Let's do a quick hypothetical. A solo traveller from De Moines, Iowa going to Disney Orlando. We'll be leaving on 28th July and returning 30th, giving us one full day at the park. I picked those dates for being approximately the cheapest option on an Expedia search for flights.

  • Flights: $357 return
  • Hotel (at Disney): $288
  • Park entry (using the "1 Park per Day" option I got when trying to book the hotel): $823

That's $1468, before you add in even basic meals, let alone snacks and souvenirs a person is likely to want on a theme park holiday, or travel to and from the airport. And I chose there to look for dates that were cheaper. A real person might not have that option.

ITS 823$ TO GO TO DISNEY!!!?

E: tickets are like $120-$160...

The wild price you have is for something else / for going to multiple parks.

One park per Day sounds like a 3 day or week long pass. For that price probably a week, which...7 days for the price of 5 wouldn't be a horrible deal if you had that much interest in hitting all the parks

Right. For all intents and purposes....the Magical Kingdom is what folks call Walt Disney World... The newer parks are relative sideshows.

Magic Kingdom is the main attraction, but Epcot has better food while Hollywood Studios has the best rides and shows. Animal Kingdom is the only one I would ever recommend anyone skip if you're short on time. Each park has more than enough to keep you busy for more than a day, though. Unless you live nearby, you're going to leave disappointed if you only visit Magic Kingdom for a day.

I clicked on the "3" on the page I was on when it suggested "1 Park per Day", which I thought was meant to be 3 days. Not 100% sure though. 'twas late last night.

My honeymoon didn't even cost that much! Man, that is exactly why I don't go anywhere or do anything.
