How Much Does a Week at Walt Disney World Cost?
For a family of four, a week at Walt Disney World costs about CA$3,000 to CA$5,400 per person, including flights from Toronto or Montreal. Most of the gap comes from the hotel, meals and paid add-ons. You can cover part of it with travel points.
Flights are the item your points cover most easily. The RBC Avion Visa Infinite card offers up to 70,000 Avion points, worth up to $1,500 in travel according to RBC, for applications made by November 25, 2026.
Disney, Orlando hotels and local transport companies publish their prices in US dollars, and we quote them as is, in US$. Flights from Canada and budget estimates (gas, meals, souvenirs) are in Canadian dollars (CA$). Except in the budget table, prices are before Orange County's 6.5% sales tax in Florida, where the parks are located.
How Much Does an All-Inclusive Trip to Walt Disney World Cost?
Our calculation for two adults and two children over 10, 7 nights at a Disney hotel and 5 park days in January, comes to CA$12,070 to CA$21,470 for the family, or about CA$3,000 to CA$5,400 per person. The table below gives the detail.
| Item | Budget scenario | Comfort scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Round-trip flights (4 people) | CA$1,816 (Toronto, $454/person) | CA$3,036 (Montreal nonstop, $759/person) |
| 5-day tickets, 1 park per day (4 people) | US$2,060 + tax | US$2,060 + tax |
| Disney hotel, 7 nights | Port Orleans French Quarter, US$299/night + taxes | Wilderness Lodge, US$529/night + taxes |
| Lightning Lane Multi Pass (5 days, 4 people) + Memory Maker | none | US$925 + tax |
| Mears Connect round trip | US$128 | US$128 |
| Meals (4 people, 7 days) | CA$2,800 ($100/person/day) | CA$7,000 ($250/person/day) |
| Souvenirs and extras | CA$800 | CA$800 |
| Family total | ≈ CA$12,070 | ≈ CA$21,470 |
| Per person | ≈ CA$3,020 | ≈ CA$5,370 |
Prices shown in October 2026 for a January 12 to 19, 2027 stay. US-dollar amounts are converted at the Bank of Canada rate of October 6, 2026 (US$1 = CA$1.4226), with the 6.5% sales tax on Disney purchases and 12.5% in taxes on the hotel. The ticket shown is Disney's lowest price: it rises over the holidays and spring break. Your card often adds a 2.5% conversion fee to every purchase in US dollars.
This budget remains an average: you can cut back on the hotel to enjoy more of the parks, or keep basic tickets and treat yourself at restaurants. Leave some margin if you travel during school holidays, the most expensive time of year.
Transportation to Orlando
To save money, you can drive there: it pays off with three or more people in the car. We invite you to follow our tips for getting to Orlando by car.
Plan on about CA$350 in gas for the round trip in a sedan. Then add a hotel night or two on the road, at about CA$150 each, plus meals, tolls and snacks.
By air, expect CA$454 to CA$506 per person for a nonstop Toronto-Orlando round trip, and CA$673 to CA$770 from Montreal (CA$759 nonstop), for a January stay (fares shown in October 2026). The cheapest fares often exclude a carry-on bag: check what is included before you compare. Prices rise over the holidays and spring break.
Disney Parks Ticket Prices
Walt Disney World ticket prices depend on the time of year, the Disney park visited and the number of days selected.
A one-day ticket starts at US$119 before tax for ages 10 and up. The longer you stay, the less you pay per day: from US$103 a day for a 5-day ticket (US$515), and from US$82 a day for 7 days.
You’ll need to select a visit date when making your purchase, as well as your preferred park: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park.
You’ll also be able to choose from a number of paid options, allowing you to visit more than one theme park on the same day and enjoy a certain number of visits to a water park.
Keep in mind that a trip to Walt Disney during the holidays, Halloween, Christmas or American Spring Break can cost much more than at other times of the year.

Prices for Lightning Lane and Memory Maker options
These options save you time in line and give you photos of your stay. They remain optional, and they pay off most during busy periods. The Lightning Lane Multi Pass even includes downloads of the photos taken on select rides that day.
Prices still vary according to the time of year, park traffic and high demand for the ride.
At the time, I paid $20 for an Individual Lightning Lane, since replaced by the Lightning Lane Single Pass, for Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. It was totally worth it: the wait was 20 minutes instead of over 2 hours for the regular line!
Here are the prices:
- Memory Maker: US$185 if you buy it at least 3 days in advance, otherwise US$210
- Lightning Lane Multi Pass: about US$15 to US$37 per person, per day, depending on the park and date (2026 prices)
- Lightning Lane Single Pass: about US$11 to US$25 per person, per ride (2026 prices)
To purchase a Lightning Lane pass, you’ll need to download the latest version of the My Disney Experience app.
Meal Prices for Disney Trips
Your meal budget depends mostly on how many table-service restaurants you book.
To dine in any of Disney’s fine sit-down restaurants with character encounters, at the famous Space 220 or the luxurious Be Our Guest restaurant in the Beauty and the Beast castle, plan around CA$250 per day, per person.
To save, you can have groceries delivered to your hotel from a local Walmart. Some hotels, such as the Residence Inn Orlando at Flamingo Crossings Town Center, even offer rooms with kitchenettes.
If you eat mostly at quick-service counters and pick a hotel with free breakfast, you can get by on about CA$100 or less per person, per day.
Disney parks have irresistible snacks, like a tasty pineapple Dole Whip dessert, a Wookie Cookie or a marshmallow Mickey, that add to the budget.
Hotel Rates at Disney or Off-Site
Walt Disney World Resort hotels come in three categories: Value, Moderate and Deluxe. For a January 2027 stay, expect about US$299 a night before tax at Port Orleans French Quarter (Moderate) and US$529 at Wilderness Lodge (Deluxe). Value hotels, such as Disney's All-Star Movies Resort and Pop Century, are the cheapest on site. Add 12.5% in taxes to each night.
Another option is the Marriott chain, which offers a diverse range of hotels, including:
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Orlando at Flamingo Crossings Town Center, from about US$129 a night in January, with free breakfast and park shuttles.
Delta Hotels Orlando Lake Buena Vista, from about US$98 a night in January, which also includes a free park shuttle.
In fact, through the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, you can stay here free of charge with the welcome bonus points from the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* card. With our ultimate Marriott Bonvoy guide, you’ll find out how to earn and use your points.
Another interesting Marriott location is the more upscale Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, from about US$550 a night in November, resort fee included, with a free park shuttle.
Finally, there’s also the option of staying in an Airbnb or independent hotel close to the parks. Here again, the magic of points will save you money on your overnight stays.
Add taxes and, where applicable, resort fees to the bill.
Prices for Parking and Transportation
To get from the airport to a Disney hotel and back, you have two options:
- Uber or Lyft: fares vary with the time of day and demand, so compare both apps before booking
- Mears Connect: US$16 per person per trip for ages 10 and up, US$13 for ages 3 to 9 and free under 3, or US$128 round trip for two adults and two children over 10
Then, the shuttles and transport system between the parks are extremely well organized: you usually don’t need to rent a car between the hotel and the parks.
If you drive your own car to Orlando, factor parking into your Disney budget. With a stay at a Disney hotel, you pay neither theme park parking nor overnight self-parking at the hotel for the whole length of your stay.
If you stay outside Disney hotels, standard theme park parking costs US$35 per day, and your hotel’s parking, which varies widely from one property to the next, comes on top of that.
Disney Souvenir Prices
You will find it hard to resist: a shop waits at the exit of almost every ride.
Loungefly bags, magnets, Minnie ears: you will find them in every Disney shop on site, priced in US dollars. Of course, stores like Target, Walgreens or Walmart in the Orlando area sell much cheaper ones.
Plan on an average of CA$50 per person for souvenirs.
Unexpected Costs to Plan For at Disney
Keep some room for unexpected spending: Disney offers plenty of chances to spend.
“While we’re at it” or “We’re only here once, so we might as well make the most of it” can quickly stretch your family budget.
- Wi-Fi and data: from US$4 with Airalo, or US$25 for 7 days of unlimited data
- Cooling towels and portable fans for hot summer days
- Disney band (formerly MagicBand+): optional, since the My Disney Experience app gets you into the parks without one. It is sold on site only, as Disney does not ship it outside the United States
- Tickets for special events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (US$119 to US$229) or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (US$189 to US$229), before tax, depending on the date (2026 prices)
- Bottled water, coffee, items forgotten at home, sunscreen, new clothes for the trip, passport to be made or renewed, spontaneous spending at Disney Springs, exchange rate swings, credit card conversion fees, etc.
To be safe, plan an average budget of about CA$150 per person for these “just in case” items.
Disney Travel Agencies With All-Inclusive Prices and Disney Packages
If you would rather not book anything yourself, a travel agency handles it all.
Their service is often free, and you’ll get an all-inclusive Disney vacation at a single price. The person at the agency will make all hotel, plane, restaurant, and ticket reservations.
Disney also posts seasonal discounts on its special offers page, usually on rooms or room-and-ticket packages. Check them before you book: they change with your travel dates.
Sites such as Costco Travel also sell Disney packages.
How to Pay Less for Your Disney Trip
Your credit card points remain the most effective way to cut the bill. We invite you to read the testimonial of a reader who saved over $7,600 at Disney thanks to loyalty programs and credit card points.
The RBC Avion Visa Infinite card suits you if you mainly want to pay for flights with points. Its medical insurance covers the first 15 days of a trip under 65, and only the first 3 days from age 65: beyond that, you need extra coverage.
