Here’s a quick and simple breakdown of how much it costs to go to Disney World this year.
Park tickets, hotels, food, merchandise, transportation, special events, and so much more.
Time-Saving Roundup
Here’s how much a 5-night vacation at Walt Disney World will cost for a family of four (2 adults and 2 children):
- CHEAP = $4,110
- STANDARD = $6,185
- LUXURY = $9,820
And here’s how much it should cost to go to Disney World for only two adults:

These prices all include staying in a Disney hotel and eating on-property. You can save a lot more money by staying off-property.

- 1 Park Per Day (adult) = $462 – $640 per person

To learn more about Disney World ticket pricing, I went ahead and put together a comprehensive article that breaks down all the costs for each park and ticket type, including add-ons.

Throughout the year, you can find some pretty significant ticket discounts as well as seasonal promotions. Here are some of the safest place to purchase discounted tickets:
- Official Disney World website = 10% – 40% off
- Undercover Tourist = $10 – $85 off

Cheapest Time of Year for Tickets
The cheapest time of the year for park tickets at Disney World is the last week of August and the entire month of September excluding Labor Day weekend.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass are additional add-ons to your park ticket that you can purchase in order to reduce wait times at select attractions across all four parks.
Here’s how much the Multi Pass and Single Pass costs:
Multi Pass Price
The Lightning Lane Multi Pass costs between $15-$39 depending on which park you initially book it for.
Single Pass Price
Here’s how much a Lightning Lane Single Pass costs at Disney World:
- TRON = $20
- Rise of the Resistance = $15 to $25
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind = $14 to $17

Park Hopping with Multi Pass
If you decide to park hop with a Lightning Lane Multi Place and you start at a cheaper park then proceed to a more expensive park, you will have to pay the difference in price before you can book Lightning Lanes at the next park.
Likewise, if you start at the more expensive park and then move to a cheaper park, you will not get a refund of the difference.

Split Stays at Disney World
When you book two or more Disney hotels during your vacation, Bell Services can transfer your luggage to the next hotel free of charge.
This is super helpful for the money conscious travelers especially if you plan on staying at a Deluxe hotel for a couple nights and then finish up your trip at a Value hotel.
You technically can’t book a Split Stay online at time of booking, so in order for this to happen, you’ll need to make two separate hotel reservations with the second one starting on the checkout date of your first hotel.

Disney World is always running some sort of special offer, deal, or discount.
Hotel deals tend to hover around 30% off while multi-day tickets are usually discounted around 15% off.
