HOW MUCH IS YOUR 2017 DISNEY VACATION GOING TO COST

[mi*vida*loca]

Which would you do?
November 16-22 2 Adults, 3 Kids (9, 12, 14)
GF 6 Nights with Free Dining
5 day park hopper.
$6680.97

Or

POR 6 Nights
Dining Plan
5 day tickets
$5411.72

This will be our 3rd visit, first was offsite in 2010 second was POR in 2015.

If I could swing it I would definitely do the GF. You will get a bigger room and a separate daybed that is a nice size. With 3 kids this would be very helpful.

I have a question, if I'm not being to nosy... Do you get the one AP to get the discounted room and Tables in Wonderland? I hadn't thought of that before but now you have me curious (or should I say curiouser and curiouser?) about the savings overall by getting the one AP. Thanks for indulging!

Yes, I bought the AP to save an additional 10% on the room. For GF CL for 7 nights the extra 10% off saved me $240 even after paying more for the AP. I am trying to plan another trip back next year and if I can get it confirmed before we check out I will upgrade my kids passes to AP. If we can't get it decided at least I will have my pass and the AP room discount for next trip. The Tables in Wonderland work for us because we like table service and signature and always like to drink with our meals.

Thank you! I'm thinking that this route may save us on our next two trips. I appreciate you answering!

Are the tickets in the 2nd scenario PHs? That would be a factor for my family - PH gives us more freedom in the day. If you can swing the extra $, I suggest trying GF. The monorail is super convenient and you'll get the experience of the MK views. The room and bathroom will be bigger than PO, also, which would be nice with 5 people. And they leave chocolates on your pillow at night You'll have an amazing time either place!

This will be our "first" trip (second for the two adults, first for the two kids)

Free dining
Six days park tickets (with park hopper)
$3009.12
Flights from eastern Canada - two on air miles and the other two in cash - approximately $1050.00
so total is approximately $163.13 per person, per day.
(Around $232.01 Canadian per person per day...with today's crappy dollar)

[Sarahboo]

We're a family of 6 (one child 9 or under):

2 rooms at Pop! for 14 nights with 8d Park Hopper+, upgraded free QSDP to DDP:

Room 1: 4646.78
Room 2: 4384.42
Memory Maker: $149

Flights from PDX-MCO: $3038.40

3 day/3 park Park to park USO tickets: 1879.94

So basic cost before tips, souvenirs, incidental expenses, food at USO, and alcoholic drinks: $14,098.54

We're planning on about $3000 for all of the other things (that's $1500/week or $250 per week per person.

That makes the total cost of our trip $17.098.54.

And now I pass out.

1 night at GF with 8 day PH+ $2550

We're DVC members so it's usually pretty hard to tell how much our trip costs.

I do have a 7-day trip planned during "free" dining in August at All Star Sports for 2 adults and 1 teen.

$1816 - 7 nights with the QSDP
(-827.52) 2-day PH which will be saved for later because we have APs
988.48 - with PH cost removed.

Airfare -- free on miles
Car rental -- free on points

I would probably budget about another $40 per day for drinks and breakfast foods, so $280.

Total: $1,269

Thanks for the info. Yes, leaning towards GF. It seems like a great deal for a Deluxe Resort??

They are not PH's. Our family has not needed them in the past. I'm excited to try a new resort. The monorail is definitely a huge perk! I think the chocolates will seal the deal!!

 

[Rikariko12]

Poly for 7 nights and 8 days + Flying there + meal plan + memory maker + spending money = $11,000 - $12,000

[Jessiemendez1]

CBR recently announced that there will be major construction going on at the resort. For guests who booked prior to March 20th will receive a $75 gift card per night upon check in.

Wow. I heard that but I thought it was $75 total. That's a good deal if you can handle the construction!

Ok I know i am stealing a topic but its a new year. I want to try to keep this as simple as possible and so that we can all compare apples to apples. I fully understand that people will add different things to their own vacations but I would like to try to keep the costs to just the WDW portion of your vacation. No travel costs, unless you want to put it in as an additional cost. So here i go:

A 5 day stay for 2 (me and DW) at Port Orleans Riverside with 5 day ParkHopper and Dinning Plan (1 TS, 1 QS, 2 Snacks/day)
* POR: $1,445.85
* 5 Day Park Hopper: $873.97
* Dinning Plan: $673.30
* Total Cost: $2,993.12 or $299.31/person/day

As a side note....I have been keeping track of the costs of our trips since 2008 and the per day per person costs have gone from $149.72 to $299.31 an increase of 99.9%!!
