For those willing to share - how much did you pay for your package?

[Lil Davy]

I'm just curious how it all works out in the end with discounts, codes, free dining etc. This might be helpful to others just beginning to plan vacations as well.

Resort: Poly
Number of People: 3 (Me, DW and DD-5)
Length: 7 Nts (8/15-8/22)
Dining: Basic Dining (not Quickserve)
Codes: 40% Room
Discount: AAA - but this was superceded by the 40% Room Code
Park Tix: 8 Day Hopper w/WaterParks
DME: Yes
Airfare: Not included
Travel Protection: Yes
Total: $3588.19

SO how does this stack up to everyone else.

I know, I orginally had a Free Dining bounceback, but this was a better deal with all of the grandkids being the right age. I was thinking next year we'd take a road trip to the Dells, but now I'm hoping they have this promo again so I can take advanatge while the grandkids still pay the kids price.

Everything is already paid for so I'm going to round since I've forgotten the exact numbers.

We're going Thanksgiving week so everything is more expensive this time!

6 people (me & hubby and 4 kids 17, 14, 11 and 7)
3 nights SSR, 4 night cruise, 2 nights BLT...DVC points (2 yrs of points so would be about $2,000 in maintenance fees)
flights $1,000
tickets $500 (because of GAD)
food $0 (I've saved up $1,000 on my Disney Visa! I call it DVC free dining!)
Total approximate cost: $3,500

I still may add on MVMCP!
