Think twice before you decide to spend up to $600 a night at a Disney hotel. These tips will help you save big vacation money.
When she was a college student in the 1970s, Kristen Taylor had the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World DIS, +4.04% on many occasions.
Still, she says if she were a college student today, she’s not sure she would have the luxury of enjoying the occasional visits to the Magic Kingdom that she treasured years ago. “It has now become a luxury-priced destination,” said Jason Cochran, editor-in-chief of Frommers.com. “Now you could pay as much as $160 a day to get into a park, and inflation has not increased at that rate.”
The individual ride tickets were categorized by letter, A through E, with the latter tickets being reserved for the most popular attractions. “From personal experience, ‘A’ tickets were always left over at the end of the day — but you used all your ‘D’ tickets and ‘E’ tickets,” said Don Munsil, owner of travel website MouseSavers.
A more expensive experience past the gates People often point to the cost of theme-park tickets as evidence of Disney-flation. But the costs of other aspects of a trip to Walt Disney World have risen just as much as the cost of entry. “‘One day at Disney World — with a hotel and food and everything — costs either as much or more than 80% of American households spend on vacations in any given year.’”
The impact of COVID-19 on Disney’s pricing Looking to the future, a question mark that remains is what the long-term impact of COVID-19 will be on the cost of a Disney World vacation. — Jim Hill, a theme park historian and blogger It remains to be seen whether Disney will introduce similar promotions as it recovers from the pandemic slowdown. As of now, the focus has largely been on reducing operational costs, travel experts noted. For instance, Disney introduced a reservation system where visitors must reserve a day they will visit a theme park in advance, even if they’re an annual passholder.
Don’t buy tickets directly from Disney: Numerous companies are “authorized resellers” of tickets to Walt Disney World and they can provide a discount. Typically to get the biggest savings, you’ll need to purchase multi-day tickets. “Shop around, make sure you’re getting a good deal and go with somebody reputable — I wouldn’t buy tickets on eBay and stuff like that,” Munsil said.
