10 Most Expensive Things to Do At Disney World Parks

10 Most Expensive Things to Do At Disney World Parks

Anyone who loves Disney is fully aware of how expensive this hobby can truly be. Going to the parks has many exorbitant costs, starting with ticket prices. Simply getting a single day ticket can be pricey, but if you want a full vacation it can be even more expensive. You have travel prices, hotel expenses, tickets, food and of course souvenirs.  While the basics can be rather expensive, there are some added bonuses that can make your trip even more insane, if you have the dough to dish out. Some of the things on this list are outrageously expensive Disney World thrills, others are just a little bit above the average vacation prices. Here is our list of the most expensive and exciting things to do at Disney World.

Cinderella’s Castle Suite- Priceless

The reason this goes on the top of the list is because no amount of money can win you a stay at this incredible Disney filled palace. Before 2006 the space inside of Cinderella’s Castle was empty, but now it hosts the incredible Cinderella Suite which has only been used by a lucky few people. It occasionally can be won as a sweepstakes prize, but that is not a very common occurrence. The castle suite is actually an invitation only room for most people, being chosen by the ones deemed worth by Disney. Occasionally celebrities have been allowed to enjoy the Cinderella suite, which is certainly something to be envious of. This incredible castle room is more of a fantasy for fans, although it isn’t actually an oversized quite.

Golden Oaks

While this isn’t priceless, it can be extremely expensive. Many people have mentioned their desire to simply live at Disney World, considering it more their home than their actually home. Well not with the right amount of money you can actually live at Disney. Golden Oaks is a fairly recent community built on Disney property, so that you can enjoy the magic for the rest of your life. Yes, this is completely real and yes it is very expensive. Some of these homes costs millions of dollars, but they are filled with Disney touches and are right next to Magic Kingdom. What could possibly be better than that?

Disney Weddings and Parties

Hosting a special event like your wedding day at Disney can be both incredibly special and also rather expensive. The packages offered definitely make your already special day, unbelievably magical- but they are also truly expensive. It really is amazing to host your wedding day or parties at Disney World, with some surprisingly and unique additions that make it something you will remember forever. The prices can range and become rather high depending on what you are looking for, but the basic package is still one of the more expensive things you can do at Disney.

Special Tours

The special backstage tours can last around 5 hours but they can also cost thousands of dollars. You get a tour that includes things regular guests don’t get to experience and insider information on how to make the most out of their vacation. While these tours can be packed full of excitement, you will certainly be missing a lot of your cash from this one.

Africa Trek

This personal experience is great for anyone who truly loves the Safari aspect of Animal Kingdom. This is my personal favorite park at Disney World, and the ability to really see the animals in a habitat similar to the wild, is so rewarding. Disney takes such amazing care of their animals, you can see this in how healthy and happy they look. The Wild Africa Trek is a special experience and tour that you can only take part in if you have the extra cash to do so. It costs around $180 per person, but there are even more personal packages that can be closer to $250 per person. The appeal is that you get to be in a small tour group, and you will walking around getting much closer to the animals and getting a chance to take photos of them with your tour guide. You also get to enjoy a delicious lunch out on the safari, looking out at the beauty around you.

Disney Special Events

While the special events are not the absolute most expensive option, if you are adding them to your already pricey vacation it does add up. The tickets usually cost around $100 per person, but they don’t include a regular hopper or already purchased ticket. These are special events like the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, and their special Christmas Party as well. These are some of the more exciting events that guests often want to partake in, with special fireworks, shows, food, merchandise, and even special characters that can only be seen during the events.

Dolphin Experience

It isn’t just Sea World that allows you to encounter the dolphins firsthand, Disney offers this as well. The packages have a price range of $145-$200 depending on what you are looking for. You get to enjoy personal time swimming with the dolphins, which is certainly a popular event for older kids. Anyone who loves sea-life will want to take this opportunity, as it is definitely a magical experience. As someone who enjoyed this as a kid, it is something any animal lover should look into.

Makeovers

Most of the makeovers are intended for children, but there have recently been some offered for adults. It usually costs around $200 and up for packages, but you can give your kids a full glammed out makeover. They can dress like their favorite princess, with the entire makeover included from the dress to the hairstyle.

Deluxe Resorts

Some of the deluxe Disney suites can costs hundreds of dollars for one night, making your entire vacation cost insanely high. Some of these special resorts are incredibly luxurious, with additions that other hotels simply do not provide you. Hotels are already some of the most expensive options, but when you add the deluxe resort stays you are talking about spending some serious money.

Character Dining

Dining at Disney is already one of your biggest expenses, as everything seems to be pricier than normal (even bottled water, no joke). When you decide to book a restaurant with character dining, you are talking about paying much more than usual. Some of them can be easier to afford, while others can definitely be pricey for an entire family.

 

While some of these things are nearly impossible for the average person, other options are within reach. These events and special experiences might seem crazy to some people but they will definitely make your Disney experience even more magical.
