Need to keep my budget to under $1400. The kids are off the week of 4/11 for some bizarre reason this year so no free babysitting this year since my mom works in another school district that has a normal spring break.
I've been signed up for the give a day promotion- making 10 cat blankets from each of the family and will be handing them in on saturday- so I will have the voucher. Will exch the free one day ticket for an upgrade to the Fl Res 4-day pass for an additional $40 a person- ticket total $160.
4 days at Bonnet Creek in a 2 bedroom condo- $400. We're driving of course so I am not counting the food staples I'll bring- cereal, fruit, rolls, cold cuts snacks- wine, soda, milk & juice as part of the budget since this will come from my reg shopping budget. We have two soft coolers that we can use to pack sandwiches, snacks & drinks for the parks. But we're used to buying food at the park so I am assuming $75 a day for food anyway. We do have a gift cert for House of Blues in DTD and $50 in Chili's gift cards so at least two meals are covered. Bonnet Creek has a lot of activities so I think we'll arrive early sunday to check in and take advantage of the resort and use the tickets Mon- thursday. Since we check out thursday- I am thinking of booking Royal Pacific by universal(pin code gets this for $94) and going to a universal park or aquatica (which dh & the kids are really looking forward to doing)
Does all of this sound feasible? If I need to go on the cheap for the last nite- I may try for Priceline to get the Radisson Celebration Resort since a lot of people get it under $50. Is universal still doing the movie/dinner deal for $25? that might be an option for thursday nite.
What other ideas can you suggest?
