I asked my dad how much it would cost to install French doors and giant windows in our living room.

His response?

It depends.

Every time I ask him how much a certain update will run us, he answers the same way. “It depends”.

Which used to drive me crazy. I just wanted a ball park number to wrap my brain around!

And now? Ever since becoming a Disney-specialized travel agent? I get it. The most frequently asked question I get is what to expect cost-wise for a Disney trip, and every time my response is “it depends”.

There are just so many different variables that come into play with a Disney vacation, that it’s almost impossible to give any kind of range with accuracy.

So, sorry dad for always being annoyed with your answer. I get it now.

But, I also get why that answer is annoying, which is why today I wanted to come in and share a few sample packages to give you an idea of what your trip MIGHT cost you, and also why the variables can make such a difference.

Please note: I am not guaranteeing that I can get a similar package for you – prices and offerings at Disney World are always subject to change. These are merely examples given to give you a small idea to wrap your mind around.

Variables to Note

Before I get into the sample packages themselves, I want to make sure you’re aware of what sorts of variables matter when looking at these and pricing out your own packages.

Hotel Tier

When it comes to Disney World hotels, there are three tiers – Value, Moderate, and Deluxe. I go over this in much more detail in this blog post, but obviously the more deluxe a resort, the higher the price.

Room Type

There are so many different types of rooms on property at Disney World, that I’m not even sure Disney itself can keep up. Standard view, preferred view, garden view, water view, theme park view …. And those are just to begin with. Then, you’ve also got some hotels with Club level. Which has added perks, with added costs as well.

Travel Dates

As with any hotel, the days of the week you’re staying make a difference with cost, but so does the month you’re traveling. Hotels and packages are going to be more expensive during the summer than they are in the winter, and week days will be cheaper than weekends.

Party Size

This is fairly self-explanatory. The only thing to keep in mind here is that children younger than 3 will get into the parks for free.

Tickets

There are many, many variables when it comes to tickets as well. (All of which I go into much more detail of in this blog post.) You’ve got add-ons like park hopper, water parks, and Genie+ that increase the cost. But similar to hotels, the days that you’ll be in the parks also influence ticket pricing.
