Cost Of Christmas
The National Retail Federation estimates the average consumer will spend over $1000 during the 2018 Christmas season. This includes food, décor and over $600 allotted to presents alone. Think about last holiday and how much you spent per child for holiday gifts. Many families spend as much as $300 per child, with the electronic age we live in those numbers can climb higher.
One-Day Tickets
One-Day Park Tickets (valid for one day at any Disney World main theme park) start at $109/per person. These tickets are nonrefundable and valid on your date of choosing only. However, if your ticket expires and is still unused, Disney allows guests to apply price paid for a whole unused ticket towards purchase of new ticket (price must be equal to or higher, and pay difference).
Flexible Dates Option
The Flexible Dates options allows guests to avoid choosing dates at time of booking, for an extra cost (averaging $20/per ticket). This allows guests use of ticket prior to end of current year. Under this option for guests with multi-day tickets, your tickets need to be used within 14 days of first use choosing. Otherwise, guests will choose their date of use.
Lowest Ticket Prices
Disney has a new online tool to find the upcoming months that offer the lowest ticket prices. Simply click, “See which months offer the lowest ticket price“. Lowest ticket prices are typically offered select days in January, February, May and September each year.
Gifts Under The Tree
Of course, Christmas does not feel complete without something under the tree. Consider gifts that coordinate with a Disney trip such as new Disney T-shirts, Luggage, Mickey Ears and more. Read why you should visit the Dollar Tree. Then, add a Disney Gift card in the stocking. ShopDisney has various fun Character and themed gift cards. Best of all, Disney Gift Cards never expire.
Cost: 1 Day At Magic Kingdom Family Of 4
For as low as $453.70 ($109 for guests 10+, $104 child age 3-9 and tax included), a family of 4 could go to Magic Kingdom for the day. Other cost factors include: food, Resort and travel costs. Add up your total for a day (or more) at Disney versus what you would spend in presents.
