[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the people responding to “is Disney World too expensive?” With “just fly to Japan or France— Disney is cheaper there!” 🙄

OP, it’s a personal choice whether it’s worth it. We tacked one day at Disneyland on to a national park trip to CA. Our teen & tween had never been to anything Disney. We researched, planned our day, stayed at the park all 16 hrs it was open & all had a lot of fun. But my kids could also have a perfectly happy childhood never visiting Disney, of course. [/quote]

Honestly off peak ticket prices fo Paris can be $800/person from hubs and peak prices to Orlando can get pricey. Given the price difference in staying on site and park passes it's not a particularly wild.

We've done the same, both for Disneyland in California and Paris and personally I think it makes for a more enjoyable overall vacation. Some kids could do Disney all day but it's hard to know that until you get there (or have done it before) so with little else to do if Disney World becomes overwhelming or not their cup of tea you're sunk.

Pick any day of the year when the direct flight from this area to Orlando is cheaper than the direct flight from here to Paris.

Xmas is a busy time of year for Disney. I just priced BWI-MCO and back 12/23-12/30 for $627 round trip on Southwest. They run 9 direct flights a day from BWI, and 3 from DCA. Add in United, American, Frontier, Jetblue, and Delta's flights and you're up to 32 direct flights a day on 12/23.

To Paris there are 2 direct flights a day, one on Air France, one on United, and those are coming to $1,940.

So just to transport our family of 4 to Paris is $7,760 vs $2,508. In reality, we plan ahead so we get our tickets to Orlando for about $250/person round-trip.
