How much is your 2013 WDW vacation going to cost you?

[Juliet25]

Our 6 night stay at CB Resort is $958. We have non expiring 10 day park passes with 10 plus days, so I guess it comes to about $60 for MK, EPCOT, and a water park x 4 (2A, 9yo, 5 yo, and free 2 yo)=$240. I'm budgeting $500 for food, plus $500 for rental car and gas (we'll drive straight through).

So roughly $2200.

Too much!!! Which is why we haven't booked anything yet. I just can't book without a hefty discount and there hasn't been one on dates that I can go. Here's hoping.

-we never do the parkhoppers, we only do the 2 day base to get the free dining package(that we are hoping for again) the we upgrade our tickets to a 6 day when we check in.
-we never get trip insurance(all 30 trips) i understand why people get it.
grand total - $1,741

I'm still new to this board and trying to read as much as I can in the way of saving $. My question to you is- you said you get the 2 day base and then upgrade to 6days for your park tickets.-Is this a free upgrade?discounted? *curious*
