Trip cost these days?

[I Run Long]

I Run Long - how long did it take for your tickets to get delivered by American Attractions when you ordered from them?

I believe it was around 7 days. When I ordered them online they contacted me via email to confirm that I was who I said I was. They asked me to send them a copy of a utility bill as proof (name on my credit card matched my address etc). So I ordered them online on April 26, I sent them a scanned copy of a utility bill a couple of days later, then I got a confirmation on April 30th that the tickets had been sent. I believe it was around 5-7 days for them to get to my door. Linked them using MDE and that was it. I would definitely use them again.

Thank you. I have been trying to communicate with them via email, but response seems to be hit or miss. Wish they could just send me the tickets via email, but they seem unwilling to do so. Appreciate your input. Just trying to get the tickets ASAP as I'm only 12 days from my window to register for fastpasses.

Just want to reassure you that getting your FP+ aren't *always* a do-or-die issue. We did a spontaneous trip in early January when the parks were still full with people because schools were still out and i was able to get every single thing i wanted at less than 30 days, including Soarin' on it's last day of operation. I was also able to get all of our ADR's at that point as well, including (if i had wanted) pre-park opening at every single restaurant. When i was checking for lunch at BOG on Christmas eve I had not set the time i wanted yet and it was still showing times available for Christmas day!!
Have a great trip

Roughly $2600 USD for 5 nights at CBR, 4 day PH for 2 aduts and 1 child, 3 MNSSHP tickets, memory maker, and the costs to drive down (including two nights in other hotels) and OoP meals and gratuity (we had free dining). My bff came with us and split the cost of the room, memory maker and gas, saving us around $500-$600. Oh, that also includes stroller rental. Souveneirs were rxtra, but we didn't spend all that much. We actually have two children, but our younget DS is under 3 and usually splits meals with me or his brother, so he cost almost nothing.

I know this originally asked about Disney but we booked last week for a Fall trip to Universal. I hope it's ok to include in here.. just in case anyone is interested.
We bought 2 day Park to Park tickets that included a 3rd day free a few months back. The plan was to use them as a Christmas gift for the kids, drive down after Boxing Day and take advantage of the extra vacation time we had for a surprise trip. No matter what I did though we couldn't get the prices to a reasonable place (it being the busiest time of year in Orlando). We kept going over the fact that we've been enough times that we could handle not getting to do and see much because of the crowds, and then countering that plan with the fact that we didn't HAVE to go that week and it seemed silly to pay twice as much when we didn't have to and battle crowds when we didn't have to.
Long story short, that led me to checking AirTransat like some people on here had mentioned and we loved the price and booked to go for over Halloween.

So the breakdown...
7 nights in October in a Cabana Bay family suite
4 roundtrip non stop flights from Toronto on Airtransat
8 day full-size car rental from Hertz
Seat Selection for the four of us on both flights (with DH in a seat with more room because he's tall)
Total Package Price - $2519.33 CAD

3 two day PTP ticket with a third day free from UT- $830.67
1 two day PTP ticket from Airmiles- Free.
(we will be upgrading all tickets to Powerpasses when we get there to get a second trip out of them in 2017.. I don't remember exact cost to do that but we've done it before and it's nominal)

So far we are at $3349.67.
We will still need to pay for food and dog boarding at a minimum so I am estimating $1500 CAD there.

Grand Total = $4850 Canadian

We are going to Disney in May, and certainly hadn't planned to go back this soon, but this will take the place of our 2016/17 winter getaway.

For our recent 10-night March Break trip (family of four):

$2000 - direct flights YUL <-> MCO
$200 - hotel/parking in Montreal (we live in Ottawa)
US $825 - 6 nights SSR 1BD
US $250 - 3 nights AKV studio
US $150 - groceries
US $1013 - 3x 7-day park tickets
$1000 - dining out / drinks / snacks / souvenirs (actual CC charges, converted)

So depending on USD conversion rate at time of purchase, that puts us a bit over $6000 Canadian. But that's undervaluing the true cost. I got one adult 7-day park ticket using Air Miles, and the listed accommodation costs only include my timeshare maintenance and exchange fees. If I add in a reasonable cash equivalent value for the Air Miles, plus a relatively conservative portion of the up-front cost of our timeshares, we'd be right around $7000.
