So, what is the best age to go to Disney World with kids? While Disney Parks cater to guests of all ages, many parents find that children between the ages of four and 10 are the perfect age to fully enjoy the magic of Disney. At this age, children are old enough to experience the thrill of the rides and attractions, yet still young enough to be enchanted by the magic of Disney.
Of course, no family holiday would be complete without considering the cost. While the price of a Disney World holiday can vary depending on factors such as the time of year and the type of accommodations chosen, a good rule of thumb is to budget around R4,000 – R6,000 per person per day for park tickets, meals, and souvenirs. For a family of four, this could amount to anywhere from R15,000 to R20,000 per day.
