A recent Wall Street Journal article highlights the rising costs of visiting Disney World and Disneyland, making it a challenging vacation goal for many families. Originally intended by Walt Disney to be an “affordable playground,” the parks now feel out of reach for numerous households due to price hikes and reduced complimentary services like FastPass+.
Despite a minor increase in park attendance in the last fiscal year, more visitors are reconsidering their future trips. Many families are finding it hard to justify the expense, and some even resort to going into debt to afford the visit, as noted by a family who managed a trip only due to a generous inheritance.
While Disney maintains its attractions are financially accessible to middle-class families with various pricing options and promotions, the growing expense may be discouraging for some. For those looking to budget their trips, tips include traveling during off-peak seasons, choosing value accommodations, and seeking Disney discounts.
