How much does The Summit cost in 2027?

Last reviewed September 30, 2026 • Official Varsity information used for event details

The short answer

The Summit Championship is confirmed for April 29–May 2, 2027 at Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. Varsity has published a 2027 event information guide, but the latest detailed package-pricing sheet available for planning is still the official 2026 Summit pricing.

Important: The dollar amounts below are official 2026 Summit prices. Use them as a historical planning baseline—not as confirmed 2027 pricing. Your gym’s actual quote should replace these numbers when available.

What did the 2026 packages include?

The published 2026 hotel packages combined accommodations with competition admission and Disney ticket options. Three- and four-night packages also included the Celebration Party; championship-hotel transportation to event venues was included with hotel travel packages. Exact 2027 inclusions can change, so families should use the 2027 pricing sheet once Varsity publishes it.

Other costs Summit families should plan for

1. Travel to Orlando

Airfare is not included in the historical package prices. Compare airfare and baggage for the whole family against driving costs such as fuel, tolls, parking and possible overnight stops.

2. Airport transportation

The 2026 pricing sheet stated that airport transportation was not included. Budget separately for airport transfers, rideshare or a rental car unless your 2027 booking specifically includes transportation.

3. Park tickets for family and friends

For 2026, Varsity listed separate Park Hopper tickets for family or friends not purchasing a hotel package at $495 for 2 days, $575 for 3 days, $673 for 4 days and $749 for 5 days. These are historical 2026 rates and should not be treated as 2027 prices.

4. Celebration Party, meals and crossover fees

The 2026 sheet listed the Celebration Party at $60 per person for guests not receiving it through an eligible package, meal vouchers at $20, and a $100 crossover fee per athlete for each additional performance.

5. Food and extras

Budget for meals not covered by your specific arrangement, snacks, merchandise, baggage, rideshares, souvenirs, extra hotel nights and a modest contingency amount.

How to build a realistic Summit budget

Start with the exact amount your gym says your athlete owes. Add only the charges your family will personally pay. Keep confirmed or quoted costs separate from planning estimates, and update your budget when Varsity releases detailed 2027 pricing.
