food IS a theme park
If you’ve ever planned a trip to Disney World, you might understand that it’s more expensive to go on some days than on others.

Hotel rates will and do fluctuate during certain times of the year, Genie+ prices go up, and, yes, even park tickets could cost you more. Now we know a LOT of you are planning your 2024 Disney World trip, so we’re breaking down the most expensive days to travel there.
The 2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner in Disney World, and there is a LOT to prepare for! It started on July 27th and runs alllll the way until November 18th this year.

First off, you’re going to want to take a look at those food booth menus so you can map out which items you want to grab while in the parks. You should also probably check out the lineup for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series to see which artist will be performing while you’re at the festival, or even to schedule your trip around a certain artist! We’re getting you ready with our guidebook to the festival, our free printable for all of the food booths, and some sound advice, but there is one major thing we need to talk about — BUDGET! So, let’s break down what an actual realistic budget looks like for EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival.
Three days, $500 each. Can we pull off the BEST TRIP to Disney World EVER?
Disney World
Let’s find out!
Disney World’s Value Resorts are not only a way to stay on-property without spending tons of money, but they also feature fun theming throughout the entire resort.
Who will come out on top?
The All-Star Resorts are part of the Value Resort family with each having its own unique theme: Music, Movies, and Sports. These resorts have plenty in common but by no means are they identical!
Starbucks is EVERYWHERE, even at Disney World!
No time for Starbucks when you’re rope dropping a park!
You might want to continue your usual Starbucks routine even while on vacation. While this is an option, there are a few reasons why you may want to skip that iced latte!
We will ALWAYS talk about Disney food on this blog, and that’s a fact — it’s in our name!
Nothing like a good ‘ol Mickey Premium Bar!
We try all the new snacks, restaurants, menu items, you name it in the Disney parks, because, well, it’s our job. Let’s be honest though — Disney food is EXPENSIVE! We decided to ask our readers how much they spend on Disney food a day on their trips, and most of them said they spend over $100 a day!
Who’s ready to take a trip to Disney World in 2023?!
Magic Kingdom
With TRON opening, the updates getting completed at EPCOT, and so much more, there’s a lot of excitement awaiting us this year in the parks. And now, if you’re planning a trip, you might be able to score some big savings with new deals online!
Do you buy a lot of souvenirs when you visit Disney World? Can you just NOT help getting another pair of Minnie Ears, loads of pins, plushes, and other souvenirs?
Disney Merchandise
SHOULD you be buying all that stuff during your trip? Well, we’re not going to judge you for it (how can we when we’re staring at our ears collection hanging on our walls?). But here’s the thing — we should stop buying so many Disney souvenirs, and we have some very good reasons for why!
We’re not going to sugar coat it: Taking a trip to Disney World is expensive.

That’s why it’s important to stay aware of all of the potential deals and discounts you can get, when the most expensive times are to visit the parks, price increases, and more. But, another major issue that’s affecting almost everything in the U.S. right now is inflation. So, how could inflation impact your 2023 trip to Disney World? We’re breaking it all down for you right here.
We get it. Disney is EXPENSIVE! For some families, this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip that they put a lot of time and energy into saving up for. So what if we told you you could save anywhere from $500-$1,000 with this simple change?
$62 per person?? Too rich for my blood!
Besides accommodation and park tickets, the next most expensive part of any vacation is food. If you’re planning on eating out for every meal while visiting Disney World, that can add up quickly! A family of four could easily rack up charges adding up to over $1,000 just for a five day trip (and that’s only counting lunch and dinner!).
