10k for a WDW vacation

[emilyindisney]

Love this thread- I always love planning my fantasy vacation!

My trip would be for me and my sister from November 1st- November 11th, 2013.

We'd do a split stay with 5 nights at Beach Club (pool/lagoon view) and 5 nights at GF (theme park view.) We'd get park hopper tickets with the DDP and tickets to MNSSHP and MVMHP. We'd do Wild Africa Trek, KTTK, a Wishes Cruise, a Typhoon Lagoon surfing lesson for me, registration for the Wine and Dine Half and 5k, and post race massages at the Yacht Club. I threw in an extra 400 for food outside our plan and 300 for extra spending.

All that fun and I'm still 109 under budget.

If only, right?!

My turn, my turn!!!

My trip would be for my sister (aka the previous poster) and myself.

For $9,766, we would get:

Airfare to and from FL (often the most expensive parts of our normal trips)
8 nights staying club level at the Grand Floridian from Dec 1-9....we'd finally get to see Christmas decorations! (and I hear this is a fairly low crowd time of year)
A rental car-just compact since we'll only be driving it sometimes
9 day park hopper WP fun passes
The DxDP...I've always wanted to do this but never thought it was cost efficient (in real life...haha)
Tickets to MVMCP

Then we've have almost $250 left over for souvenirs!

Now all we need is $20,000 and we can go two months back to back!

I really don't know what I would do!! So many options:

An extended stay at DLR in one if the Signature Suites at the DLH for my family of 5 at Christmas time.

More likely, a 7 night cruise in the off peak season in a Royal Suite

Would be fun to use to visit an international park as well.

I'd buy DVC with $10k.

Oh, I like that idea.

I'd buy DVC with $10k.

It's 10k for a vacation. Buying DVC with 10k would not give you a vacation without throwing $ in with it. Unless you can buy DVC with less than 10k and have enough left to pay for tickets and airfare? And spending $$? Is that possible?
