Yes, it can be expensive. But I found ways to save. I paid $250 for a week at a timeshare, $300 for a 7-day base ticket, bought food at a grocery store for breakfast and lunch meals. Dinner was at someplace inexpensive.Walter C said:Yeah, it is unbelievable how expensive the prices are, and only seems to go higher each year. I went to Disney World the last 2 years, and each time, paid about $350 for a 5-day pass that included a Park Hopper (which is about $50 in itself, a necessity for those going solo, like myself). And even at my attempts to save money by packing a lunch each day, which tends to be bland after a while, and relying on water fountains, I just can't resist the Mickey Mouse ice cream bars, and the water from the fountain tastes like metal (probably done deliberately by Disney, to get people to buy the overpriced bottled water). I probably eat about 3 per day. Still, I don't regret going at all, and would be crazy enough to go back again, though I may try to visit another Disney park for a change this year.
