Why I Dropped My Disney Annual Pass

Why I've stopped visiting Disney World despite having moved to Florida just to be closer to it. As someone who loves to travel, I've seen how Disney's magic has been overshadowed by skyrocketing costs. From ticket prices doubling to the introduction of paid Lightning Lanes, the expenses seem to be rising faster than ever. Plus, the long lines that used to be a rarity are now the norm, making a fun day at the park feel more like running a marathon.

In this video, I break down the numbers and share my personal experiences to give you a clearer picture of what a Disney vacation really costs these days. For a family of four, a week at Disney can run over $7,000, and that’s without factoring in all the pricey extras like dining plans and merchandise. I also react to some TikToks that highlight just how much people are spending on everything from park tickets to overpriced souvenirs. It's eye-opening to see how much more affordable a trip to Europe or even Hawaii could be for the same price.

I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, and I'd love to hear from you all. Are you still holding onto your annual pass, or have you, like me, decided that the costs just aren't worth it anymore? Let's have a conversation in the comments about how we can still enjoy travel without breaking the bank. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next video, dreamers! Until then, happy travels!
