How My Family Spent $8,600 on a 6-Day Trip to Disney World, Universal
Business Insider • • technology
Key Points:
- A six-day Orlando family vacation for five, including visits to Universal's Epic Universe and Disney's Hollywood Studios, cost $8,620, with careful planning to maximize value and experiences.
- Flying from Cleveland to Orlando cost $1,451 but saved two vacation days compared to driving, and the family used Uber instead of renting a car to reduce costs.
- The largest expense was nearly $5,000 for a stay at Universal's Terra Luna Resort and four-day park-to-park tickets, with early park admission and proximity to Epic Universe enhancing the experience.
- The family skipped Express Passes at Universal by using their four-day tickets strategically, but spent nearly $1,200 on a single Disney day with Lightning Lane passes to maximize ride access.
- Credit card travel reimbursements and a $600 Universal hotel dining credit helped reduce the final out-of-pocket cost to about $6,700, while food and souvenirs were managed thoughtfully to balance enjoyment and budget.
