The Price of Magic

Episode #438 If you are a Disney fan, then you are probably talking about this. It's no secret that prices have been going up for years, but recently, it feels like everything is increasing all at once. From tickets to food to hotels... even some of the little things we used to take for granted. Some previously "free" perks have disappeared or changed. Add-ons like Lighting Lane and dining plans can add to your total cost. Disney is investing heavily in new attractions and experiences. But wait, we are going to tell you a few things Disney is offering this spring and summer to get you into the parks. The key now is to plan smarter, plan your dates, and know where your money is going.
