Disneyland is a popular, but not cheap place to stay. A four-day meeting with Mickey Mouse for a family of four, on average, will cost more than $ 4000.

If you live far from Anaheim, California, where Disneyland is located, a flight for four people will cost about $1600. Tickets to Disneyland for four days will cost about $1000 - so you've already spent almost $3000, and that's not even staying. And hotels near Disneyland are not cheap. A family of parents with two children can spend about $2000 for four nights in a hotel. Naturally, the cost of living can be reduced if you stay in a hotel further away from Disneyland.
