Let me start by saying – whoaaaaaah !! What a great trip it was to Disney. Me and my roomie from Richmond, VA visited Orlando for Disney and Seaworld from May 14-May16.

These are our per expenses for the 3 day trip. We are budget travellors like thousands of u out there and the below will give u an idea of how we managed to have maximum fun at a very reasonable price.

Expenses (per person)
---------------------------
Amtrak roundtrip tickets - $70 (This price will beat any airline price) :teeth:

Disney 2 day 4 park hopper tickets - $130 (including Pleasure Island) The original price of these tickets is about $200. We bought them from Ebay

Seaworld ticket - $60 (We are entertainment.com members and I just showed my entertainment membership card and we got $5 off, it is tough to get discounts on this one)

Rental car from enterprise for the weekend (including gas) - $25
(Enterprise has $9.99 per day weekend specials :cool1: )

Hotel 3 night’s at Howard Johnson, Kissimmee - $50
(This hotel was very decent with continental breakfast. Booked from expedia)

Breakfast Cookies, chips, sun screens, cap - $25
(This helped us to budget our food expenses in theme parks)

3-day Lunch At the theme parks - $40
(Ok, you can't cut on this one no matter what.)

3-day Fruit juice, ice creams, water at the theme parks - $25
(This is a neccesity)

Souvenirs - $20

3-day Parking at Theme parks - $15
(This was a neccesity)

Misc expenses (Tips, Amtrak dinners) - $40
(This was a neccesity. Can't cut on this)


Totals - $500

I hope it helps
 
Wow, that trip sounds like a blast! Amtrak- are you on the East Coast? I am wondering if I will be able to get my son (who starts college next year) from Rochester NY to WDW cheaply, so we can meet up for a family vacation :)

Yes, we had such a great time :cool1:

We are in east coast and travelled by Amtrack train silver star from Richmond to Orlando. Just a word of caution, the train gets delayed by a couple of hours almost everyday. But I don't mind waiting for a little longer if i get such a great deal.
