America isn't always cheaper. If you're going coast to coast in the US, you're paying $350+. A roundtrip flight to Europe from NYC, Chicago, or LAX is $500. When you get to Europe, the food is cheaper, there are decent cheap hotels and you don't need a car. A 1 week Disney Vacation is way more expensive than 2 weeks in any country in Europe.

My flight roundtrip this time was $480 from LAX to Amsterdam. I went to Madrid last year for $460 roundtrip.

I used to do a lot of National Parks in the US when I was in my 20's. You can do them really cheaply if you camp. A yearly pass that includes the entrance fee to every US national park is $80. Most national parks have campgrounds for less that $50 a night. In Utah, you can camp for free on pretty much any BLM land. The whole state is practically BLM land. You could go to Utah and do Zion, Bryce, Arches, Capitol Reef and Canyonlands and spend weeks camping for free right outside the parks. But you want to go to Gatlinburg....
