food, drinks and incidentals. Cheers!!
