We know about the typical Disney World souvenirs like Spirit Jerseys, Minnie ears, popcorn buckets, and more, but there are also some super cool and unique items you can get while visiting Disney World! Cinderella Citizen Watch There are rare pieces of art, limited edition items, super over-the-top versions of normal souvenirs, and even souvenirs that you only ever dreamed of having as a kid. We recently found an awesome souvenir in Disney World that is over 2500 years old! Yeah, you read that right! There’s a souvenir in Disney World that is thought to be from around 400 B.C. Over at Art of Disney in Disney Springs, you can find these Salvaged Ancient Redwood carvings. The ones we saw are Haunted Mansion themed! Ancient wood carvings of Phineas the Hitchhiking Ghost These are made from ancient salvaged Giant Sequioas that are estimated to be over 2500 years old. But, don’t worry — no trees are harvested for lumber to create these carvings — they are carved from 100% salvaged Redwood. The pieces of wood used are remnants of Giant Redwoods that were felled by mid-century loggers before modern conservation measures were implemented. The wood was salvaged and preserved from private land under a Department of Forestry approved salvage plan. Origins of the wood Each of these carvings are hand finished and super detailed. The darker colors you can see are actually achieved by gently burning the outer surface of the wood use a pen torch. As you can see, these are themed to the Hitchhiking Ghosts! Gus! And, each carving comes in a handmade finger-jointed wood crate that’s distressed and decorated like a mid-century fruit crate. The crates are also branded with the Disney Rondel logo using a real branding iron, along with an edition number that matches the one on the carving. The carvings come with a Disney certificate of authenticity as well. As these are super limited in quantity and made from ancient trees, they do come with a hefty price tag. Pricing But, one of the coolest things about these carvings is that the artists will be gifting a limited number of free, live Giant Sequoia seedlings to collectors at D23 to plant their own “Future Old Growth Redwood Tree.” So, buying one of these carvings can help plant another Giant Redwood that will potentially live for THOUSANDS of years! Such a cool piece to own! Mickey Mouse and Jiminy Cricket are the first 2 additions to the series, which is planned to grow to include many more editions. And, each addition to the series is limited to 150 units, so it’s a pretty rare Disney piece that you can own! The Haunted Mansion 50th carvings have several options you can own — the 3 Hitchhiking Ghosts (Ezra, Gus, and Phineas), the Mansion Plaque, and the Bat Stanchion. Haunted Mansion 50th carvings How many people can say they have a piece of art that’s older than modern times?! We’ll keep an eye out for other cool Disney souvenirs, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

You can learn a lot by listening to the people in charge! That probably sounds like pretty obvious advice, but when we’re talking about Disney World, news comes from all sorts of places. Although we like to consider ourselves Disney experts, we still have TONS of burning questions about the future of The Walt Disney Company. What’s coming soon? Will TRON ever be complete? What’s the deal with EPCOT right now? We NEED to know! There’s always something new happening in Disney World! If you’re like us, you might want to hear about an upcoming Disney Q&A.

Disney announced that Christine McCarthy, the Senior Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer of The Walt Disney Company, will participate in a Q&A session at an upcoming Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference. The event will take place on Monday, March 7th at 5:25PM ET. We wonder what she might discuss! It remains to be seen how much McCarthy will be allowed to reveal, but we’re hoping to learn some new information! The Q&A session will be live-streamed over a webcast on The Walt Disney Company website. Disney asks listeners to tune in 5 minutes prior to the start of the presentation. The Walt Disney Company has boasted some impressive numbers lately! During the Q1 Earnings Call earlier this year, Disney shared some information on the total number of Disney+ subscribers, park capacity, and more. CEO Bob Chapek recently commented on the park capacity Since then, we’ve seen some changes to the Disney Genie+ system and updates to the health and safety guidelines, so we’ll be interested to see what McCarthy will discuss.

Refurbishment is a regular part of life in the Disney Parks. Every so often, Disney attractions close for routine maintenance needs, and Imagineers give our favorite rides a little TLC. Everyone needs a break once in a while — even Disney attractions! Sleeping Beauty Castle There are several fan-favorite Disneyland rides on the refurbishment calendar for 2022, and today one of these iconic rides is closed. Find out when you can ride it again here! As of today, February 28th, the Matterhorn Bobsleds are closed for a short refurbishment. The Disneyland refurbishment calendar currently states that the Matterhorn is scheduled to reopen on March 5th. Matterhorn The Matterhorn Bobsleds opened in Disneyland in 1959, and it was actually the first tubular steel roller coaster in the world! The ride has been through a number of refurbishments and changes since then, and it’s known for its speedy twists and turns. It might even whip you around so much you walk off the attraction with a sore back! Cast Members are informing guests of the temporary closure If you’re hoping to ride the Matterhorn during your trip, mark your calendar for March 5th. Keep in mind that this date is subject to change, but we’ll be sure to let you know if anything changes on the Disney calendar.

One of the most frightening moments in Disney World occurs right after the Magic Kingdom fireworks end, and you find yourself carried along in a veritable sea of humans all trying to exit the park at the same time. But what if we told you we could make that experience much less terrifying? Crowds We just discovered an excellent Magic Kingdom hack that can make your end-of-the-night experience a delightful time instead of a stressful nightmare. And here’s a bonus — it involves eating a tasty snack! One of our top Disney World dining tips is to learn to use Mobile Order, which is how you can avoid waiting in line for food at some counter service locations in the parks and at Disney hotels. You can use your phone to order food and choose a return time, and when that time arrives, you’ll head straight up to the counter to pick it up. Mobile Order sign at the Confectionery We often recommend making these orders right when you get to the park so that you’re not stuck with a hangry group at lunchtime while you’re frantically trying to find a close pick-up time. Mobile Order sign in EPCOT Usually, Mobile Order is available only during park hours (or during the restaurant’s specific hours, if that spot isn’t open all day), but we just saw that some Magic Kingdom restaurants have Mobile Order available past the park’s closing time! Casey’s Corner A few spots on Main Street, U.S.A., have the option to pick up food using Mobile Order past 9PM today (Magic Kingdom’s closing time). The Main Street Confectionery and Casey’s Corner both have windows that extend past closing time. You can grab treats from the Confectionery all the way up until 10PM… ©Disney …and Casey’s Corner has Mobile Order windows available until 9:30PM. ©Disney In addition, the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor (which does not have Mobile Order right now) is open until 9:30PM. ©Disney So if you find yourself caught in the huge crowds of people exiting Magic Kingdom right at the end of the fireworks show, you might be better off stepping out of the crowds and ordering some popcorn, a hot dog, or candy from a nearby restaurant. Grab a treat instead! Or, better yet, order the food earlier in the day and set the pickup time for later on at night so that you’re all set to just head into the restaurant once the last firework goes off above Cinderella Castle. That way you won’t run out of time to make the order before the windows fill up. ©Disney | Make your mobile orders early! With this new hack, you can be merrily snacking on a Confectionery caramel apple or Casey’s corn dog nuggets (don’t forget the plastic cheese!) while you take a break in the Hub and allow the crowds to disperse behind you. Corn dog nuggets and plastic cheese Once the initial wave of people has exited the park, you’ll likely have a much less stressful trip home. Let the crowds disperse first! We checked the Mobile Order times for the other three Disney World parks, but right now Magic Kingdom is the only park with Mobile Order windows available after park closing time. We’ll keep an eye out for any changes there. Keep following DFB for more tips as you plan your upcoming Disney trip! See 10 tips for watching Disney World fireworks WITHOUT crowds!

Air travel has seen numerous issues in the past couple years, but the numbers do seem to be on the rebound. Orlando Airport Due to the pandemic, flights have been canceled, restrictions have been put into place, and less people were traveling in general. But, these numbers appear to be picking up again as more and more people are traveling and flying. We’ve seen unusually high crowds in Disney World over the past several weeks, and now, Orlando’s airport has seen a big increase in crowds as well. WFTV reported that Orlando International Airport was the busiest airport in the country over the weekend, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Orlando Airport in August 2021 TSA said that MCO was the busiest airport for departures in the nation on Saturday with over 78,287 passengers. Orlando Airport Then, on Sunday, MCO was the 4th-busiest airport in the country with over 74,772 passengers, according to WFTV. They say these numbers make this weekend the busiest in the COVID-19 era. This tracks with the big crowds we’ve been seeing in Disney World lately. And, it’s not a surprise that this weekend was so busy at the airport, especially because the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend took place at Disney World and brought out large amounts of people. Disney Princess Half Marathon Expo During this weekend last year, MCO had 40,577 and 44,642 passengers respectively, so this year saw an 80% increase compared to last. The airport’s all-time record happened on March 16th, 2019 with 90,804 travelers. Orlando International Airport With these numbers indicating a major increase in travel, it’s possible that we could see even higher numbers in the upcoming weeks as the Spring Break season starts. For the month of March, Disney World already has days where Park Pass Reservations are limited or completely unavailable. ©Disney Stay tuned to DFB for more travel news and updates.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Several of our followers agreed that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a bit overrated. One reader put it simply, “I guess it just wasn’t what I was expecting.” Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Others noted that it felt a little lackluster compared to other recent attractions like Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway! Click here to take a virtual ride on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Space Mountain Though new rides weren’t the only ones catching some flack. One particularly iconic attraction from Magic Kingdom had a number of votes for not being worth the hype — Space Mountain! Space Mountain “I feel like I’m going to get decapitated every time I ride it so I scrunch down in my seat,” one reader said, “And once we rode it with the lights — do not recommend!” Want to see more rides you might want to AVOID? Click here! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Another new ride that our readers feel a little underwhelmed by is Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. There’s one very big reason why this ride catches some flack and that’s because folks don’t necessarily think it was worth the demise of its predecessor. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway In the words of one reader, “Bring back the Great Movie Ride!!!!” To see more of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, click here! Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Nearby in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, some folks don’t get the hype of Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. “As much as I love Disney, I was actually surprised at how disappointing the ride itself was,” a reader noted, “Pretty much our entire family agreed that the things you see while in line were more interesting than the ride itself. I would not wait more than 30 minutes or so for that one again. Star Tours is older but far better in my opinion.” Millennium Falcon Others agreed saying things like, “Herky, jerky, and the video is not clear. I had a crick in my neck the rest of my trip,” and “It’s only really fun if you’re a pilot.” Click here to take a virtual ride on the Millennium Falcon! Frozen Ever After Like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, some of our readers think Frozen Ever After wasn’t worth the trade out from Maelstrom before it. Frozen Ever After Put simply, one reader said, “Maelstrom was better imo.” Want to see some infamous Disney World ride malfunctions? Click here! Peter Pan’s Flight Some rides are cute, but just NOT worth the wait and Peter Pan’s Flight was brought up as one of them by our readers. “That is a LONG wait for nothing spectacular,” one said. Another asked, “I like the ride and think it’s cute, but why the insane wait all of the time?!” Peter Pan’s Flight Soarin’ Around the World Over in EPCOT, the current version of Soarin’, Soarin’ Around the World, might be overhyped according to our followers. Soarin’ Around the World has a TON of smells! One of our readers said, “It is crammed with CGI. And unless you are sitting in the center, you get distorted views of everything. I like the old version much better.” To learn about some iconic Disney smells, click here! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train We’ve got another one that people just think is not worth the wait — Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! One follower noted, “Big Thunder is better and usually has a much shorter line.” Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Another agreed, “Mine Train is too short of a ride for the wait.” Click here to see more of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Fireworks Shows Some of our readers called out fireworks shows, and the new ones — Disney Enchantment and Harmonious — in particular. Disney World is always evolving! One reader just thinks the rides are more important saying, “We usually ride something with a long line instead.” Want to form your own Disney Enchantment opinion? Click here! Eats Some of our readers called out specific restaurants or eats as being overrated! Be Our Guest Restaurant Be Our Guest Restaurant was a POPULAR answer with many of our readers saying it’s not worth the hype. Be Our Guest Atmosphere Some noted, “Very expensive, nonspectacular foods. Beautiful room otherwise.” Others agreed by saying, “I do not understand the hype. While I am glad we got to experience it, we won’t go back. It was overpriced for underwhelming, bland food.” To see our recent Be Our Guest review, click here! Le Cellier Another potentially overhyped restaurant is over in EPCOT. Le Cellier got a few votes for being underwhelming. One reader said, “Everyone raves about how amazing they are. I can make a better steak at home. Definitely not worth the price.” Le Cellier Another noted, “We really looked forward to going, and it was -good- but not great. Nothing special about the dining experience and the food was no better than Texas Roadhouse.” Click here to learn more about Le Cellier! Cupcakes Bestill our hearts! A number of readers said Disney cupcakes are overrated! Just one of MANY 50th Anniversary Treats in Disney World! One reader put it, “The cupcakes look pretty but rarely taste good. Only had a few really tasty ones out of all the ones I’ve tried.” Want to see what cupcakes you can get in Disney World right now? Click here! EPCOT Festival Booths We love an EPCOT festival, but it seems some of our followers don’t think they are worth the hype. One reader said, “It’s pretty hit or miss. At the Festival of the Holidays, the item we looked forward to the most was inedible. It had sat too long under heat lamps or something. We were better off eating from the restaurants.” Festival of the Arts Another mentioned festivals too saying, “I was really excited to go and it was just a crowded mess. We didn’t feel like we could enjoy EPCOT or the food. What a disappointment.” To see EPCOT festival news, click here! Staying on Property Several readers mentioned that staying on property is way overhyped compared to a few years ago. One reader noted, “They have taken away so many of the perks,” and another said, “Currently at a Universal Hotel for less and not missing the Disney Hotels at all.” Grand Floridian Room Popcorn Buckets This next one is pretty topical with the recent Figment Popcorn Bucket fiasco (a 6.5 hour wait!?). Several readers mentioned that Popcorn Buckets are way overhyped. TWO major Festival highlights: the Figment Popcorn Bucket and NEW Festival rainbow lighting on Spaceship Earth! One noted, “I wouldn’t even wait that long if it was my favorite character. I’d rather have the spork and I don’t even like sporks lol.” Click here to see more of the Figment Popcorn Bucket!

You’ve already stuffed yourself with fried chicken from Homecomin’ and sweets from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, and you’ve grabbed some cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse. But soon there will be a NEW spot to add to your Disney restaurant list. Disney Springs We’ve already seen a number of new spots open in Disney World, including Steakhouse 71 over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. But recently Disney announced a brand new restaurant that will be joining the crew over at Disney Springs! Recently Disney announced via Twitter that a brand NEW restaurant called Local Green Atlanta will be opening their doors in Disney Springs in March! ©Local Green Atlanta | Obtained via Disney According to Disney, the restaurant will bring “culture, hip-hop, and fresh healthy greens” all in one bite! Local Green Atlanta’s own Twitter notes that they are a spot that specializes in vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options. ©Local Green Atlanta | Obtained via Disney The Local Green Atlanta website shows a menu consisting of options like Cajun “Air” Fries, “Dumbo” Mexican Street Corn, and a “Salmon Philly Quesadilla.” ©Local Green Atlanta This restaurant reminds us a bit (in terms of some general concepts) of Beatrix, the restaurant that had been previously announced for Disney Springs which was set to feature healthy food options like vegetarian and vegan dishes. Though construction on that restaurant had started, it was later paused. Early last year, a representative for the company that owns Beatrix had indicated that the project had not been canceled but that Disney and the company had agreed to return the property to a “green space” until construction resumes. We really haven’t heard any updates on Beatrix for quite some time now. Construction Walls Around the Beatrix Area Back in May of 2021 Disney has not yet announced where the new Local Green Atlanta restaurant will be opening in Disney Springs, what the exact menu will be, or the exact opening date, but we’ll be on the lookout for more details!

We’ve got a SECRET to save you money on one of Disney’s most popular souvenirs! So. Many. Ears. Lots of Disney fans collect Minnie ears, and even if you don’t have a big collection, you probably have at least considered buying a pair in the parks. Just one set of ears will usually set you back around $30 (and up to $1,000 if you can believe it). But what if we told you there was a way to save a THIRD of that cost? We’re not joking — we found several Minnie ear headbands that were marked down about 30%! Where can you find these discounted ears? They won’t be in any Disney World gift shop. Instead, you’ll have to head to shopDisney (the online merchandise location). You won’t find the discounted ears here! The old “check shopDisney first” is a tip as old as time. Many Disney World souvenirs are available for cheaper if you purchase them through shopDisney instead of in the parks. But finding four sets of Minnie ears for $20 instead of their usual $30 is still big news. Lots of Minnie Ears Right now, you can get the Cranberry Red Minnie Ears for $19.98 (instead of $29.99) if you buy them online. Cranberry ears! These ears came to Disney World for the holidays last year and have stuck around for a while now. A Closer Look They’re still full price in the parks, but not on shopDisney! Click here to buy the Cranberry Red Minnie Ears. And if where you live is still covered in snow right now, you might need the Winter Frost Minnie Ears, which are also marked down to $19.98 from $29.99 online. Winter Frost Ears We first spotted these ears in the parks back in October 2021, and they sort of give us Cinderella Castle (pre-pink-makeover) vibes. Sequin bow Plus the neutral color scheme means these beauties will match just about any outfit you pair them with. Click here to buy the Winter Frost Minnie Ears. A controversial set of Minnie ears have been marked down to $19.98 from $29.99 as well — the Olive Minnie Ears. Olive Ears These ears might remind us a little bit of our grandmother’s couch material, but there’s something to be said about a trendy color scheme on a classic souvenir. But why do they look like that? And a bright, shiny bow in the middle can go a long way when it comes to making the slightly dull color more exciting. Click here to buy the Olive Minnie Ears. We all know that the best time to shop for holiday decorations is right after that holiday ends. So now is a great time to scoop up the Lunar New Year Minnie Ears, which are $19.98 online instead of $29.99. Lunar New Year Minnie Ears Although these ears were made for the 2022 Lunar New Year, there’s nothing stopping you from putting them away so that you’re ready to celebrate when the holiday rolls around next year!

A Disney World trip is EXPENSIVE. Between the tickets, hotel, and food, you can easily spend thousands. But we can’t forget about one additional cost — your flight to get there (if you’re flying that is). Airplane Each month we take a look at the average cost to fly to Disney World. We’ve already taken a look at those flight costs for March, but now it’s time to look a little further and see just what to expect when it comes to April flight costs! Grab those budget sheets. It’s time to get planning! Our Method Just as we’ve done in previous months, we’ll be using a specific method when it comes to our calculations. Just what have we done? Well, we’ll explain it! First of all, we only looked at the average cost for flights from a select number of airports within the U.S. to Orlando International Airport (MCO) in April of 2022. If we looked at flight costs for all of the airports in the U.S. or international ones we’d be here ALL day, so we limited our search to just a few. A Look at Some Airplane Seats In terms of the dates, we looked at a trip where the departure was on Thursday, April 21st, and the returning flight was on Monday, April 25th. This range of dates had some more expensive dates in it, coupled with some dates priced at cheaper numbers. This was based on flight costs from JFK to MCO. While the Thursday date was on the expensive side, the Monday date had a lower cost. So (ideally) that helps to balance things out. Keep in mind that prices can vary a LOT depending on what dates you choose to fly. This year, Easter falls on April 17th, so that will likely impact flight costs, as well as any other special events or just generally busy periods. You may find that it would be cheaper for you to fly in and out of Orlando on different days, so just keep that in mind. ©Google Flights In terms of where we got our prices from, for this post (just as we’ve done before) we got all of our prices from Google Flights, with the except of Southwest Airlines (we got those prices directly from the Southwest Website). These prices are just a snapshot of what costs might look like. Flight prices can change daily (even sometimes within a matter of hours), so things could look very different when you go to book your flight. Our costs also just reflect pure ticket prices. That doesn’t take into account the benefits and drawbacks that can come with flying on a certain airline. Some less expensive tickets might come with less benefits, while other more expensive tickets might be worth the additional cost for the bonuses they come with. What ticket type or airline is best for you will depend on your needs! Luggage Also, keep in mind that our costs below are really just base ticket prices for the most part. There are often additional fees or taxes that need to be paid, so just note that you’ll need to add on some money in your budget for that. A few other things to note: We tried to find the least expensive combination of flights (cheapest departing and cheapest returning flight). We then did the same for the most expensive flight combinations. The times of these flights and the number of layovers they may have might not work for you. They might leave really early or late or otherwise just not fit your schedule. When it comes to Southwest Airlines, we stuck to the “Wanna Get Away” tickets. For the airlines where we used Google Flights to get the estimated costs, keep in mind that the actual cost of your flight might be different once you go to book it on the flight’s website. We limited our flight choices to ones that arrive on the same day as their departure. All ticket prices are for 1 person. Okay, enough with the disclaimers, let’s get into those costs! let’s get into the flight costs! New York (JFK or LaGuardia) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $359.78 from LGA (taxes and fees add an additional $74.18) Most expensive combination of flights: $553.27 round trip from LGA (taxes and fees add about $93.20 more to this cost) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $367 round trip from JFK Most expensive combination of flights: $1,287 round trip from JFK United: Cheapest combination of flights: $506 round trip from LGA (There were a lot of other cheaper flights, but they departed from Newark Liberty International Airport or arrived on a subsequent day) Most expensive combination of flights: $1,308 round trip from LGA (There were also some more expensive flights from Newark Liberty International Airport) American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $287 round trip from LGA Most expensive combination of flights: $659 round trip from JFK (Note that one flight was from JetBlue) Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $333 round trip from LGA (Note that there were cheaper flights from Newark Liberty International Airport) Most expensive combination of flights: $509 round trip from LGA Orlando International Airport Los Angeles (LAX) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $485.36 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $83.60) Most expensive combination of flights: $725.36 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $106.10) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $377 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,406 round trip (Note that there were more expensive trips that arrived the next day) United: Cheapest combination of flights: $428 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,379 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $337 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,287 round trip (Note that there were several more expensive flights but they arrived the next day) Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $245 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $523 round trip Orlando Airport Chicago O’Hare (ORD) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $263.03 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $57.93) Most expensive combination of flights: $521.64 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $86.32) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $424 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $2,147 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $353 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,245 round trip (Again, note that there were some flights here that were more expensive but they arrived on the next day) American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $258 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $971 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $174 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $419 round trip Orlando International Airport Dallas (Love Field – DAL, or Fort Worth – DFW) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $281.64 round trip from DAL (taxes and fees are an additional $59.32) Most expensive combination of flights: $610.94 round trip from DAL (taxes and fees are an additional $84.02) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $538 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $2,078 round trip from DAL United: Cheapest combination of flights: $403 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $1,244 round trip from DFW American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $371 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $2,725 round trip from DFW Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $243 round trip from DFW Most expensive combination of flights: $336 round trip from DFW It’s getting more expensive to fly Atlanta (ATL) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $119.78 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $47.18) Most expensive combination of flights: $345.82 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $55.14) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $218 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $518 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $461 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,372 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $299 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,119 round trip Spirit: Cheapest combination of flights: $100 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $217 round trip Airport Denver (DEN) Southwest: Cheapest combination of flights: $371.87 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $75.09) Most expensive combination of flights: $769.08 round trip (taxes and fees are an additional $95.88) Delta: Cheapest combination of flights: $484 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,581 round trip United: Cheapest combination of flights: $358 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,371 round trip American Airlines: Cheapest combination of flights: $408 round trip Most expensive combination of flights: $1,039 round trip Spirit: We had an interesting situation with Spirit Airlines for this trip. It would let us see departing flights on April 21st but noted that there were no return flights available on April 25th. In fact, several days around that were marked similarly. What we did instead was pair a Spirit Airlines flight on the 21st, which was priced at $156.78; with a Frontier airlines ticket priced at $151. That combination is $307.78. That’s what we’ll use as the low and high for Spirit Airlines for this trip. Travel Overall, the average price to fly to Disney World in April of 2022 (using our specific method outlined above) ranged from about $338.71 on the cheaper side, up to about $1,028.13 in terms of the more expensive options. This is more expensive than the flights we had looked at for select dates in March, but again things can vary greatly depending on when you choose to visit, what airline you use, etc. We did notice that Google Flights also sometimes flagged certain flights as being priced high for that trip, so again things can change. What Airline Do You Prefer to Fly With? Remember these are just averages and estimates based on the method we used. The actual cost of your flight to Orlando may be very different.
