How much is your 2013 WDW vacation going to cost you?

[hsmamato2]

some of these posts just crack me up...thanks for the smile with my morning coffee! I especialy like the 'eating dirt' post....
Lots of variations here, but to be 'true' to the title, you should try to include ALL trip costs,so if it's a timeshare,etc trade,or partially used tix or AP, it's more to the spirit of things to include the cost-usage (if you can figure it out)
B/C as much as I'd like it to be true, it costs WAY more than just a hotel price to do Disney.....

 

[hsmamato2]

ok...4 peeps,all disney 'adults'
8 nites Dolphin
7 day PH+ tickets(includes a YES class for one ds)
oop food(almost all QS)
SWA flights FREE
total cost 2916.00 (plus add incidentals like dogsitter + airport parking)
b/c some of this is oop, it is approximate, but it will be about this cost,not too bad for over a week of fun for 4!

to do the breakdown.....
that's 1136.00 for hotel
980.00 for park tix
800.00 qs food (approx.)
20.00 flights (taxes etc)
so technically more like 2926.00 for 8 nights....
...If we go over on food somewhat that's fine, that's just what I've got as an average

well this is my first post in the Dis boards and also our first time staying on Disney property (10th trip to WDW though) 2 adults Oct 26-Nov3 (me and DD 20)
Staying at ASM-regular room 8 nights $1548.66
DDP QS-FREE!! (which is the only way we were able to justify staying on Disney property...this is a trial to see if we like it better than staying off resort)
6 day base tickets included in the room/DDP price
US & IOA 2 day park to park tickets with transportation-$359.94
Flights from Canada-$700.00 (total for both of us)
MNSSHP Oct 31-$155.50
Final total=$2764.10 (DD chipped in $600 and I covered the rest)
I am so happy with this price and all that we will be able to do!! Of course this does not factor in spending money, our reservation for dinner at Chef Mickeys or our food at US/IOA not to mention the huge pigout we have planned for F & W....thank God for credit cards!!

I am at my tipping point when it comes to going to WDW. My family has taken 12 trips since our DS was 6 (he is now 20). Our last trip was sans DS and the trip DH and I are taking in January 2014 likely will be our last. We travel frequently for pleasure (In 2014 we will spend just over 6 weeks traveling: 1 week at WDW, 10 nights in Palm Springs, 2 weeks in Colorado, and 2 weeks in Maui), and I really have gotten to the point where the value at WDW just isn't what it used to be. I know many will disagree with me. Anyway, here is our likely budget for our next trip:

7 nights AKV studio, SV (105 points at $13 per point) = $1365
Airfare on SWA = $480
Town car transfer = $105
La Quinta hotel (park, fly stay...night before our flight) = $105
2 5-day park hoppers through Undercover Tourist = $700
Food (estimate; likely not doing the DDP this trip) = $1000
Extras (mainly tips) = $100
Total = $3855

I do have about $850 in Chase Disney rewards so OOP costs will be around $3K.
