Disney World Ticket Prices

The cost of Walt Disney World theme park tickets varies, depending on when you plan your vacation and how many days you’re planning to visit the parks. You can also increase your ticket cost by opting for extra add-ons, like Park Hopper or Park Hopper Plus.

Ticket prices start at $109 per day and can reach as high as $189. Adding on options like Park Hopper can increase the per-ticket cost to $183 to $252.

If a family of four – two adults, two children – wanted to visit for seven days, theme park tickets with Park Hopper added would total:

• During peak season: $3,542.20 ($842.48 per adult and $820.67 per child)
• During non-peak season: $3,100.34 ($738.30 per adult and $717.26 per child)

Staying at a Walt Disney World Resort

If you’re planning to stay on-property at one of Walt Disney World’s many resorts, you have a lot of choices – and options at three different price points. 

Here’s a look at what it would cost to stay in a standard room at a value, moderate, and deluxe resort during the peak season:

• Value resort (Art of Animation): $2,227.50 ($330 per night)
• Moderate resort (Disney’s Coronado Springs): $2,143.14 ($317.50 per night)

Disney World Airfare Prices

Assuming you’d need to fly to Walt Disney World, here’s a look at a sample cross-country flight price ranges, during both the peak season and non-peak season. These prices assume you’re flying from LAX (Los Angeles) to MCO (Orlando), and cover both nonstop and connecting flights:

• Peak season: From $369 to $830 per person
• Non-peak season: From $228 to $448 per person

Assuming you choose the cheapest flight available for each season, your airfare costs for a family of four would roughly cost you:

• $912 during the non-peak season

Walt Disney World Vacation Total Cost

If you’re looking at the most affordable dates for your trip, a 7-day Disney World vacation during a non-peak season, with a reservation at a value resort, with airfare, would cost $5,420.84. That total covers the primary expenses for a family of four, with Park Hopper theme park tickets.

That same vacation would cost $7,245.70 during the peak season.

Of course, it’s important to point out that these total cost estimates don’t include food – and dining can be a significant expense, too! The cost of your food during a Disney World vacation can really vary, though, depending on what types of restaurants you choose to dine at, if you eat every meal out, and if you opt for extras like the Disney Dining Plan.

Each Disney hotel features a star rating to hint at its price range, from 0 stars to 5 stars. Options like the popular Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel are the most expensive, while the Cars-themed Disney Hotel Santa Fe is more budget friendly.

Hotel reservations and theme park tickets are bundled together, so booking your stay on Disneyland Paris property will include 2-park theme park tickets for the same number of days as your hotel reservation.

You can either buy a 1-day ticket or a 2-day ticket – but there are no longer multi-day ticket options like you’d find at Walt Disney World in Orlando or even Disneyland Paris.

Which is Cheaper: Visiting U.S. Disney Parks or International Disney Parks?

As you can see below, the difference in cost between U.S. Disney parks and international Disney parks isn’t huge! In fact, you’re likely to spend between $4,000 and $5,000 total whether you head to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA or Disneyland Paris in France. 

Airfare is really what makes the difference in cost between the international and U.S. Disney resorts. Depending on the flight prices you’re able to find – and how much it costs to fly out of your preferred local airport – it can make heading to the international destinations reasonable or out of reach. Without airfare factored in, the costs of visiting the international Disney parks isn’t too far off from Disneyland, California and Walt Disney World, Orlando.

When it comes to value for your money, Walt Disney World offers more days for less. You can spend a whole week at Disney World for less than 4 days at most international Disney resorts! However, Disneyland Park in Anaheim is a close second, offering 5 days of fun for a relatively reasonable price compared to 4 days at international theme parks.

It’s also important to keep one detail in mind: We didn’t include the cost of food and souvenirs in our estimates. These two factors do increase the total price (especially with all of the adorable international merch available!). 

Ultimately, a Disney vacation to an international destination like Paris, Tokyo, or Hong Kong can be quite similar in price to spending a similar amount of time on vacation at Disneyland in Anaheim. It all really depends on your preferences! If you’re looking to spend the most amount of time at Disney theme parks, Walt Disney World offers a great “deal” in value; however, if you stay off-property at other Disney destinations, you may be able to cut costs and spend less even with international travel.
