Thanks so much! My dd's birthday is in November too and we are going to WDW the week of T-Day, just a couple days after her birthday. Hope you all have a happy and fun sweet 16 too!

Ok, curiousity got the better of me. Don't know if you want to share but our dd was born on Nov. 20 1997. We are going in August though and celebrating her and my ds' graduation.

My dd's birthday is Nov. 21, 1997! I guess it's a small world after all!
I hope you all have a fabulous trip - these little princesses and pirates grow up awfully fast.

@dizcrazee I love that you are doing this trip for your daughter's 16th. Such a great way to spend a little money. You won't regret the $200 Christmas at all. See if your library has the Little House Christmas book for ideas on making memories with little to no money.

Thank you! I will definitely see if I can get that book! I hope you have a wonderful trip too.

And the 4th time is the charm. I paid in full and am almost in the 45 day window so no changing ....again.....

Aug 17-25. 8 nights with 2 adults, 2 kids
Beach Club with 7 day park tickets plus 1 water park $2590
Flights from Boston $910 (if I remember right) somewhere around that anyways.

Total cost $3500

Plus OOP food estimates $1200

Misc spending...$400-$500 as each kid has their own money saved up to spend.

9/3 - 9/8

BC w/ FD
6 day tix w/ PH and Water Parks
$3169.84

airfare BWI to MCO on AirTran
$779.40 (the most we've ever paid )

It sure was a lot cheaper to go when the girls were 9 and under. Then I would pay for the dining plan and use room discounts. This time it was $200 less to use free dining and pay full price for room.

 

[Worldgirl]

$911.11
1 night at Universal's Hard Rock hotel AAA discount (sadly no pass holder discount available)
$336.60
Airplane tickets
$835.60
We are going to use the passes we already purchases last year for a different trip.
No dinning plan.
original total 2,083.31

Thank you! We are going to have a "Beauty and the Beast" themed birthday party on her actual birthday (the 21st), and then on the 23rd, we leave for WDW!

You're welcome! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney film. My birthday cake was topped with a big white chocolate Belle. You're going at a good time. I remember that the crowds kept on getting thinner each day after thanksgiving, with the exception of Christmas parade filming days.

B & B is my daughter's favorite too! Mmmm...a white chocolate Belle - that's a great idea! Thanks again.

So, I've been putting off making this post because I DON'T want to know the bottom line My cast of characters include my husband and myself and our two sons 23 & 17 years old. We are headed down for our 25th wedding anniversary which we celebrated on May 7 and for my sons' birthdays they are only 8 days apart at the end of September

Villas at Wilderness Lodge 2 bedroom $1,250 (I consider my maintenance dues as part of a vacation cost and I had to buy 13 more points)

Airfair ISP to MCO for 4 $1,119.20 on Southwest

Food for the week I budgeted $200 per day for a grand total of $1600 also $200 from garden grocer for breakfast and snack foods

2 Annual passes with DVC discount $928
2 Eight day park hoppers $638

Wishes Cruise $317 including tip

For drinks and souvenirs $300

Tables in Wonderland card $100 with DVC discount

For a grand total of $6452.20

 

[BalooPA]

Honeymooning at WDW on 9/25 - 10/5

$3127.20 for Coronado Springs w/ Free Dining Plan plus 8 day MYW Park Hopper tix. The reason for only 8 day tix is we are getting there late afternoon on 9/25, doing a Downtown Disney day mid-trip, and then leaving early on 10/5.

 

[Pirate4Ever]

I'm going to take a few liberties in adding up my costs. I know that I pay for my DVC points every month, but to me, that's like paying my utilities every month. I like to look at our Disney Vacations in terms of what do they cost on top of what we normally pay in a month. With that being said:

Travel dates: July 23-July 30

Airfare for 2 adults and 1 child (2 years old in her own seat) on Southwest: $610*

*used CC points to pay for 2 of the direct flights

2 nights at Saratoga Springs in a deluxe studio: 32 pts

5 nights in a Royal Room at Port Orleans Riverside: $1,013 (booked using the room-only discount)

Tickets: using Premium Annual Passes from last year

Food: we actually did the math in trying to determine whether or not to get the DDP! We'll round up from our worksheet: $800.

Souvenirs: 3 Disney gift cards given to us at Christmas: $150 (not our cost!)

Subtract $110 from our Disney Visa rewards that we're cashing in!

Grand total: $2,313

Not too shabby!
