Who wants to share how much they are paying?

[TraceyDisney2008]

I see all the people in the US posting the great deals they get and am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if my prices seem right. I know flying out of Toronto raises the price a great deal but even flying out of Buffalo I still think I am paying more than others.

August 22-September 1

If they offer free dining through west jet like last year my 10 day package from TO for 2 adults with 9 day hoppers at ASMu is $2900 Canadians Funds.

If I book through Disney and use their flights out of Buffalo 10 days as ASMu 9 day hoppers with free dining at ASMu $2300 US Funds so with exchange 27-2800.

[Cdn Gal]

Flights out of Syracuse- booked way in advance- $248.00 pp Bonnet Creek- $450 cdn Tickets 7 day hopper $258 pp Cdn (purchased at store in Ottawa- saved on exchange) added on no expiry $114.pp 4 days left on card for a future trip :goodvibes $148.00 Car Rental Dollar Express $24.00 for the week in gas Hope this helps! This was all done during high time too during the March Break! :wizard:

Were the deals you saw the 4/3 offer? If so, it's a great offer, but probably will not be offered during free dining.

Without flights, your dates for Disney at ASMu would be $1540 in a standard room, inclusing 10-day hopper.

Now, if you price a different date that offers the 4/3 deal, the price without flights would have been $1126. However, as of today, that offer is no longer available, had to be booked by Mar 29th and I'm not sure if they will extend the booking date or not.

You should have a look at upgrading that ticket to a 10 day ticket, hopper, No expiry. That gives you three more days at a cost of about $99USD per ticket, as compared to $262USD for 3 days, really good savings.

[michelle1]

We are paying $1900 (us funds) from Aug 22- Aug 30th for 2 adults and 2 kids (considered adults also). We have 5 nights at CSR and free dining and 3 nights at GF room only and a 1 day base ticket for each of us. If we don't get a good deal out of Buffalo we will fly AC on points.

[hockeymom3]

We are paying:

$2750 Cdn for 5 airfares DIRECT from Halifax to Orlando. (Canjet)

$910 Cdn for 4 - 7 Day Disney Base Tickets (Disney Store) - will probably upgrade to 10 day when we're there)

$2215 US for 11 nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge from May 2-13th

I was originally booked with 4/3 but cancelled and re-booked when the rooms only deal came out. Much cheaper to get tickets through Disney Store and pay Cdn $$, and the room rates were slightly cheaper to get it for $179/night than it was to pay for 8 and get 3 free. And of course you HAD to buy your tickets through them for the 4/3 deal.

So we upgraded from CBR to AKL when the room only rates came out.

[DisneyRookie2007]

Wesjet vacation package: Family of 4 (kids are 13 and 14)

Flights from Moncton, 7 nights @ POP, 7 day base MYW ticket, including all taxes: $3582 canadian

[rodeo65]

We're driving so can't comment on flights, but we have 8 nights for a family of four at CBR with DDP, park hopper, all taxes and fees in, through CAA for approximately $3000 CDN. We booked on 4/3 originally for 7 nights $2740 then added a day on so I'm not sure exactly where it ended up since we had already paid a deposit but 3K sounds about right. I was happy that they were quoting in Cdn funds though since the xchange has changed so much.

[roscoepc1]

Flying NWA out of Detroit, 5 of us for $1500, direct, non-stop. We paid of rthe tickets in June, when the dollar was at $1.02, so that was a HUGE savings!

4 of us, 8 days at CBR, Pirate room, dining plan, park hopper tickets for 7 days. $3020.

[mermaid&cinderella]

I have 10 days booked at CBR during free dining. I am paying $2840 US for CBR with preferred room, tickets with hopper.
I did find a flight for the 3 of us with Westjet for $1000 CDN out of Pearson but have not booked that yet.

[TraceyDisney2008]

2 Adults @ ASMu, 10 day hopper plus, free dining, flights from Pearson $2800.
I think I paid a few dollars more than I should have but with the exchange rate I didn't want to risk it. When I called WDW today the cost was 1800.US and then the cheapest flight I could find was through west jet for $412.00 So I just booked a package through west-jet.

[two*little*birds]

7 nights at the Poly (garden view room) + dining + tickets (6 day base) = $3563.12 USD. We used our 40% PIN to get this rate.

Hoping to get a good deal for flights out of Buffalo, or we'll use points out of YYZ.

[5boyz]

I am going July 25- Aug 8 (14 nights). POP, QSDP, 10 day base/1 day base with 2 4/3 deals. For 4 ppl 2adult 1 disney adult 1 child...$3675.US, we are flying out of Buffalo, so far have only booked my flight there for $69.ea totaling $318US. Hoping to get return for about the same or less:confused3.

[grace&philipsmom]

We are lucky to be flying on aeroplan points (still cost about $600 cdn for fees and taxes). Traveling August 26-Sept. 2.
7 nights at poly (gv), 8 day park hopper passes, getting free dining but upgraded to deluxe, and 8 day car rental. All booked through the disney online site for $4651.02 USD.

[laura001]

Our flights out of Buffalo are a total of $366.00 return for the two of us.
We booked on the bounceback offer

[caperdoc]

We are six adults ( 4 kids in late teens) staying in a 2bedroom at SSR on the 4/3 deal for US $4200.00 Our flights from Halifax to Tampa and Orlando back to Hfx direct were $500.00 each so $3000.00CDN.
Add in $408.00 for van rental and $1500.00 for food and restaurants and miscellaneous and our total is

$9100.00:scared1::scared1:
The only good thing about this is that while the dollar was over par I managed to sock away about $9000.00 so this trip is " an on par "trip!:woohoo:

[kid@heart2]

Hi!

We are in Dartmouth..this is our second trip. We loved our stay last year and are soooooo excited to go back in 1 month and 1 day!!

[dancin Disney style]

Our last trip was the cheapest per day trip we have done yet. I can't remember the exact cost of everything but here it is, roughly.


Family of 4...2 adults, 1 18yo, 1 9yo

Drive roundtrip from GTA to Orlando: $625
food: $915
14 nights at POP, preferred room: $1632 (CAA discounted rate)
5 day premium park tickets: $720 (discounted through a convention we attended)
spending money: $300
Total: $4192 US (exchange rate at the time was 1.06)


Back in 2005 we spent $4000 on an 8 night trip. I've learned a lot since then. It has become a challenge to me to make each trip less expensive than the last.

[ottawa-newbie]

Just DH and I :lovestruc
Oct 22-28 - Pop Standard room
Oct 28-Nov 1 - AKL Savannah View

We booked a bounce back last August that I just revised today with the newly released free dining.

2 Adults 2 kids (16,14) August 18th - Sept 1st - 14 nights at Pop Century, 10 day tickets with water parks and more, Regular dining plan for all 14 days. $2,732 US. Deposit made last August for $200 at par so $2,500 left to pay.

Would have been about $2150 just for the food from Disney.

Air will very likely be Southwest on a Tuesday for about $800 return to Manchester.
Another $500 to cover trip from PEI to Manchester and back.

Can't wait!

Hi everyone! We just booked an unexpected trip for 4 of us in May (oldest DD19 will already be there with her best friend). We already have park passes, so here's how much it's costing in US $ (we are flying SW from Buffalo):

airfare: $140 each x 2 (my 2 DD14s are paying their own) = $280
resort: POP x 3 nts tax included = 230
food: = 400
misc (gas,insurance,airport parking) best guess = 150

GRAND TOTAL = 1,060

We love being there in the spring so much that when we saw SW airfares for $59 each way during the week in May that our oldest DD will already be there we just couldn't stop ourselves! Couple that with the great room only discount available ($68 std value) and that adds up to the most spontaneous trip that we have ever taken! Flower and Garden Festival here we come! :banana::yay::woohoo::love:
