Is Disney too expensive for the average family now?
This week, John, Dayna, and Shawn break down real vacation pricing for summer 2026 and compare:
Disney value, moderate, and deluxe resort costs
Universal Orlando pricing (including Epic Universe)
Dining plans and hidden expenses
Where you actually get the most value
Whether the “Disney is unaffordable” narrative is true
We priced out full family vacations with tickets, hotels, and promotions to see what a middle-class trip really costs — and the results may surprise you.
Plus:
The new Disney CEO announcement and what it could mean
Why promotions can be a “shell game”
When Universal might actually be the better deal
And the one resort category where Disney still dominates
If you’re planning a 2026 trip, this episode will save you money — and maybe some stress.
