Do you spend more at WDW or Aulani?

[cruisehopeful]

Assuming flight costs are the same, do you overall spend more money at WDW or Aulani? Include other transportation that isn't airfare, all food and entertainment + souvenirs.

I voted Aulani. Everything on the island is just so expensive. Our trip this past summer all together cost me $38,000. Yeah that was for the whole family and roughly $11000 were flights. That still left $27,000 for the total and I have never spent that much at WDW. We did the same things too with the exception of the luau.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the trip. Aulani is drop dead gorgeous and my grandtinker loved the man made reef even though the water felt like winter.

We haven’t stayed at Aulani, but we’ve visited Hawaii multiple times, and it’s easily more expensive than WDW. We were on the Big Island about a month ago, and a dozen eggs (might have been 18, can’t remember) were $10 at the local grocery. Restaurant prices are even higher. Gas was $4.75 a gallon.
