With shifting travel patterns and aggressive promotions on the table, this episode of Scripting the Magic breaks down what it really means to treat your trip like a production budget—not just a price tag.
In Episode 2, host Kristy Ouellette walks you through a full 2026 Disney Value Audit, helping you evaluate where your money actually creates peace of mind. From resort logistics and ticket strategy to dining plans, Lightning Lanes, and insurance, this episode reframes budgeting around one core metric: Joy-per-Dollar.
You’ll learn:
- How current Disney promotions can reshape your overall strategy
- Where to splurge vs. where to save without sacrificing experience
- Why transportation and resort logistics may matter more than room size
- How to identify your family’s one true non-negotiable experience
- Why a “cheap” vacation can sometimes be the most expensive mistake
Paired with the Production Budget Companion Worksheet, this episode helps you align your spending with what actually matters to your family—so you can stop chasing the lowest number and start investing in the right experience.
