It’s no secret that a Disney World vacation has gotten more expensive in recent years. There’s the increase in Disney Parks ticket prices, the increase in Disney merchandise prices, and the addition of the still newish Genie+ system that have all added dollar signs to trips. And that’s not even counting transportation to the parks and resorts after the Magical Express went away.
Before the pandemic I was a frequent Disney World visiter, but in recent years my husband and I have been spending more time at Universal Orlando, thanks to new, exciting attractions such as the VelociCoaster and the opening of Minions land. But Disney also has some new and upcoming attractions, so, when we recently decided to give Disney World another whirl, we looked at one of our former favorites Animal Kingdom Lodge, and we absolutely shocked at the sticker price.
