Let's plan your Disney World or Universal trip
A few questions so the planner shows you what matters for your trip and skips what does not.
Rather just describe it? Tell the planner about your trip in a sentence and it fills these in (unlocked planner).
When to go
Every month rated on weather, crowds and price, from Disney's own dated ticket prices, two years of Lightning Lane prices and 30-year weather normals.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass
One-time use of the Lightning Lane entrance at each participating attraction in one park, with no return times to book. Shorter waits, not zero waits, and availability is limited. Priced like a second ticket. Estimated per park day for your dates, with what it saves over Multi Pass and whether it is worth it for your party.
Special events and extras
Separately ticketed parties, after-hours nights, EPCOT festivals and the Candlelight Processional dining packages that fall inside your dates, plus the extras people forget to budget.
Ask the planner
Tell the planner about your trip in plain words. It fills in the steps; every number comes from published data, not the chat.
Prefer to skip the chat? Go straight to the steps.
What is real and what is not
- Published means a price range or rating taken from a named source on a stated date.
- Estimate means Mouse Money Planner did arithmetic on published figures with assumptions you can change.
- Yours means you typed it. A quote from Disney's checkout always beats anything here.
Overview
Work top to bottom. Each step feeds the budget.
Dates and party
Everything else prices off this. Change it here any time.
Ticket pricing data covers October 11, 2026 through October 10, 2027. Children under 3 need no park ticket and are left out of meal and Lightning Lane counts, but they count toward the party size for rooms, transfers and the six-guest automatic gratuity.
Tickets and park days
Pick a park for each day. One-day prices come from Disney's ticket calendar, updated every Monday, plus 6.5% tax. With two or more park days the budget prices a multi-day base ticket, Park Hopper optional.
Hotels
Every Disney and Universal hotel, priced for your dates. Choose one, compare up to three, or enter the rate you were quoted.
Dining
519 places to eat at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando (385 Disney, 134 Universal), with guest approval and published price guides. Price a meal, save it to the plan.
Drinks and extras (assumptions you can change)
Start typing a dish and pick it from the menu; the price fills in. Anything you type by hand is your own number.

Lightning Lane and wait times
The part everyone dreads, decided per park day: whether to buy, what it saves, and what the waits look like without it.
Lightning Lane in one minute
Book three timed return windows at once; each time you use one, book another. Covers most rides. The one most families buy. Price changes by park and date.
One ride only: the newest headliner in each park (TRON, Guardians, Rise of the Resistance, Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs). Sold on its own.
One use of the Lightning Lane entrance at each participating attraction in one park, with no return times to book. The Lightning Lane line is shorter, not always a walk-on. Limited availability; priced like a second park ticket. For a one-day, see-everything visit.
When to buy: guests of Disney resort hotels and select partner hotels at 7 am ET, 7 days before check-in, for up to 14 days of the stay. Everyone else with a date-based ticket, 3 days before the ticket's first day, for every day of the ticket (otherwise 3 days before each park day). Your booking windows are on the Overview page with a calendar button. Prices below are per person before 6.5% tax, from a 2026 sample; Disney sets the exact figure daily.
Your park days
Prices are estimated for your exact dates from posted Lightning Lane prices on the same days in prior years (daily history from April 2026 and the 2024 holiday season), escalated by the increase we have observed. When no posted price exists for a date yet, the estimate follows the seasonal pattern and says so. Crowd level changes the expected waits, not the price.
Getting there and around
Airport transfer options with published fares, a rental car, parking, rideshare, flights, trip insurance and the extras. Disney buses, monorail, Skyliner and boats are free once you are there.

Park day timelines
