Traveling to Disney: how much does it cost each time in 2023?

With your passport and US visa, it's time to learn the best time for your trip to Disney Orlando. The month you choose will directly influence the total cost of your trip to Disney, as during certain months, due to high demand, prices almost double.

If your goal is to spend as little as possible, it's worth planning your trip to Disney Orlando outside of peak school year months. But keep in mind that student holidays in the Northern Hemisphere are at a different time than in Brazil.

Furthermore, there are cases where certain celebrations are only created during a specific period. For example, many people wish to participate in Christmas at Disney, or in Halloween parties, so they will have to go at a specific time.

By the way, after several trips to Orlando, we learned a lot about the destination and our trips became perfect. Since then, we've compiled several tips we've learned and put them in the post "What to know before your trip to Orlando." We hope you enjoy it.

How much does it cost to go to Disney in 2023 during peak season?

The peak season in Orlando is in December, June, and July, with the highest volume of visitors in the first weeks of January and August.

In December, at the start of winter, average temperatures reach 17ºC and the parks are packed during the last two weeks of the month due to the end-of-year festivities. The Christmas decorations and Disney holiday specials make Orlando a huge success, so travel costs will be enormous.

June and July are vacation months in many parts of the world, including Brazil. Therefore, these months tend to be busy at Disney and other Orlando theme parks, as Americans and Europeans from the continent are enjoying their summer vacations.

In addition, the Fourth of July holiday draws crowds to Orlando. The weather during these months is hot and stifling, easily reaching 30ºC during the day.

In August, the busiest time is during the first two weeks, due to American student holidays, but after that demand decreases. As a result, prices drop and so do the lines at the parks. However, be prepared for the intense August heat at Disney Orlando.

From March to April are spring break periods, when American and Canadian colleges and universities give students two weeks of vacation, spread throughout the month. Orlando is quite busy and the parks have long lines; however, the dates change from year to year, so it's necessary to check the exact dates. High demand means higher prices. Also check if there are any holidays in the United States during the time you intend to travel to Disney Orlando, as these dates can also increase demand and costs.

However, if your availability is only during the peak season months, remember to book your hotel and other travel resources as early as possible to get a good deal.

How much does it cost to go to Disney in 2022 during the off-season?

The low season runs from the third week of January to the end of February. This is an amazing time to plan your budget-friendly trip to Disney Orlando.

Despite the cold weather which can make visits to water parks difficult, both theme parks and shopping malls are less crowded. Promotions on tickets, hotels and even in stores become a great incentive.

May is one of the best months to enjoy Disney Orlando. The temperature is pleasant, there is no rain, and the parks are empty, except on Memorial Day, the last Monday of the month.

From late August to November, queues at the parks are very short and demand is lower, making hotels and tickets cheaper. Only during certain holidays during these months do prices and traffic tend to rise.

October is cited as the best month to visit Disney Orlando because the weather is good, the parks are empty, and decorated for Halloween events. We've been to Orlando on several occasions, and October remains our favorite month, especially due to the lower prices.

It's worth mentioning that, starting in 2018, Disney park tickets have fluctuated in price depending on the season, the months with higher or lower demand, and the days of the week.

By the way, you can buy your tickets for all Disney parks and attractions in Orlando in advance through our website, with the guarantee of finding the best price on the market.
