Children’s Pricing

Adventures by Disney has a surprisingly low threshold for adult pricing. Anyone age 12 or older pays the adult price for a trip. Only children age 11 or younger at the time the trip begins will pay the child fare.

Based on historical pricing data, children’s rates are approximately 5% less than adult rates. For example, if an adult rate is $7,000, the child rate would be approximately $6,650.

If you’re considering taking the family on an Adventures by Disney trip, it’s worth doing so before at least one of the kids hits age 12. The savings won’t be dramatic when compared to the total cost of the trip, but every little bit helps when planning a premium vacation.

Average Group Size

Adventures by Disney groups typically include 35-44 guests for Land Adventures and Escapes. Small Ship Adventures (river cruises) accommodate different group sizes depending on the vessel, typically ranging from 100-150 guests.
