Price Out Your DREAM WDW Vacation

[Stitches37]

So I thought it would be fun (and potentially frightening) if we priced out the total costs of our dream Disney World vacations. So I'll start off:

4 Disney Adults
December 1st-15th, 2015 (I'd like two full weeks during the holidays)
Grand Floridian, Main Building, Club Level = $15,918.76
4 Annual Passes= $2,786.04
Deluxe Dining Plan = $6,571.80
First Class Airfare from New York = $2,400
Souvenirs/Luxury Purchases = $4,000

Grand Total= $31,676.60

My plan would very much resemble yours. Only difference is 2 adults (no kids) and two fourteen day park hopper passes with water play and more. I'd also rent a premium car and head to Sea World and Universal Studios.

OH, love the idea of renting a luxury car and heading to some other parks too! I'm still dying to see Harry Potter!

I just want one night in the castle suite. I'd take that over anything.

Price: Not for sale

Right?! My hotel room alone is well over $1,000 per night!

^ I ask myself this often...

My dream trip:

2 adults, 1 Disney adult, 2 kids

14 nights in Polynesian Bungalows = $23,744
10 day PH = $2,203.61
DxDP = $5,053.75
Other activities = $500
Airfare = $1,500
$ to buy all things = $10,000


Grant Total = $43,001.36

However, I am too cheap so even if I won the lottery I would never spend that much. I would rather take 10 Disney trips to a value or moderate for the same price. BUT, if I ever won an "any Disney" trip THIS^ is what I would pick.

7 day ticket with Park Hopper and Water Parks & Fun

Round-trip flights from Detroit to MCO

[RustManFan]

almost twice as much on souvenirs/luxury purchases than on airfare? I'd have to build another room on my house if I spent $4,000 on unnecessary STUFF.

Wow, so stingy!!

Yeah, but it is more than double what I normally spend on a 5-6 day trip. My goal is to stay a full week at some point in time. What can I say? I'm frugal at heart.

Wow - love this thread - see my picture

DH, DW, DS & girlfriend, DD & boyfriend = 8 adults

So our dream vacation would be at the
Poly Bungalow for 10 nights - May 1 to May 11
Rental Cost = $23,368 (David's rental)
Food = maybe even make some meals for the gang like breakfast, but I would say $100 per person per day = $8800
Tickets = 10 day adult park hoppers = $3445
Souvenirs at $400/person = $3200
Airfare = JetBlue = refundable tickets = $7120
Extra Stuff (like tours) at $500/person = $4000

Grand total (we could never afford) = $49933

Whenever the powerball gets big we play "what would we do if we won". Of course I would actually have to buy a ticket to win!
