"It is expensive and getting more expensive."

Sally French is a travel expert at NerdWallet. They recently looked at the cost of a trip to Disney and found on the 1low end a 7-night trip for a family of four costs 2roughly $6,000; the 3high end, more than $15,000.

But there are ways you can save.

"There are plenty of off-4property hotels that are still nearby that are much cheaper to stay at."

Another way to 5cut costs, visit one 6theme park per day.

According to Disney's website, pricing varies by day, but a one-day theme park ticket can cost between $169 to $189 7depending on the park.

A Park Hopper will cost you 8upwards of $200 per person per day.

"You might need to 9cram in multiple parks in one day, in which case a Park Hopper makes sense."

Disney does offer dining plans for guests to help keep down the cost, but packing your own food can help save a lot of money.

Here's where your bill can really 10add up.

Disney offers Lightning Lane passes to help you 11bypass those long lines.

Multipass prices can cost up to $39 per person per park.

Then there are the VIP tours, which can cost $450 to $900 an hour.

"Those people who are 12keeping up with the Joneses who want to have everything— all the 13bells and whistles—they might need to budget $15,000."

Another way to save, don't visit when kids have off of school.
