Quick answer

A 7-night Walt Disney World vacation for two typically costs $3,750 to $5,200 depending on when you go, covering round-trip flights, lodging with taxes, and food. September is usually the cheapest month (about $3,750) and December the priciest (about $5,200). A family of four should budget roughly $6,133 for the same week.

The breakdown: 7 nights, standard mid-range trip

Flight prices assume a central-U.S. departure; coastal origins run higher or lower. Lodging uses a moderate hotel rate with Theme Parks lodging taxes included.

How to bring the cost down

  • Travel in September or January. The same trip runs about $1,450 less than in December.
  • Watch the room category, not just the hotel. In Walt Disney World, the gap between a garden-view and oceanfront room at the same property is often $150+ per night. A condo with a kitchen also cuts the dining line meaningfully for longer stays.
  • Book flights and rooms 4 to 8 months out. Last-minute rarely wins here; airfare from smaller U.S. cities is the piece that spikes late.
  • Get a real quote instead of an average. These are honest baselines, but your dates, origin airport, and resort pick move the number. The instant calculator takes 30 seconds, and Courtney's exact quote is free.
