A new 'Fancy Girl's Guide to Disney' claims the only way to enjoy Disney World is to spring for the VIP treatment. But surveys show it is lower-income families that make the trek.

A study released last month by LendingTree found many families are willing to put at least some of their Disney vacation on a credit card, with 18% of respondents admitting they took on debt to take a trip to the House of Mouse. The research found that parents with children under the age of 18 were most likely to take on the additional debt, and 71% who overspent at the parks said they did not regret it.

In this handout photo provided by Walt Disney World Resort, guests walk down Main Street at Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort July 11, 2020, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.in response to the "Fancy Girl's Guide" or prices in general, the company said it is listening to guests and recently made a number of changes to make its parks more budget friendly.

Earlier this month, the company announced overnight parking would once again be free for guests staying at Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World, telling fans in a blog post, "This is a Disney difference many of you have asked us to bring back, and we’re happy to reintroduce it to make your vacation a little easier and more affordable."
