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

[Keegansmommy]

We are hoping to either go March 30 - April 8 or June 11 - June 20. I am leaning more towards June because I'm really, really, REALLY hoping for YES tickets. We will have free airline more than likely with SW miles.

We'll have 10 day hoppers w/ Waterpark and more
No dining plan

Right now it's looking around $5,000 BUT I'm hoping to get that down to about $4,000.

Also sticker shock for us with our little guy turning 3 also.

Looking into Swan or Dolphin w/ teacher discount.

I was feeling quite a bit of buyers remorse for the trip I had booked and listed previously on this thread, so I made some changes.

Now our trip is as follows:

Travel Dates: 4/18/13 - 4/28/13 (10 nights/11 days)
Travel Party: 2 Adults, 2 Children (8 and 6 at time of travel)
Resort: Beach Club, Garden View Room = $2925.48 (with 40% military discount)
Airfare: RT from Boston via Jet Blue = $1181.40 (this includes travel insurance)
Food and souvenirs: $1750 (we'll be using TiW card)
Tickets: $0 (we have annual passes from this year that I've already included the entire purchase of on our last trip.
Grand Total: $5856.88

A lot better than the $7600 I was approaching, and still a real nice vacation, IMHO.

My family has two separate reservations. We're doing 6 days/5 nights at Pop Century with a 5 day hopper pass and Quick Service dining. Our travel dates are 2/23-2/28.

For my parents and I:
$1877.97 for the package + $870 for the flight (Boston to MCO), or $915.99 each.

For my sister and BIL (plus their 1-year old):
$1462.44 for the package + $580 for the flight, or $1021.22 each (not counting the baby!).

I'm a lot more thrifty than the rest of my family, so I'm only budgeting about $150 for shopping and meals not included in the dining plan.

We were originally books at AoA in the Little Mermaid rooms, but switched to Pop to get the Stay, Play, Dine discount, which worked out to be almost the same as free dining for us. I'm a little sad about missing out on AoA, but it's worth it to save $$$!

A lot

But then we are making it a rather special trip :

Starting the 26th of april 2013 :Take the boat from the UK : Queen Mary 2

Arrive a week later in new york, take the train from there to florida. (hubby is major trainlover )
Get off in Jacksonville, rent a car and take it easy travelling to WDW arriving three days later.
Get a standard room at the Wilderness Lodge for 13 nights, 10-day park hopper tickets. Hopefully with a room-discount. Free dining doen't work for us since we share every meal except buffets of course. The amounts of food served are just too much for us!

Fly home.

Cost will be about 10-12K ($)....

But hey: we can afford it. We have no kids, both have a good job and we spend little on other things. We just like to travel

[ThreeTinks]

I don't wanna know All I have booked right now is our package - me, mom, three kids at POR for 7 nights with 8 day base tickets - no discount out yet - no dining added - just under $3100. Then me and the kids are doing 2 nights room only at Pop at the start and finish of our trip - hoping for a room only discount for those to come out too, I haven't booked those yet.

I did figure up dining and we save around $600 not paying for dining, so this will be our first OOP food trip (6th trip) unless free dining comes out and it's better than a room only discount.

 

[myzel]

" 5 nights at POFQ garden view, reg. DP, 6day base tickets - $2402.74
" Food and beverage two days four people - $240
= $3,068.02


And then there is the airfare - $3,299
(Copenhagen - Orlando / 2 stops/four people)
- but we'll have 10 days in Orlando area before WDW
