How Much Does a Disney Honeymoon Cost?

There’s no honeymoon destination quite as magical as Walt Disney World Resort. But is the cost as enchanting?

The average Disney honeymoon costs between $3,500 and $9,000.

The total amount varies significantly depending on the length of your stay, where you stay, your dining plans, theme park tickets, transportation, and all the extras.

Let’s take a closer look at the factors influencing the cost of a honeymoon at Disney World.

Why Disney World Honeymoon Can Be Expensive (or Inexpensive)

Honeymoons are a time to splurge and a time to create memories that will last a lifetime. That said, you don’t want to spend the first few years of your married life paying off your trip!

The great thing about booking a “Disneymoon” packages is that there’s one for almost any budget. You can go as extravagant as you’d like, or as modest.

A Disney World honeymoon can be as dressed up or dressed down, romantic or casual. You can have a relaxing, slow-paced honeymoon or an action-packed, non-stop honeymoon.

Whatever your goals may be, newlyweds are guaranteed to have an enchanting and unique honeymoon that only a Disney destination can provide.

The average cost of a Disney honeymoon ranges from $3,500 to $9,000. Of course, the total price will depend on several key factors – the time of the year you go, how long you stay, the hotel you choose, park tickets, transportation, your dining choices, extras like (PhotoPass+ and souvenirs), and other such things.

Disney accommodates all honeymooners regardless of how much they spend. You don’t want to go overboard, but you also probably don’t want to skimp on your honeymoon.

Major Expenses of a Disney Honeymoon

Your hotel stay may end up being the largest expense. You can go big and stay at a Deluxe resort or you can keep the emphasis on the theme parks and stay in a Value resort for roughly $200 per night. It’s your call.

Budget-friendly Disney Value Resorts tend to be simple and family-friendly. Most people wouldn’t describe them as “romantic” but they are located right inside Walt Disney World Resort, quite affordable, and most people find them adequate. For example, you can book a standard room at All-Star Music for as low as $118, and that includes tax. Rates can vary significantly depending on the dates you choose.

Disney Moderate Resorts have larger rooms and nicer features than the value resorts. Most people would find them more than adequate for a honeymoon, but your still not getting a luxury experience. Room rates vary depending on the dates. As an example, the price of a standard room at Port Orleans French Quarter starts at $256 per night (tax included) but the cost reaches over $400’s during some peak times of the year.

Disney Deluxe Resorts are Disney’s most expensive tier of hotels. Remember, it’s your once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon after all, and you might want to splurge. Deluxe resorts have nicer amenities overall – rooms, restaurants, lobbies, proximity to the theme parks, etc. They have nicer beds and linens and better transportation options. Rooms can range from $700 to $1,500+ per night.

Remember: resort stays do not include theme park tickets or food. You should plan on around $150 per person per day for park tickets and then another couple hundred per couple, per day, for food. This can be higher or lower depending on which restaurants you go to and how many extras you choose (snacks, apps, alcohol, desserts, etc.).

Tips for a Disney Honeymoon

Book Early: Many of the activities you’ll partake in at Disney World require advance reservations. Whether it’s a dining reservation, boat rental, or carriage ride, you’ll need to plan ahead and make your reservation well in advance. The Vacationeer can handle these aspects for you.

Plan your Photos: Photographs allow you to revisit your special trip in full color when you’re back home. They are important. We recommend getting to the park as soon as it opens and positioning yourself in front of Cinderella Castle (or some other iconic location). This will give you a clean shot before the crowds get in your way.

Relax: Your honeymoon should be about romance and relaxation. Don’t go overboard with your to-do list. Have fun at the theme parks and enjoy your meals, but take it easy and don’t rush. You can always return another time and try to see how many rides you can squeeze in each day – but not on your honeymoon!
