Budget for Two

[Flor del campo]

Im looking for budgets in couples or pair only trips. What is the less that you spend in this trip?

In September, 2002, we did WDW for 7 days. We had several breaks and great deal fall in our laps. I had a 5 day PH. My honey still qualified for a FL play 4 days pass and we bought a one day admission for the other day. We had $49/night at the ASMu. We spent less than $100/day on food, but we blew the rest on goodies. We spent about $200 on film and developing. We spent $60 in gas. I spent $60 for pet care. And there was about $40 in various tips. I think that covered most of it. Overall, I think we spent around $3000, but we have some great collectables from that trip.

This December, we have a budget of about $5000. We have bought pins for trading. We have acquired a portable DVD player for the car ride. We have a rack rate of $77/nite at Pop Century. We will be there for 7 nights. We have 5 day PHP's. We have 2 different nights to do MVMCP. We have prepaid the CP package. We will be seeing Wishes on a MK Specialty Cruise our last night. We have plans to do it all!

Could we have done the December vacation for cheaper, yeah, but we didn't mind spending rack rate for the room since it's our only chance to be an opening day guest of a WDW hotel. We didn't have to do MVMCP twice, but I wanted to be able to see it all without having to rush. We didn't have to do the fireworks cruise, but we did offer to share it with 8 others and have reduced the cost by splitting it among 10 people. I doubt that I will ever spend so much on a Value Resort stay at WDW again, but you only live once.

I am hoping that we can arrange to go back to WDW in early 2006. I expect to work every deal imaginable for that trip. I love WDW, but dang it's expensive. But, truth be told, it's so worth it. Maggie

We're going for 4 nights (Dec. 22-26). I found a package deal on expedia.com for our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn Seaworld International) and 2 roundtrip tickets from Washington DC to Orlando for $688. We're getting our 4-day Park Hoppers from the Disney Store, which will come to $408. We're budgeting around $200 for food, as we won't eat out for every single meal -- our hotel room has a refrigerator and microwave, so we'll be able to have breakfast in-room each morning, and have snacks there, too. We're not huge souvenier people, but as it will be Christmas while we're there, I'm guessing we'll spend around $200 on that stuff.

We're guessing we'll spend less than $1500 on this trip.. not too bad for Christmas season, and our honeymoon!

$2320.98 for 15 days Sept 21, 2003 through October 5, 2003($154.75 per day for two people). This includes all expenses (travel, lodging, meals, and all misc costs), but we did not need to buy themepark tickets.

We spent 13 days at the Courtyard in DTD and 2 days at a relatives house. We used 13 Q and C Vouchers, 5 Entertainment Book coupons, and ate 1 breakfast and 1 dinner at a relatives. Ate dinner once at Liberty Tree Tavern and once at Cape May Cafe.

Bought Waterpark/DQ annual passes, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Tickets and Sea World passes. Also bought a "My Pal Mickey."

We spent 7 days in the four main Disney Parks, one day at Sea World, 3 1/2 days at Waterparks, and 4 evenings at Disney Quest

Have fun!
