How much is your 2016 Disney vacation going to cost you?

[KayKayJS]

We live in Orlando so I don't have a WDW vacation cost, but we are doing Disney Alaskan Cruise next year.

3 nights hotel @ Hyatt before cruise - $600
Flights RT Vancouver - $100 (used points - would've ran $1200 or so)
Cruise - $3300 (used 10% OBB discount)
Dog Sledding - $1040
Spending Money - $300

Total $5340 out of pocket ($6440 without airline discount)

Looks like were at $267 per person per day.. more expensive than I originally thought!!

[Corbinator]

Airfare for 4 nonstop from Ohio: $1200

7 nights in Cars suite, 5 day ticket package, not hopper: $3700 (we got a room discount last week, it was previously $4200)

No dining plan, food on our own, we estimate about $1500.

Trip insurance and extras- $500

So almost 7,000.

If it matters, this is our one big trip with the kids. We don't usually do this. We do local, driveable, visiting family kind of trips so my DH said go for it.

We have 3 rooms booked at Beach Club - September 3-10th

7 nights, 7 day park hoppers for just myself in a standard view room- $1,886

I am going to purchase giftcards for our QS dining and the 2 TS we plan on going to. I will start buying the $150 packs from Sams for $142. Flights aren't booked yet but will do that hopefully as soon as Southwest comes out with their Sept flights!

The other 2 rooms have 2 adults in each, 1 with an infant- both packages for 7 nights and 7 day hoppers cost $2,269! They will also be buying the giftcards for all of our dining for the week.

I paid a lot more than $1,800 for my Nov 2015 POR trip, so we got a great deal for a deluxe and won't have to stress over the discounts that come out next year from Disney, as we got over 50% off for the BC rooms!

I am reading all of these from the beginning realizing you are there right now!!

I uh, just updated my previous post with my new totals. With MNSSHP tickets for 4, Club villian tickets for 2, and kids night out 2 times.. it added about 1k more.


Anyone else get sticker shock when they had to adjust their disney math?

 

[anita46]

Yeah me too...when you pay for most of the items over time you don't realize what the whole package can add up to...good news is we are only out of pocket for food and part of the hotel at the time of the vacation..all else has been paid off. FYI: We bank the vacation money but still charge all the costs...to build up our credit card points. This is the first year we will have two vacations for pretty much just the cost of food...gotta love those credits cards!

 

[danc18]

I'm too embarrassed to tell! I found that that it's just something I have to close my eyes to (the cost) and enjoy. We are GP and take son/DIL and their two kids to WL for 4 nights but need two rooms. Could only get club and at full price. I'm sure we will enjoy but to get in the ball park, it's costing the same as two of us going to Italy for two weeks! Ok it's over $10k. But excited

 

[Pepper pots]

It never bothers me when my Scottish friends stare at me with mouths wide open..Approx $8000 for 14 nights at WL next month, that includes flights from the UK..That's for two adults and a teenager..So when they tell me it's costing them $3.500 for two weeks in Spain, all inclusive, for 14 nights, I just laugh and say, enjoy Blackpool in the sun...Im off to the most magical place on earth...lol...

 

[DrunkJam]

we booked for 12/23 - 1/2 2017 (10 nights) for 2 adults 2 children, staying at the Poly, including DDP (we are planning to upgrade to DXDP, so that will add a bit) flights (from UK), transfers,ultimate park tickets, memory maker. Comes in at around $14,000

Is a terrifying amount of money to spend on a 10 day holiday.

This is my thought too! Next year we're going all out, my husband and i will be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. We're also celebrating for what we hope is us completing the Princess 1/2 marathon. So, we definitely are dropping a pretty penny this year compared to years prior but i just know it will be a blast and totally worth it!

 

[Boopuff]

I give extra hugs to my CM kid. No way could we go without the CM discount!

Two adults who get there on November 26th. 7 nights, 6 day Park Hopper. Free QSDP, not upgrading this year.

1987 Package (Tickets, hotel and dining)
200 Towards DS's trip, helping to get the whole family down there.
150 Gas, driving from Ohio
110 Hotel on the way down and food both ways
250 Extras while we're there
Total : 2697

We help defer costs by buying Disney gift cards at our local Giant Eagle (grocery store) and getting money off fuel. That saves us over 200. We get Disney Visa rewards points, have a yard sale and include the money we budget for fgroceries and put it towards the trip.

The amount we're spending this year to be at POP is about what we paid for POFQ just a few years ago.
