Question for those who have been to Disney World lately - what to expect price wise

Just go to their website and put in those dates. You can pull up current resort rates and park ticket costs.

Curious why you would skip out on Hollywood? Not sure your daughters age but there may be more for her there than at Epcot.

Also, factor in the cost of Genie+ if you plan on using that. It costs more during peak times (when you are going).

You'd really have to price it all out yourself because the costs can vary drastically from resort to resort, whether or not you get park hoppers, and whether or not they have a special going for when you're checking in like this

But, rough ball park without pricing it myself...three people, 3 day park hoppers, moderate resort during a holiday week (more than likely no discount).....$3000 ish. You can save money by not doing park hoppers but I don't suggest it. Invest in things on this trip that give you flexibility so even if it means staying in a value resort (Pop Century) over a moderate, I say get the park hoppers.

How old is your daughter?

I would highly recommend a day in the middle to relax at the hotel pool, go to down town disney, and just rest from the parks.

The parks are usually long days with a lot of walking, so doing three parks in a row can be very tiring. I've done 4 parks in a row and the first 3 we did rope drop to close so its very doable don't get me wrong, but I htink its a more enjoyble vacation to take a day off.

ETA: I'm going to assume you aren't an OT baller since you are asking the price, so I would suggest just staying at an all star and maybe even looking off property. If you go big with your hotel the first time, its hard to downgrade. The big hotels are nice but I wouldn't say money well spent until you are experienced and use one with walking benefits. Your daughter will still be blown away by the All-star level hotels and Disney in general, and you'll save a chunk of money.

FWIW, the Disney planners are free and will help you budget. Its basically a bunch of moms that love disney and do it as a side hustle to get free disney trips. Your wife probably knows someone that does it. They are paid by commission through Disney

My recommendation is don’t stay at a Disney property at all. You can get a nice hotel off site for half the price of a crap “value” Disney resort.

I don’t understand the value of the “value” hotels on site. They used to have a lot of perks that came with staying on site, but now it’s basically just the shuttle.

There is quite a big difference in price depending on where you stay. The on site resorts are extremely expensive. Look for Disney affiliated hotels that give you the perks of getting in the parks early but can save you a ton on money. We just booked a trip and staying at Double Tree Suites at Disney springs for our 6 night trip saved easily $1000 versus a disney resort.
