Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, or the Ministry of Magic? We're comparing all three Wizarding World of Harry Potter lands at Universal Orlando, from theming and attractions to the little details that make each one unique. Which one comes out on top?

Disney just released so many details on their newest ship, the Believe, and it got us thinking what our ideal Disney cruise ship would have.

Disney ticket prices are going up. Again. But as the cost of a Disney vacation continues to climb, are guests actually getting anything more in return?

This week on Backlot Tours, we're talking about Disney's latest ticket price increases, what they mean for guests, and whether the value of a Disney parks vacation is keeping up with the price tag. From the overall cost of a park day to what guests can realistically expect for their money, we're breaking down the frustration, the expectations, and the question Disney fans keep asking: How much is too much?

Is Disney still worth the price, or are we reaching a point where the magic comes with too much of a markup?
