Does My 2016 Budget Look Right

[joedplumber]

Ok so for our 2016 trip (Myself, DW, DD-12 & DS-9) we are driving from CT to WDW and arriving at WDW on a Saturday and leaving the following Sunday. I’m figuring a total vacation cost of $5,500.00

Here are the budgeted amounts for the trip.

Travel to/from CT to WDW (includes fuel, dining & lodging) $800.00

WBC Lodging (8 nights) 1,100.00

WDW Tickets (No WP or Hopper) 1,407.00

Dining/Snacks (Breakfast at condo, 1 TS, 1 QS & Snacks) 1,500.00

Miscellaneous Spending (Gifts/Souvenirs & Parking) 700.00

Total $5,507.00

Just want to make sure that I am in the right ballpark or am I forgetting something.

How many in your crew?

And don't forget parking if you're staying at WBC (or taxi fees, or shuttle fees) - $17 a day for parking I believe.

Do you need to pay for any pet care/boarding while you're gone?

No the animals are coming with us, DD and DS. Lol

Is that enough for dining? Not sure where you plan to eat. Will you be buying the ddp? If so it's $61.84 per person per night which would be more than you've allocated. You currently have $46.87 per person per night which may be fine depending on where you're dining if paying oop.

Tickets for 4 will likely be higher for 2016, depending on days and options...seems Disney always increases about 5% lately, so I'm not sure you have enough there (unless you buy them now)...

Planning on booking and purchasing anything I can now.

Depending on your route you'll want to add tolls as well, but depending on your MPG that might be included in your transportation estimate.

Tip money included for your TS meals in the miscellaneous section?
