How much could you spend on WDW vacation?

[Marionnette]

My DH and I had a conversation last night about him possibly getting a big raise and our next trip to WDW and he jokingly said spend it all on the trip...which got me thinking, we are a pretty average middle class family with 3 kids (8, 5, 1)... And I don't think we COULD spend $20,000 on a vacation at Disney even if we wanted to, typically we stay value, and with airfare, a weeks stay, tickets, and food, we are about $3500. So not counting souvenirs and having only 4 people on your trip, could you spend 20k on a week trip?

Ive never spent that much on any vacation but I wouldnt rule it out. Im sure that if I tried really really hard I could find a way to blow through that kind of money at disney if someone else footed the bill. But I have no desire to spend that kind of money on disney. A european cruise, yes. Disney, no way!

I've got three little little letters for you...

DVC

Would I spend it on one trip, heck NO, would I spend it on 50, heck yea, and I DID. About 7 years ago hubby got a totally unexpected bonus and we blew it, only time in my life I've done it and I don't regret it one bit. We bought 150 points and have enjoyed many wonderful vacations. The one thing I would probably do differently is buy resale.

Highly recommend it. We go once a year, sort of, we buy annual passes with our DVC discount and go in say December (love the first week or two) then we go the next year in November on the same annual pass. Then we don't go until December the next year so we actually go twice in a twelve month period and then take a 13 month break and then go twice in a twelve month period, you get the idea...

we love it.

Yep. I've got champagne taste on a beer budget. LOL
Flying 1st class would be pricey.
