EPCOT

And some of the biggest decisions are around the budget. I mean, you’ve got to figure out how to get to Disney World, where you’re going to sleep, what you’re going to eat, and how you’re going to get back home, all on budget of course. Now, that actually got us thinking about the things that are 100% worth buying in Disney World, no matter the cost, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!

What do you think?

Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!

PhotoPass

Our Disney World memories are priceless, and that’s why you shared how much you love Disney’s PhotoPass since they’re there to help you capture them all. To that point, our reader Dulcie shared, “We are a family of 3 and nobody gets left out. We have the best photo memories with our daughter from age 2 to 19! And even now she uses it on her DCP! I love getting random pics of her enjoying her program ”

Joanna added, “I love having pics of me and my family.” Chelsea added, “As a mom, the only photos I have with my kids are usually selfies. It’s great getting to look back on our Disney memories and being able to show the kids that mom was there too ” If capturing those in-the-moment smiles is high on your list, PhotoPass is a worthy investment.

Lightning Lane

If waiting in long lines isn’t your idea of fun, Lightning Lane is your fast pass to bliss. It allows you to skip the standby line for select attractions, and our readers are adamant it’s worth every penny. For example, Jill shared, “Lightning Lane for your FAVORITE attraction. Me = Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Sid recommended, “Lightning Lane Multi Pass, if you want to do everything and not waste your day in long lines.” Barbie swears by it sharing, “Lighting Lanes, as my husband is not a Disney lover, so if we don’t need to stand in lines, the complaining is minimized.”

Staying on Disney Property

Sure, staying off-property can save a few bucks, but Disney experts agree that the magic of staying on Disney property is irreplaceable. Not only do you stay close to the action, but you also get early park access, immersive theming, and Disney-exclusive perks.

Pam shared, “Staying on property. Totally worth it.” And Dustin added, “Staying in a resort on Disney property.” There really is nothing like it.

Park Hopper

Now, if flexibility is key to your Disney World experience, the Park Hopper option is your new best friend. This add-on lets you jump between the Disney World parks on a whim (especially when you’re chasing those dining reservations!).

LET’S HOP!

Our reader Josh shared, “Park Hopper. I absolutely love the flexibility of being able to go anywhere, anytime on a whim, especially for dining reservations.” For anyone who likes to maximize their day, Park Hopper is a definite game-changer.

Refillable Mugs

Okay, this one’s for all the beverage lovers out there! Disney’s Refillable Mugs are a small but mighty investment that many of our readers swear by. These mugs give you unlimited refills at your resort hotel throughout your stay, and that makes them both a fun souvenir and a practical way to quench your thirst on those hot Disney days.

Our reader Gabrielle summed it up with a big “Refillable mugs ” because, honestly, who doesn’t love unlimited drinks?

Character Dining

We all feel meeting Mickey and friends is magical, but meeting them while enjoying a meal is truly like next-level Disney magic. Character Dining lets you skip the long meet-and-greet lines and enjoy quality time with beloved Disney characters at your table.

Farmer Mickey!

April, one of our readers, shared, “At least one character dining if you have kids who love the characters. The smiles and excitement they get is priceless.” For kids and kids-at-heart alike, character dining brings the fairytale to life and it can be worth every penny.

Whatever Makes You Happy

Maybe it’s Disney holiday decor, plushies, or that one souvenir you’ve had your eye on, but sometimes, the best Disney World investment is just going for whatever brings you joy.

To that point, our reader Steve shared, “Whatever makes YOU happy! Favorites of ours are PhotoPass and we make it rain in the Christmas Store.” Sometimes treating yourself to those “must-have” items really can be the cherry on top of your magical day.
