Who wants to share how much they are paying?

[TraceyDisney2008]

I see all the people in the US posting the great deals they get and am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if my prices seem right. I know flying out of Toronto raises the price a great deal but even flying out of Buffalo I still think I am paying more than others.

August 22-September 1

If they offer free dining through west jet like last year my 10 day package from TO for 2 adults with 9 day hoppers at ASMu is $2900 Canadians Funds.

If I book through Disney and use their flights out of Buffalo 10 days as ASMu 9 day hoppers with free dining at ASMu $2300 US Funds so with exchange 27-2800.

This was all done during high time too during the March Break!

Were the deals you saw the 4/3 offer? If so, it's a great offer, but probably will not be offered during free dining.

Without flights, your dates for Disney at ASMu would be $1540 in a standard room, inclusing 10-day hopper.

Now, if you price a different date that offers the 4/3 deal, the price without flights would have been $1126. However, as of today, that offer is no longer available, had to be booked by Mar 29th and I'm not sure if they will extend the booking date or not.

You should have a look at upgrading that ticket to a 10 day ticket, hopper, No expiry. That gives you three more days at a cost of about $99USD per ticket, as compared to $262USD for 3 days, really good savings.

We are paying $1900 (us funds) from Aug 22- Aug 30th for 2 adults and 2 kids (considered adults also). We have 5 nights at CSR and free dining and 3 nights at GF room only and a 1 day base ticket for each of us. If we don't get a good deal out of Buffalo we will fly AC on points.

 

[hockeymom3]

We are paying:

$2750 Cdn for 5 airfares DIRECT from Halifax to Orlando. (Canjet)

$910 Cdn for 4 - 7 Day Disney Base Tickets (Disney Store) - will probably upgrade to 10 day when we're there)

$2215 US for 11 nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge from May 2-13th

I was originally booked with 4/3 but cancelled and re-booked when the rooms only deal came out. Much cheaper to get tickets through Disney Store and pay Cdn $$, and the room rates were slightly cheaper to get it for $179/night than it was to pay for 8 and get 3 free. And of course you HAD to buy your tickets through them for the 4/3 deal.

So we upgraded from CBR to AKL when the room only rates came out.

Wesjet vacation package: Family of 4 (kids are 13 and 14)

Flights from Moncton, 7 nights @ POP, 7 day base MYW ticket, including all taxes: $3582 canadian

 

[rodeo65]

We're driving so can't comment on flights, but we have 8 nights for a family of four at CBR with DDP, park hopper, all taxes and fees in, through CAA for approximately $3000 CDN. We booked on 4/3 originally for 7 nights $2740 then added a day on so I'm not sure exactly where it ended up since we had already paid a deposit but 3K sounds about right. I was happy that they were quoting in Cdn funds though since the xchange has changed so much.

 

[roscoepc1]

Flying NWA out of Detroit, 5 of us for $1500, direct, non-stop. We paid of rthe tickets in June, when the dollar was at $1.02, so that was a HUGE savings!

4 of us, 8 days at CBR, Pirate room, dining plan, park hopper tickets for 7 days. $3020.

 

[mermaid&cinderella]

I have 10 days booked at CBR during free dining. I am paying $2840 US for CBR with preferred room, tickets with hopper.
I did find a flight for the 3 of us with Westjet for $1000 CDN out of Pearson but have not booked that yet.

 

[TraceyDisney2008]

2 Adults @ ASMu, 10 day hopper plus, free dining, flights from Pearson $2800.
I think I paid a few dollars more than I should have but with the exchange rate I didn't want to risk it. When I called WDW today the cost was 1800.US and then the cheapest flight I could find was through west jet for $412.00 So I just booked a package through west-jet.

 

[two*little*birds]

7 nights at the Poly (garden view room) + dining + tickets (6 day base) = $3563.12 USD. We used our 40% PIN to get this rate.

Hoping to get a good deal for flights out of Buffalo, or we'll use points out of YYZ.

 

[5boyz]

I am going July 25- Aug 8 (14 nights). POP, QSDP, 10 day base/1 day base with 2 4/3 deals. For 4 ppl 2adult 1 disney adult 1 child...$3675.US, we are flying out of Buffalo, so far have only booked my flight there for $69.ea totaling $318US. Hoping to get return for about the same or less.

You are right, it is priceless....my husband doesn't see it as priceless yet and he still may not when we have 3 hot, tired, cranky kids but it'll all be memories!!!

 

[grace&philipsmom]

We are lucky to be flying on aeroplan points (still cost about $600 cdn for fees and taxes). Traveling August 26-Sept. 2.
7 nights at poly (gv), 8 day park hopper passes, getting free dining but upgraded to deluxe, and 8 day car rental. All booked through the disney online site for $4651.02 USD.

 

[laura001]

We are going Sept 16 to the 22, 6 nights 7 days, 2 adults, park hoppers with water park, Wilderness Lodge (courtyard view) with dining for $2120.04 USD

Our flights out of Buffalo are a total of $366.00 return for the two of us.
We booked on the bounceback offer

 

[caperdoc]

We are six adults ( 4 kids in late teens) staying in a 2bedroom at SSR on the 4/3 deal for US $4200.00 Our flights from Halifax to Tampa and Orlando back to Hfx direct were $500.00 each so $3000.00CDN.
Add in $408.00 for van rental and $1500.00 for food and restaurants and miscellaneous and our total is

$9100.00
The only good thing about this is that while the dollar was over par I managed to sock away about $9000.00 so this trip is " an on par "trip!

Hi!

We are in Dartmouth..this is our second trip. We loved our stay last year and are soooooo excited to go back in 1 month and 1 day!!

 

[dancin Disney style]

Our last trip was the cheapest per day trip we have done yet. I can't remember the exact cost of everything but here it is, roughly.


Family of 4...2 adults, 1 18yo, 1 9yo

Drive roundtrip from GTA to Orlando: $625
food: $915
14 nights at POP, preferred room: $1632 (CAA discounted rate)
5 day premium park tickets: $720 (discounted through a convention we attended)
spending money: $300
Total: $4192 US (exchange rate at the time was 1.06)


Back in 2005 we spent $4000 on an 8 night trip. I've learned a lot since then. It has become a challenge to me to make each trip less expensive than the last.
