If you look at the right time, usually in February, the magic moments resort which is just down the road (not a Disney resort) has rooms for 70 per night, yet the quality is of a moderate value disney resort
Thank you! Yes, you can find some GREAT moderate deals if you choose the right season and dates! Coronado is SUPER underrated and consistently has great rates for a moderate resort. Unfortunately value plus has gone up a bit since the Gondola’s have been added. You’re paying for the extra convenience for sure.
You mention that the moderate plan is worth the extra money but your numbers said it’s $5 cheaper. I’m so confused that you didn’t make a bigger deal of the value discrepancy for the explicit example you provided.
Thank you. I was surpised by the prices. I just came from a Disney Cruise and we spent abt 3,000 for 3 of us. I expected it to be more for a trip. We want to go in 2023 for our 20th anniversary. We will have to add a round trip flight to the cost, but this is a good starting point.
I love this so much!! I’m planning a trip for me and my best friend and we both broke collage students are want to have fun at the same time. Thank you!
This is really helpful Risa thank you 👏. I'll be taking my girlfriend this summer and I agree with you, the Deluxe package definitely checks all of our boxes as well. Keep up the good 💪work!
YAY! So glad it was helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊 Let me know if you have any other videos you’d like to see! I’m posting a Disney Good Neighbor video tomorrow with pricing as well.
We are planning our first ever trip to Disney World! I have never gone more has my husband or kids. So we have no idea where to even start. Things to do, how to keep it cost effective, what resorts are located on site/close to parks, if it’s worth to stay in Disney World or not, if we need transportation, we’re traveling from Texas, what to wear, how to build an itinerary, etc but this gave me such a simple easy to understand and kind of get an idea of how to get started ❤️❤️❤️ Quick question too…what’s the best way to book stays?
Took myself in 2008 with a 2+6+9 years old and we are Florida residents We stayed 3 nights 4 days! I went on a dime budget we went to all parks and spent no more than $777 it was truly a Blessing from THE MOST HIGH GOD ✝️✝️✝️🙏🏾💜💜💜 I would go with a good girlfriend in 2002 with my 1 year old and I would go off and on since then, never spent over 1,300 last time was in 2014 P.S. We wouldn’t eat at the dining area only snack here and there turkey leg etc. We would go to a buffet for breakfast and dinner 🥘
So glad to hear you had a magical time! ❤️ You can definitely do a Disney trip for less then the packages I put together. This is an example of an “on property” stay at one of Disney’s resorts. This usually makes your stay a bit pricier, but in my opinion is worth every penny!
I’m just thinking right now if I keep saving now before I have to pay taxes I could take my boyfriend on a nice vacation lol but I also need money for other things
LOL! Yea… it’s quite pricey. Definitely something you need to financially plan for. You can also stay off property and save a bit more. I need to do a video on “Disney Good Neighbor” resorts so you can get an idea for the price difference! Another great option for a Disney vacation 😊
Hello Joe! No, unfortunately I do not have a similar video for Disney cruises. We just started cruising not too long ago. But this is a GREAT suggestion.
Im taking my boyfriend on a trip to Disney world for his 18 birthday because he has never been. I just calculated everything out thanks to this video and I will be able to get the Disney World Value package for 2 adults by the beginning of next month and I will be able to get our round trip tickets by march. He deserves the world and I would do anything for him. our trip all together with the package and the round tickets comes to $2,681.06. How much spending money do you think we should set to reach?
So I have a question, when you mention the food services .. does that mean it comes included within the price of the resort stay? For example: the food is paid for or do we still have to pay for the food ? Maybe I silly question but I just wanna make sure
You still have to pay for the food. When I say food services are available, I mean that food is available on sight at your resort. But it is an additional cost per meal. Disney used to sell dining plans, but those have since disappeared post pandemic.
The pricing will not change much in the next year. The biggest impact on pricing will not be the year, but the season/time of year you choose to visit.
Agreed, staying off property will always be cheaper. But staying on disney property will always be more convenient and will keep you fully immersed in the “magic” of Disney. You’re ultimately paying for convenience and the “Disney Experience”/the quality that Disney provides. It all comes down to what you personally value as a visitor.
@@risaanasmiles i guess when money is not a issue it would make sense to go all out and do it right . So people go every because they have the funds . Disney world is truly a a magical place and is the happiest place on earth .it is a experience not just a a vacation
@@akbarbukhari Yes Jay, you do make a good point. I definitely forgot to take into consideration the budget factor. Either way, a visit to Disney is truly magical whether it is on or off Disney property. But depending on your budget you might get more bang for your buck on Disney property considering you do not have to rent a car to get to and from the parks, nor do you have to pay for parking since you will be using Disneys complementary transportation services. You have to take every factor into consideration before making the right choice for you and your family.
Really helpful video. 🙏!!! My husband and I plan to go to Florida Disneyland with my 2 years and 4 years old kids in the middle of January 2022 and this will be our first trip to Disney world. Just wondering what is the price for us?
Very exciting! It’s hard to give you an estimate without knowing which resort you would be staying at and what ticket package you purchase. I would just look at the category in my video that best fits your budget and add 1 additional child to your package.
It can be affordable if you choose to go during a “slow” season and stay at a value resort. You can even try a “Disney Good Neighbor Resort”. Those are none Disney resorts who get Disney’s “stamp of approval” and are usually close to the parks and offer transportation as well!
Would it be better to use a travel agency, or just book everything yourself including air plane tickets? What about a rental car? Is that really needed?
If this is your 1st time ever visiting the parks, I’d consider the option of booking through a travel agency if you are feeling a little overwhelmed. But in my opinion the Disney website is extremely user friendly and really does all the work for you if you book directly through there. You can book your lodging and purchase tickets and all the other “magical extras” that Disney has to offer directly from the website all in one transaction. You can also play with different resort levels and dates to get a better idea of what dates and resort levels best fit your budget. Disney also has a wide variety of “Good Neighbor” hotels and resorts on their website as well if you choose to stay “off property”. As for the rental car, it is absolutely not necessary if you stay on Disney property as Disney has all the necessary transportation you need at NO COST to and from all their resorts and parks. If you choose to stay off Disney property than I would consider a rental. But this would be an additional cost that you will have to factor into your budget as you will have to pay daily parking fees at all Disney parks, and at some hotels and resorts depending on where you stay, not to mention gas expenses as well.
@@XxStonedImmaculatexX How exciting! I hope my video and response were helpful. If you have any other questions along the way just let me know! Disney chat is also very helpful if you need a quick response.
The cost of food is not included for any type of food service. It is an additional cost at all levels of food service. Disney use to offer dining plans/packages at an additional cost, but they have not brought them back since the pandemic.
CORRECT! The only addition would be if you wanted to “park hop” to another park in 1 day. In that case, you would have to purchase the PARK HOPPER add on which ranges from $65-$85 depending on your stay.
@@risaanasmiles WOW! you made my life easier, thank you for responding! Also, do you have any tips on where & how to book park tickets for universal studios??
@@marlabeatriz2215 No problem, glad I could help! Use this link to purchase your Universal Studios tickets: www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/tickets-packages/park-tickets
3 Fast passes automatically come with each ticket. But as of now, Fast Passes are not yet active. Disney has not yet made an announcement for when fast passes will return.
I'm pricing a 3 day trip for next year at the all star resort and it comes out to $3200 for 2 adults and a 6 year old child. How is it that big of a difference than what you came up with??!
Prices fluctuate depending on the season. They are not fixed. What month are you going? Have you already paid? I’d like to see your room and ticket package selections. Something in your selection is significantly raising your total.
@@samanthamakingcents663 I calculated your stay at the Disney All Star Music Resort (I wasn’t sure which All Star Resort you chose so I used that one for reference). I calculated a stay there between Oct. 7-10 with 2 adults and 1 child at the age of 6 with a 3 day base ticket per person, and the total came out to $ 1,931.19. I am not sure why your total is so much higher.
Hey! No worries, it can be confusing. YES, the 5 day park admission allows you to visit 1 park per day. There are 4 parks, but the 5th day can be used to double up on your fave park or go to a Disney water park! 😊
I only included official Disney operated resorts. The Walt Disney World Swan and its sister resort, the Walt Disney World Dolphin, are part of the Epcot area. While the Swan is located on Disney property, it is not operated by The Disney Company. The Swan is a premiere Westin resort.
Wow, this is so helpful! Trying to plan our first trip to Disney world and this is so easy to understand and straight to the point. Thank you!
So glad it helped!! Let me know if you have any questions or what else you want to see a video on 😊
