I'm a substitute teacher and even though I work a lot, I do not make enough in one year to pay for our upcoming Disney/Universal trip. We are even staying off property to save at least $1,000 over on property and still it's going to be about $8000. We're using our $1,500 in Disney Visa rewards to pay for all the food and souvenirs so that's not even in there. We are splurging on
MNSSHP, and the price of that completely doubled since our 2018 trip!
6 bedroom house 8 nights: $2,200
6 day base ticket: $2,400
Universal 2 day ticket: $1,677
Hard Rock Hotel 1 night: $544
MNSSHP: $946
That's not including gas, parking and cheap hotels on the way down since we're driving.
If it was $4,000 we would go more often, I just can't spend this much each year when a beach vaca (full week, directly on the beach) costs less than half and we LOVE the beach!
