Our Tentative Itinerary: What do you think?

[Dee McGee]

With the cost of tickets and dining increasing year after year, it has become more and more difficult to afford a trip to WDW. We had to cancel this same trip (Dec 3rd-7th) last year, but are now planning WDW vacation #7 for Dec 3rd-7th, 2018 on a shoestring budget.

Our priorities this time were the Candlelight Processional, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and Animal Kingdom. For 4 nights at Pop Century, two 2-day park tickets, and the dining plan, our total came to $1599 which we feel is a reasonable value budget without feeling disappointed. This is our plan:

One full day at EPCOT with counter service lunch at Yorkshire Fish and Chips and the Candlelight dining package at Garden Grill.

One full day at Animal Kingdom with a late breakfast at Tusker House and dinner at Flame Tree BBQ.

Our third day will include spending the afternoon at Disney Springs then a late lunch/early dinner at Chef Mickey's before Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Sounds like a wonderful time.

Sounds like a wonderful time.

Do you think that is reasonable for $1599?

Your plan sounds great. "Reasonable" is relative. Disney isn't reasonable compared to other vacation possibilities, IMO. I love it, though, and save up until the budget is in the hopper

An exercise you can do is figure out the cost per day for each person. Are the experiences worth it to you?
