Disney packages win when the week is park tickets and characters. Beaches Turks (FamilyFactor 92) wins when you want one rate for food, kids club, and Grace Bay. Mid-range Disney for a family of 4 is $6,500–$8,500 for five days. Beaches starts at $850/night all-inclusive and a 7-night East Coast week is $9,000–$14,000. Tickets go through Get Away Today. The resort goes through Hotels.com.

The Disney ticket week
Our Disney cost guide prices a family of 4 (kids about 6 and 10) at $6,500–$8,500 for a realistic 5-day mid-range trip, $4,800–$5,800 extreme value off-peak, and $18,000+ deluxe peak with Lightning Lane. Food is the leak: $180–$250 a day in-park. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is another $80–$120 a day for four people on busy weeks.
Get Away Today is the ticket and package option on this site. If you still want a scored Disney-area stay after the tickets, use Disney World hotels for families or Orlando family hotels.
The Beaches Turks week
Beaches is the catalog's kid-infrastructure ceiling: FamilyFactor 92, kid amenities 98. Pirates Island is 45,000 square feet with nine slides. Sesame Street characters are on property daily. The baby concierge is included, not an add-on. Liquid Teen Club exists for older kids. Grace Bay is the swim beach, shallow and long.
The rate starts around $850/night all-inclusive for a family of 4 (under 2 free). A 7-night East Coast trip, flights included, is $9,000–$14,000 in the catalog review. Peak school breaks climb. You are paying for a week with almost no incremental daily spend beyond tips and spa.

Who should not book which
- Kids under 5: Beaches. A Disney package wastes ticket days on nap logistics.
- Kids 6–10 who want rides: Disney packages. Beaches cannot fake Magic Kingdom.
- Teens who want a water park, not IP: neither is the automatic win. Read Atlantis vs Beaches if Aquaventure is the trip.
- Prefer a domestic trip: Disney may suit you. A trip to Providenciales requires international travel planning.
- Budget under about $7,000 before flights: a short Disney value week can clear. A Beaches week usually does not.
