OT...how do you guys afford to go to WDW so many times a year. You must make millions or very creative...a would love to know your secret!
OT answer to an OT question
I go a lot to DLP (next to visiting DL and WDW) because I:
- stay offsite (we do the same at DL and are staying value at WDW)
- don't spend money on restaurant visits while being at home
- don't spend money on spas/ manicures/ pedicures/ ...
-...
One USD for you is the same as one USD for me. I don't make millions of USD, I just set my priorities in how to spend them.
It helps of course that I do have a rather well-paying job (including paid cellphone and company car with gas paid by company) and that I am single with no kids.
On my upcoming DLP vacation (2 more days!) we'll stay at a B&B that costs us 50 EUR instead of 189 EUR at the cheapest Disney resort.
During our upcoming big trip to Florida, we'll cruise Carnival instead of Celebrity because it's cheaper, we rent a small car instead of the SUV I would like to drive, we stay at a Disney value resort, we won't eat TS meals each day, ... I have to admit though that we are booked on two tours at WDW and that we don't intend to be cheap on excursions while cruising.
ETA: also, to save +/- 200 USD per person during our "big trip" we are leaving from MCO at 6 am, and will have to spend almost 9 hours at Washington Dulles! It will be a PITA, literally, but we are willing to go through that inconvenience to save more than 400 USD.
