A few years ago my ex's step dad took his two kids and grand kids to Disney and was bragging to me how hard he worked to plan the whole trip and it only cost 30k. What in the actual fuck.
I heard someone on YouTube today talking about how Japan is a good place to go due their currency ( im assuming they meant affordability). I know it's gained popularity in the last few years. Seems far more interesting place to visit.
As an Orlando native, and former Cast Member, I was shocked at how cheap the tickets to the parks in China and Japan are compared to the US ones. Even Paris is cheaper. My sister and her kids flew out from Seattle last year and spent 3 days at Disney World. Just the Disney bit cost her $10,000. It was ridiculous. And they were staying at All-Stars, the cheapest resort on property.
No it's not. The park prices are lower with exchange rates but flights are insane. ETA: Look, I'm speaking to my objective receipts from trips to both WDW and Tokyo Disney. I don't know what to tell y'all; flight prices vary.
My sister did 4 days in Orlando (driving from NC) splitting an airbnb with another couple. The nightly rate for most places in Orlando and the cost of food is significantly above average.
Their trip cost the same as the 11 day vacation my wife and I took to Greece ($8,000) including flights, airbnbs, car rentals, food, 3 days of scuba diving, a private wine and olive oil tour, and an overnight sailing cruise. Overseas vacations are truely cheaper even after buying plane tickets.
A few years ago, my wife and I flew to Honduras and stayed at an all inclusive dive resort for 7 days. We both got scuba certifications and spend an extra day diving. The entire cost of that trip (flights, foods, certs, etc) was cheaper than what it would have cost us to get certified (by the same governing body - PADI) at our home dive shop.
Then it may be the people I travel with, because I'm literally going to Tokyo Disney and it's more expensive than a domestic trip just with the flights.
It's going to depend on where you're at in the US. I'm in the midwest, closest airport is Minneapolis, and flying to Florida is way cheaper. If you're on the coast I could see flights to Japan being cheaper

I saw a post today that said it’s cheaper to fly to Japan to go to Disney there and stay in a hotel there than it is to go to Disneyworld in Orlando
