Late August/Early September 2 Adults, 2 Children.

6 nights Poly, 7 day base tickets - $2547.18
Food, Souvenirs, BBB, and Memory maker ~ $1,200
Driving - Gas ~ $250
1 night each hotel on the way down and back ~ $200 worth of hotel points

~$4,000 plus ~$200 in hotel points.

 

[partigus]

so with 7 day tickets being 350/330...you're paying less than $200 a night for there Poly???

How'd you work that?

This is a little bit of a splurge trip for us... last time we went, my friend was a cast member who got us in on his tickets, so we didn't have to pay for park hoppers.... and another time, we stayed in my parents camper at FW and they paid for the campsite, which saved us $$
ANYWAY:
2 adults, 1 child
late august/early september
7 nights
AOA cars suite
5 day park hopper w water park and more option
regular dining plan (though hoping to get it free!!!)
$4774
Airfare from newark... not booked yet, but hoping for around $800
plus extras i'm sure...
so probably close to $6K if we don't get in on free dining :-/
like i said, we got lucky with the budget that last 2 trips!

 

[animalkingdom15]

Lets see March 2-March 9:

7 nights at Grand Floridian outer bldg standard room club level $4188
Park tickets $0 (AP)
Air $260
Food $1000 for the week (might end up being less as I will probably eat breakfast each morning in the club room)
Souvenirs $500
Total = $5960

Now this is probably the most I have spent on a vacation, but this is probably a once in a lifetime trip for me so I figured, why not.

2 adults Feb/Mar 10 nights/11 days
Beach Club CL deluxe room and 10 day base tickets---$6150
2 additional one day tickets for Epcot---$180
Flights from Hartford ---$600
Food---$3000
Souvenirs---$1000
Illuminations Cruise---$350
Custom 19th birthday cake for DD---$120
Cab fare to other resorts---$100
Gratuities---around $300
Total---$11,800 give or take

I know the food sounds like a ridiculous amount but I am basing it on past trips. We do a ton of signature dining. If my dh and son were coming, it would be way more than twice that-LOL.

I figured it was time to start a new thread....based on that other favorite 'vacation 2014' Let's start the new year!
( I like to add 'soup to nuts' to get the total overall cost)
I will start.... Right now plans are for January 2015 (end of month)
Myself and Ds2 and my Dsis share a room at AsMU for 4 nights (touring with other family) and then meet DH and DS1 and stay at Dolphin for 8 nights
I have 5 day hoppers, I need to upgrade 2 tix to 10 day when we arrive
Dining will be OOP- have a set amount budgeted in
waiting to see if WDW has room discounts for then, but so far my total is 2980.00- This breaks down overall to approx. 62.00 per person,per day.all in
this includes parking at airport when DH comes down,plus dogsitting for that week. I may add more and visit Universal also,which will add quite a bit
Anyone else ready to do this?

Our trip last year was around 7K and included:

• October travel
• family of 4 (2 kids)
• 6 nights at Art of Animation (suite)
• flight from Toronto
• car rental
• 5 park tickets
• dining plan
• MNSSHP
• Memory Maker
• BBB (for 1 child)

PS - This is why Disney is not a regular option for us (but hoping to return in a few years...and next time we'll save by excluding the last four bullets)
