I have a Disney addiction, and we just got back from a trip in October. I was thinking today..'Gee, wouldn't it be nice to go to DL for Christmas'.
The problem is hubby already said no more vacations this year (we have gone 4 times). I say if I can do it cheap enough I should be able to go.
We are AP holders, but this time around the Disney properties won't be an option.
So I need help with a budget! We drive from Canada (26 hours) so gas and hotels along the way (both ways) is usually $500.
Hotels at Disney is usually cost us quite a bit , but I was wondering if anyone has stayed at the Super 8 or Travel Lodge? We normally stay at the Tropicana or we have stayed at DLH and GCH. The Tropicana could be an option but the other two are not.
I also need to save on food. So there will be no eating in the park but mostly outside of it. Any tips?
I was *hoping* to try and keep the budget at $2500 or under is this realistic?
Does anyone have any money saving tips? I really need to get DH on board soon or it will be a no-go
Also if you spend Christmas there, do you bring your presents or leave them at home? Are there places to eat (outside of DL) opened on Christmas Day?
TIA
