Suppose you’re going to disney for a week as a family of 4.
6 days of tickets for 4 people is $2,400. Cheap jetblue tickets on sale might be $1000; honestly, they’re probably more. If you’re staying at a $350/night hotel room, you’re already up to $5,500.
Then, figure at least $50 in food per person per day, or $100 for the adults if you get alcohol. That’s another $1,200-1,800. And if you go to any of their fancier restaurants it’ll be a lot more. Add in a couple hundred in souvenirs and you’re there.
Of course, if you’re within road trip distance and just go to the park for two days, you could do it way cheaper.
You’d have to be budget conscious, but it’s doable if you’re not eating anywhere sit-down, don’t drink soda, and don’t get snacks. But yeah, the average person is probably spending $100+.
For example, at Hollywood studios, the oats at the star wars location are $7. A chicken club and fries for lunch at ABC commissary are $18. A pizza for dinner is $12. That’s $37; not sure what it would come to with tax.
They allow carry in food, so pack sandwiches and snacks and you can skip lot of the food upcharges. That’s what I did for our recent big trip with family who grew up going to Disneyland regularly

You aren’t eating on Disney property for $50/person/day. It’s much closer to $100 even for kids.
