A Grand Time

Good old Disney days (2016): no masks, no social
distancing, and not having to break the bank.

It's cheaper to stay at Disneyland in Paris for a week, including plane fare, than Disneyland Anaheim.

a recent report from KTLA’s sister station shows that a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim is now nearly twice as expensive as traveling to Disney in Marne le Vallee, France.

This month, the outlet reported that...in June 2022, it costs a total of $4,571.50 for two people to stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel – the cheapest Disney [Anaheim] property resort available – for six nights with five days of park tickets included.

Meanwhile, at Disneyland Paris, the cheapest on-property hotel, the Hotel Santa Fe, was quoted at $2,173.66 for seven days of theme park tickets and a six-night stay (no meals were added on and no insurance was selected). Even with a $1,456.74 flight from Los Angeles to Paris included, the experience would still come out to a grand total of $3,676.06.

Overall, travelers in this scenario could save $895.44 by going to Disneyland in Paris instead of Anaheim.

The cost differential is even higher for Bay Area parkgoers, since we would have to drive to Anaheim. At current gas prices we would save at least a grand by going to Paris.
