What'price per day for your family? - The DIS Discussion Forums

duffy · 07-12-2009, 05:09 PM

...on everything?? Plane fare, hotel, food, tickets??

I ask because I quoted my sister a total of approximately $1650 for her and her 2 kids to fly down, stay 1 night at the Dolphin and 6 nights at Port Orleans Riverside, and all food and tickets. This is a rough figure, keep in mind!! If I divide that by the 3 of them, and divide that by the 6 days we'll actually be in the parks, it's under $100/day!

She was not impressed.

She had really wanted to keep it under $2000, and was hoping it would only be around $1500! This includes the dining plan, and the only thing she'd still want to buy are souvenirs. (personally, I'd rather buy my souvenirs anywhere BUT at the World because they're so expensive there, but, I'll let her discover that.

)

Anyone willing to share their costs?

catbertdave99 · 07-12-2009, 05:32 PM

You're better than me.... ours looks to be around $145/person/day. Still worth it to us!!

TraceyDisney2008 · 07-12-2009, 05:39 PM

10 nights
flying out of toronto
2 rooms at pop4 adults
dining plan
10 day hopper plus water parks
$160.00 a day

chabs · 07-12-2009, 06:05 PM

Airfare from NY $1000
11 nights at the ASsp w/free dining, water parks $2246

4 people (2 adults/2 "adult" kids)

$74 night pp

Not bad!

duffy · 07-12-2009, 06:24 PM

$74/night is great, chabs!

I guess I should break down her costs a bit more:

Her share of our package will be about $1100. That's the 6 nights at Port Orleans Riverside, tickets and dining. I have enough points using my starwood AMEX card to get a night at the Dolphin for $60. Since we're arriving late at night, we're just going straight there, no parks that first day.

Her plane fare for 3 people is $516. So that's $1616. We'll probably just rent a car to get us to the Dolphin from Sanford airport, and likewise rent one to get us back. I figure it will be about $40 for her share of the rentals.

That's $1656. Divided by 3 people is $532. Divided by 7 nights is $79 each night!

lisa3383 · 07-12-2009, 07:19 PM

$2258 6 days/5 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge, 6 days MYW Fun, discounted deluxe dining

$400 flight (via that awesome SW sale a few days ago)

those numbers are each for 2 people sharing 1 room

Total of $2658/6 = $443/day

but "only" $221.50 per person/per day

chocovrdmicears · 07-12-2009, 07:22 PM

Depends on *when* as well...
We are a family of 4 doing 10 days at POP in December with regular dining BUT with a FREE dining pin code

, 10 day park hoppers,

for a total of $1986.
Haven't booked airfare yet..hoping for under $200 per person. And we always get a rent a car (hoping for about $200). Since we will be there for the holiday season (and I LOVE to shop at WDW) I am budgeting some serious spending money..(no need to reveal my $ amount there

) Also another important thing to budget for..OOP for the food on the dining plan (extra snacks or breakfasts, adult drinks

and tips).

sooo..tickets, dining, room, and airfare (if i get my wish) (minus the rent a car & OOP spending):
approx:
$278 per day / or $70 per per person per day.

AJA · 07-12-2009, 07:30 PM

We are a family of 3 staying 10 nights at POFQ with free dining. If you add in fuel costs (we're driving), 10 day tickets with park hoppers, a few extras and DD's souvenirs we're at about $100 a day for each of us. $3000 total for a 10 day vacation for an entire family is not bad IMO!

Anonomom · 07-12-2009, 09:00 PM

Ours is $83.53/day/person for 4 nights/4 day base tickets/free dining for 2 adults and 2 kids (one of the kids is under 3, so she's free). Now, granted, this doesn't include gas or the hotel we'll overnight halfway there, and I divided by 4 even though we're only paying for 3 people, but it's still pretty good.

junebugs · 07-12-2009, 09:17 PM

2 Adults/1 Junior/1 Child for 5 nights/6 days at Pop/preferred room w/ Free Dining Pin and Park Hoppers for: $1686.94

RT Airfare from BWI to MCO for 4: 684.80

Grand Total: $2371.71 or

$98.82 a Day!!

(We have $215 in Disney Reward points to spend and my kids each got a Disney gift card w/$75 for spending money from their Aunt - so we don't anticipate spending too much above this amount)

queenie1 · 07-12-2009, 09:37 PM

Here's my deal:
7 nights at Pop Century with free dining, one adult, two teens, one 8 year old(basically 3 adults and one child). 6 day base tickets, no insurance is $1574.46. Flights out of PIT are $137.50 each total (on Southwest we get to check 2 bags free and no layover!) That's $1986.96 divided by 4 people equals $70.96 per day.

I'd say your deal looks great especially since yours is a moderate and one night at a deluxe. The initial sticker shock gets people but it is a great deal. The longer you stay the less your cost will be per day so maybe she should add a few days

Seriously, she may not have the money right now or may be feeling a bit worried about the economy so even if it was $50 a day it would still be too much.

YolantasKids · 07-13-2009, 01:32 AM

I just did the math on our last trip.

$1700 for flight for 6 from San Francisco to MCO.
$1325 for park tickets
$1800+ for 7 nights at CSR (two rooms)
$1,000 for food and souvenirs

Total of approximately $165 per person per day.

Yup, my thoughts too. She's going through a divorce and is waiting for a big check to come. She's trying to find a new place to live, and I think she's starting to think of all the things she could do with the extra $1650.

Her heart knows that her kids have been through a lot in the last 2 years, and she wants to give them a great time that they'll never forget. Her brain is saying to use that money on something more practical.

For example, this quote does not include park hoppers. She thinks it's too much money for them. I'd love them, but I'm letting her decide. She can always add them once we get there. The one night at the Dolphin, I'm paying for with my starwood points, and she won't have to worry about that. I convinced her to get the meal plan because it really will be a great deal for her. She wanted us to sneak all 5 of us into a value room, but I put my foot down!!
