WE are buying the DDP because it is a good value and then we don't have to worry about food since it will be mostly paid for.

Last years trip was $5000 total for 8 nights at Poly for me, DH DD5 and DS2.

This year with discount for Poly the Pkg. is $3569 for 8 nights, 7 day hoppers and dining plan, which includes DS since he will be 3 by time of travel.

We are driving most likely, so add $200 for gas and $100 for hotel on way down.

Also pet kennel for dog is about $150 (includes bath)

extra meals or snacks $100

Souvenirs I figure $200

Also we are getting tickets to MNSSHP and that will be $150

TOTAL=$4369 DH will not see this, even if it's a good deal.

We usually go yearly or every 2 years at most. Of we fly it will be about $1000 but then I can take off the $100 hotel and driving gas so it will be $700.

5 people total, my husband, myself, kids:3,1(almost 2), and 6 months.
We stayed at the value.
6 nights 7 days
We fly cause we are in ca
we did the dinning plan cause it was so fun not looking at prices and we saved 350 dollars.(AND GAINED 4 POUNDS< JOINING WEIGHTWATCHERS ON MONDAY...)
7 day park hopper
we did the dvc open house when we went so we got 75 dollars in gift cards which helped on the t-shirts and mickey hats for the kids
so total we spent 2400 for package with air and dinning then add on the 75 dollars to park car and food at the airports and extras at disney, and gas to the airport(BURB IS A GAS HOG)
so 2700. Well worth it! plan on goin next yr or the following yr.

I didn't respond to the poll, since we buy at WDW and bring. We are DVC and although we're usually in a studio, we bring breakfast for everyday, plus some snacks. We bring fruit, yogurt, a loaf of bread and some peanut butter. For snacks, we bring some nuts and some sort of treat.

We save a lot of money by eating breakfast in the room, plus I like starting the day off with a simple, quick, healthy breakfsat. I think it makes my day go better.

For our WDW purchases, we have DDE and save money that way.
