Real cost for a family of four over 12-14 days: $13,500 to $18,000 (about R$ 70,000 to R$ 95,000). It isn't cheap, and this guide won't pretend otherwise.
Tickets are the single biggest villain: $500-700 per person for Disney alone (4-5 days), plus $300-450 for Universal now that Epic Universe is open.
Best time to go: second half of January, May 4-15, or late September / early October. Avoid June through August and every U.S. holiday.
How many days for Disney and Orlando: 12-14 total — 4-5 days of Disney, 3 of Universal (it's three parks now), 2-3 to rest and hit the outlets.
Where you actually save: a vacation home with a kitchen, buying dollars in installments over several months, tickets straight from the source, and skipping Park Hopper unless you're the type who parks-hops in a single day.
