Our daughter starts college next year so we had a goal to keep our vacation to $2500 for our family of four (2 adults, one teen and one 4 year old). We stayed at POP for 6 nights, October 2-8, 2011 with 6 day park tickets (non-hoppers, no water parks, no MNSSHP). We went over our goal by just a tiny bit if you include the gas for our roundtrip drive and the things I purchased before we left for our vacation but we did everything we wanted to do and didn't feel at all deprived. In fact, we had a fabulous time on our budget vacation!
