How much has your holiday increased since booking?

[wayneg]

Now the OKW/SSR with free DDP deals have ended I priced up how much it would be to book now. Flight prices have also gone thru the roof so here's how much we paid and how much if we were to book today.

4 adults, 1 teen & 1 child(age 3)

Flights (VA, eco out, PE return) £5159.53
2 studios OKW £3510
Disney Tix £1,515
DDP free
Total £10,184.53

Today's prices.
Flights £8,690.54
OKW £5,490
Disney Tix £1,410 (only thing that has dropped)
DDP £2661,10
Total £18,251.64

Up a massive £8,067.11
Just shows how important it is to book at the right time.

I can never resist, I check at least once a month, I suppose I want to know even if they go down, helps for future trips. Thankfully in 27 trips to US I can only remember 1 that dropped after booking and that was to Los Angeles, booked Miles and money saving about £75pp, they then had a sale, could have saved about £25pp and earned miles instead of spending them.

I haven't actually looked aside from later the day I booked when they had in fact gone up - and then once for someone else who was looking for similar dates. But you have me curious now. The question is, at the end of today, can my brain handle seeing all those numbers ?

We (would have) paid £3810 for 18 nights POFQ, free dining upgraded to DDP, 21 day tickets - 2 adults - via VH

Same holiday today is coming in at £5075

 

[2Tiggies]

Considering our party is made up of me and a 9 year old (although I put her down as 10 so essentially an adult for park tickets), the increase in price since I booked last year is SCARY!!!

15 nights at POFQ with 14 day ultimate tickets and free QSDP:
Was £1,865 Now £2,614

Indirect flights from Edinburgh to Orlando
Was £1,020 Now £1,560

Total increase:

£1,289

We're doing New York for 5 nights instead of Orlando but since we booked at Christmas...

Flights - gone up by £238 for 2 adults
Hotel room - gone up by £92/night, up by £461 total
For the two of us, the total increase is £699 (or £349 each). Overall, it's a 49% increase.

What a great idea it was

 

[Disbabe]

Yes I just had to look too!

My flights have increased by £1603 for 5 adult tickets.

At least the rest of the holiday won't increase as we've done it all ourselves and luckily we got a 25% discount on the hotel cost, which has now been fixed. Bought the GO LA cards when they had a 10% discount and the Disneyland tickets don't alter much as not many places sell them, but where I got them from were cheaper than buying from Disney direct.
