Everyone knows going to Disney World is expensive—but how expensive depends on how you plan. In this episode, we explore what different Disney trips look like at four very different budgets: $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $25,000.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Is it possible to take your family to Disney World for under $1,000?
- What do you gain (and what do you lose) with a $5,000 trip?
- What does a $25,000 “ultimate Disney vacation” actually look like?
- How much of your budget goes to tickets, Lightning Lanes, food, hotels, and merch
- Tips for setting realistic expectations for your own Disney trip
Whether you’re planning on a tight budget or dreaming big, this episode will help you see the magic in every kind of Disney vacation.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
