I was just trying to help. Clearly you are sensitive about it, so I apologize. I shared the pin info because I never knew you could get them cheap on ebay until a fellow dis'er mentioned it- I was super grateful! And I didn't know if you were seasoned, and unless you are pinching pennies or making your own food or only eat a meal and a half a day, 25$ pp/a day wouldnt be enough. Clearly you have done it, just trying to help if not... don't be defensive, some people are just trying to help, and you can't read tones via type.

I thought you were trying to help. I couldn't figure out why they bought 1 day tickets and then 6 day tickets. It would be cheaper to upgrade your one day tickets to 7 or just buy 7 day tickets. I guess they have a reason or they just don't know. I'm not sure how you could eat at WDW for 30.00 per person. I'm budgeting 150.00 a day for me and my son. We like to eat TS for dinner and I know I'll have a few adult beverages. I think 30.00 per day would cover 2 adult beverages per day. WDW food and drinks are not cheap.

They are staying in a family suite so I assumed they were doing a grocery order and not eating out for every meal so the 1K made sense.

How did you get the Grand Floridian w/tickets for that price?

I know I can't post the name here...(against the rules) but it's a Travel Agency offer that happens every year around Labor Day. We have stayed at the Poly with this offer before and it was flawless. This year the Grand Floridian was only $100 more so we snatched it!!

Not including food and drink of course which is unpredictable for us. We can't wait!!

Yep, so sensitive. Although it's not so much sensitivity as it is questioning. This is a thread about how much your trip will cost, which you didn't contribute to at all except to basically tell other people that you think they're spending too much. If you looked at my signature, you can see that while I may not be as seasoned as others, that this will be my 4th trip since 2014, so I have done this before. I just tend to assume people know what they're doing, unless they specifically say so or ask for help.

I couldn't figure out why they bought 1 day tickets and then 6 day tickets. It would be cheaper to upgrade your one day tickets to 7 or just buy 7 day tickets. I guess they have a reason or they just don't know.

I'm assuming you're talking about me. And I think you misread what I said. I am not buying a 6-day ticket and a 1-day ticket. I'm buying three 6-day tickets and one 4-park magic ticket, although I think my wording was a bit different. One person I'm traveling with will be leaving a couple days early and will only be going to each park once, so this was the cheapest option for him that I found.

Yes I did it differently. Thanks for clarifying.

06/17/17 - 07/01/17: For 3 "adults", $2,650 for APs ($1,250 of it was paid with Disney Visa Rewards), $1,100 for 2-weeks in a 1BR Dlx room at WBC, $150 RT driving, $750 for meals mostly us cooking, $250 for souvenirs. Grand total of $4,900 for 2 weeks. When we do go back, maybe December, it will only be $400 for the room + food + travel = $1,000-ish.

Breaks out to $116.67 pp/day for paying full AP. $86.90 pp/day using the rewards for the APs.

 

[hskaggs11]

Going August 4th through the 13th, 2 adults, 6mo infant:
9 nights at AKL deluxe studio on points: $1976
Purchasing APs to use this trip and 2018 trip: $749 (dividing cost of 2 AP by 2 since using it for next years trip as well)
Probably spending around $200/night on food for the both of us (infant will be breastfeeding, so that's free!)
Airfare would have been $900 (lesson learned, don't plan to fly out of MCO on a Sunday, expensive!) but my MIL gifted it to us using points.

Still working out other costs!

Ok I know i am stealing a topic but its a new year. I want to try to keep this as simple as possible and so that we can all compare apples to apples. I fully understand that people will add different things to their own vacations but I would like to try to keep the costs to just the WDW portion of your vacation. No travel costs, unless you want to put it in as an additional cost. So here i go:

A 5 day stay for 2 (me and DW) at Port Orleans Riverside with 5 day ParkHopper and Dinning Plan (1 TS, 1 QS, 2 Snacks/day)
* POR: $1,445.85
* 5 Day Park Hopper: $873.97
* Dinning Plan: $673.30
* Total Cost: $2,993.12 or $299.31/person/day

As a side note....I have been keeping track of the costs of our trips since 2008 and the per day per person costs have gone from $149.72 to $299.31 an increase of 99.9%!!

Family of four= $8300 Sunday to Sunday in June, includes WL, park hoppers for 4 and deluxe dining plan
