In a world full of division, there is one thing that most people can actually agree on — a Disney vacation is expensive. While prices can vary greatly, depending on where you are traveling from, what hotel you are staying in, and how long your vacation is, the average cost of a Disney vacation is more than $5,000 for a family of four.

If you are thinking of taking your family on a Disney vacation, it is important to realize that not all Disney Resorts are created equal. For many people, a Walt Disney World vacation is a much cheaper option than a Disneyland Resort vacation. Disney World offers a much bigger selection of hotels, and the hotels (in general) are cheaper.
Park tickets at Disney World are also typically cheaper than at Disneyland. Plus, Disneyland only has two theme parks, while Disney World has four traditional theme parks and two water parks.
Some people can’t imagine spending more than $5,000 on a Disney vacation. But one celebrity has recently admitted to spending around $200,000 on trips to Disney EVERY YEAR! Yes, they spend more on trips to Disney than most people make in one year.
That big-spending celebrity would be The Masked Singer host, Nick Cannon.
Cannon recently gave an interview to The Breakfast Club radio show. During the interview, he revealed his out-of-this-world Disney spending.
‘Every birthday and Christmas I’m literally at Disneyland at least once a month and to move around Disney, like, I’m probably spending $200,000 a year at Disneyland. Disneyland is expensive already off [the] top if [you’re] trying to stay in the hotel. It’s not how it used to be. You gotta make reservations.”

All Disneyland guests, including regular ticket holders and Magic Key Holders (aka Annual Passholders) are still required to make reservations for their starting theme park. Walt Disney World regular ticket holders will no longer need to make theme park reservations beginning January 9.
Cannon said that he doesn’t just pay for tickets to Disneyland, even though he lives in Southern California. He makes each trip a special experience, spending money on tickets, hotels, chaperones (most likely Disneyland’s private tour guides), and even more.
Of course, a large part of the cost is primarily the fact that the actor/singer has 12 children, and he takes each one of them to Disney when it is time for them to celebrate a special occasion. Cannon’s children range in age from 12 — his twins with ex-wife Mariah Carey — to just one year old.
Cannon’s children are Moroccan and Monroe (12), Golden Sagon (6), Powerful Queen (2), twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir (2), Legendary Love (16 months), Rise Messiah Cannon (15 months), Onyx Ice Cole (14 months), Onyx Ice Cole (14 months), Beautiful Zeppelin (12 months), and Halo Marie Cannon (11 months).
Cannon also had a son, Zen, who died when he was just five months old. Zen was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was just two months old.
Cannon and Mariah Carey were married from 2008 until 2016. Since then, he has not been married again, but has had all of his children with five different women. The mothers of Cannon’s other children are Bre Tiesi, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Lanisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott.
Cannon has admitted that it is tough being a father to so many children, because he wishes he could spend more time with each of them. He also admitted to mixing up cards on Mother’s Day.
