I've spent over $6,000 at Disney World this year. Here are 4 things that were worth my money, and 2 that weren't.

I've spent thousands going to Disney World this year but not everything has been worth the price I paid. Megan duBois

• I've been to Disney World dozens of times this year and spent over $6,000 to do so.
• Staying at a Fort Wilderness cabin was worth the cost, and so was my annual pass with add-ons.

In 2023, spent 47 days in Disney World and spent over $6,000 on things like hotels, food, and merchandise.

Of course, because I've visited the theme parks for almost 30 years, I know the best things to eat, see, and do — but sometimes the experiences don't live up to the hype.

During my trips this year, I found things that I loved and can't wait to do again, and experienced some I'll skip for the near future.

Here are four things that were worth the money and time I spent and two I'll likely be skipping next year.
