Now that the pandemic is behind us, travel has resumed, and Walt Disney World is back to being its incredibly popular, magical, yet overly-crowded vacation destination that it once was, the desire to return to the magic has been strong, and over this holiday season, we can see that the demand is back.
While many want to visit Magic Kingdom to get that perfect picture in front of Cinderella Castle, the cost of a photo in front of the most photographed landmark in the world could send you into debt. In fact, according to a study, 18% of families actually go into debt when they book a Disney World vacation, and that study was based on 2022 ticket prices, with an average of guests spending $141 per person per ticket at the parks.
Disney park tickets have jumped to costing nearly $180 during peak seasons for certain parks, and hotel rooms are far worse.
When we see Disney commercials on TV, we tend to see the Deluxe level resorts displayed on our screen pulling us in. When you see Cinderella twirling in front of the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, it is easy to want to book a trip there. Move forward to when you are plugging in your dates online to see the total cost, and find out that the resort can, at times, cost nearly $1000 for one of the regular two bed rooms. Even some of the cheaper options, like Disney’s Pop Century Resort, can be quite costly after a week’s stay.
While Disney is not overly generous, they do offer discounts from time to time, and as of today, a new one has been offered for Florida residents, and it can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars off of your Disney trip.
Now, Florida residents can save up to 30% on their next Disney vacation in early 2024. The deal is available most nights from March 25th until July 7th, 2025.
