Hey friend

 

[squeegee]

$5438.91 for 10 nights at POR-RR, tix for 2 adults/1 child, standard dining plan, and memory maker 12/8-12/18/15

$850 estimated RT airfare

$1500 estimated spending money (tips, OOP extra meals, souvenirs, etc...)

$7788.91 estimated total.

Ouch.

Of course, this is all rack-rate. Free dining would knock off about $1200, I think, though I know POR was excluded last year. We're going, either way.

*edited to add date

Airfare for 3 adults and 2 kids = approx. $2000
Minivan rental = $500 (best I'd found so far)
Total = $5888 + food + BBB + MNSSHP + extras

New plan in progress of changing

Going mid-May. Hitting both EPCOT Flower & Garden and Star Wars Weekends
Just DH + Me
We had a come back code

8 days 7 nights @ POFQ King room, + Park Hoppers, no dining plan = $2500
2 one-way flights on SW $109 (+ free 1 ways to return) = $220
Food budget = wellllll....let's just say we don't like to hold ourselves to a food budget...but it usually ends up around $1000 for us, since we tend to have 1 nice TS a day, and we're drinkers.

I haven't read everything, but it seems so inexpensive for so many people! We're coming to Florida prior to WDW and staying at The Breakers in Palm Beach for several nights as well. At Disney, we're staying 4 nights(I'm trying to talk my hubby into a couple more) at WL CL. So, our entire trip with airfare, car, hotels, food, and tickets will probably be around $10,000-$11,000. There are two kids, two adults and an infant. Hopefully we can get some discounts or free dining so I don't have to sell a kidney!

 

[Saimaeve]

4 Nights Disney's Wilderness Lodge Woods View

Clothing, other pre-trip needs: $350

Total: Close to $11k

We are going back April 30-May 5 to run the EEC as a family. We bought AP's on our trip last October so we don't need tickets. In the interest of full disclosure, I combined the Orbitz/Ebates deal, Target RedCard and the ability to price bridge and bought the 4 AP's for a total of about $1600. So...I'll get started...

Tickets: $800
Transportation: We are flying on SWA using points to get from GRR to TPA. Dad is driving us to the airport so no parking costs. Then we are renting a car from TPA to WDW and dropping it off at the CCC. For the trip home, we are taking DME and flying out of MCO into FNT on SWA and paid cash*. I bought EBCI for our return trip only. Then we have a rental car booked from FNT back home, dropping it off at GRR the next day.
Rental Cars: $112.20
Airfare : $521.00* (I used my RedCard to buy SWA gift cards from Target and saved 5%)
Race Entries: $560.26
Tables in Wonderland Card: $95* (Used RedCard to buy Disney Gift Cards from Target!)
Food: $665* (Again, used my RedCard to buy $700 of gift cards)
Dog Boarding: $440

All total, we're looking at about $3200. I plan on buying some Target gift cards from CardCash or Raise to save another 3-5% off the Disney Gift Cards.


Oops...forgot to mention we are DVC members staying in a standard view studio at AKV-Jambo House.

Round trip flight from St. John's, NL, CANADA - $3000


-Extras-

La Nouba - $600

Total: $20K (OUCH that looks bad when it's written down!)

We are splurging on this one, we don't know when we will get back, AND the prices are in US dollars, and the Canadian dollar is currently not doing so hot, so I'm expecting another $4K in currency conversion rates
And this all started for a friends Wedding on that Disney Cruise!

[Dislover1991]

We did a MYW package with tickets + hotel.

8 nights, 9 days at Caribbean Beach + 5 days of tickets (for 3 adults) = $2720.

It's my birthday trip- we'll actually be there on my 24th birthday! My dad's birthday is 3 days before we leave and my mom's birthday is 1 week before we leave so we'll all be celebrating birthdays

We're driving so we'll be paying about $400 for a rental car. Not sure how much gas will cost- I think it's about a 12 hour drive.
