2 Adults September 22-3 October

I've converted into Canadian dollars. The dollar has really taken a hit this year, but I've come up with a few savings.

Airfare $1500
AoA - $1140 6 nights
Cabana Bay $676 5 nights
Disney Tickets $440 6 days (7 day ticket free using our airmiles) may upgrade to
Park Hopper but not sure
Universal Power Pass $291 (just for DH, I went in Oct 2014 with a friend and my
Power Pass is still good)
Food/cocktails/gratuities $1500 (may be more if we do V&A for our Anniversary)
Souvenirs (may include food items to take home) $300
Room/Shuttle Tips $50
Shuttle/Towncar $128
Airport Parking $137
Baggage Fees $109
Boarding for our Labradors $720

Total $6991

Plus we are considering getting anniversary pics done while we are there since we haven't had professional pictures done since our wedding over 15 years ago $500

All this could change if free dining comes out though. We'd have to upgrade to moderate and only go to places on the dining plan and more than likely have to buy both sets of Park tickets to qualify.

I'm thinking about 12,000, including tours and stuff.

We're a family of 6, spending 14 nights at the YC, 10 day tickets, free dining, and we're flying.

I'm thinking about 12,000, including tours and stuff.

We're a family of 6, spending 14 nights at the YC, 10 day tickets, free dining, and we're flying.

2 weeks in Jan -Feb
room - DVC- approximately - $800 -prorated buy in plus dues AKLCL and BWV
gas for drive down - - $250 - includes lots of roving around to Clearwater and Tampa
airline ticket one way - credit card points rewards
rooms down and back- - $ 63 - one way was on points, return was points and cash
ticket -DVC special - - $319- includes a one day gate entry plus use of some old hoppers from 10-12 years ago so negligible cost - maybe $20 day
food - mostly gift cards - $300 - had several dinners (4-5) with family at offsite home - I collect gift cards when I see them discounted such as Wolfgang Puck's at Costco $80 for $100, 5% off at target with red card, etc

so about $1700 for 2 one of whom flew home after first weekend for work (on SW points)

oh - $56 for souvenirs in Germany - glass ornaments for the xmas tree
(used gift cards)
Actual cash out of pocket during trip was approximately $500. The rest is part of my regular florida vacation planning and budgeting.

Will go again in November where out of pocket cash will be again about $500. The rest will be accumulated gift cards and hotel points, etc. Tickets have been purchased pre increase and it will be food and wine festival so more onsite gift card spending. Plus I will have a few dollars (50ish) in Disney rewards from the Disney Visa.

Thinking of a May trip but not sure if I will go...

Have family geared to gift card giving for xmas, birthdays, etc....easier for them and I don't need most of the stuff they struggle to select for me...I am elated to get a $50 Disney gift card, but could care less about an expensive designer handbag....

Hey Princess,
Where are you getting flights from. I've been watching southwest lately flying out of philly and can't find any thing lower than $217.00 each.

TIA

Check Trenton or Wilmington via Frontier. We bought five RT tickets to MCO for about $500 for an April 2015 trip.

 

[Tink03477]

Going SOLO, just me.
May 14-20 (7days, 6 nights)
Beach Club, Garden View, passes with hopper = $2583.04
JetBlue airfare = $319 plus insurance $22.75
No meal plan so I'll just pay out of pocket and I have no idea how much I'll spend. I typically only eat 2 meals a day. My most expensive meal I have booked is at the Flying Fish Café. I don't drink alcohol very often, if at all; so we'll see. I'll keep all my receipts.
Total without meals: 2924.75
I think it's a lot for just me, but I want Beach Club and it's a deluxe; and I(we) go there a lot so going solo for my first time I want it to be somewhere that I feel very comfortable at.

 

[helenm29]

Have not quite got all of the cost down yet but here's what we've got:
Oct. 12/23
POFQ King bed over looking water (I hope)
Tickets for MK/AK/EC and Studios
Deluxe Dining Package
Magic Your Way
Air Fare from California
Rental Car
TOTAL COST SO FAR: $7281.00
We will be doing the Epcot Food and Wine Festival also so it will include Food for the Senses and several other venues that will be priced separately. Also V & A Chef's table.

Same for us flying from Toronto. It's about $560 per person so with four, it adds $2300 - $2400 to our hotel/park ticket and food cost. Wished we lived in driving distance.
