-7 nights in 2BR at Saratoga Springs, Dec 31, 2023-Jan 7, 2024 $0 (my mom pays our joint DVC dues as our main gifts for Christmas/birthdays every year)
-driving, usually 1 1/2 tank each way plus SunPass tolls, $250
-(5) 7 Day park hoppers, all adult $3900 (oldest DD and BF will be coming as well but will buy their own tickets)
-Dining, budgeting for 1 TS and 1 QS per day $3100
-Genie+, I hope to avoid getting it every day but budgeted for 6 days at $25/day $1050
-Groceries, breakfasts in the room, waters, snacks $300
TOTAL: $8600
Nothing currently budgeted for souvenirs, I have my own savings for mine and the kids are all on their own (ages from 15-25). They will probably get a few $ on Disney giftcards for Christmas.
I feel for you all that have to fly! No way we could do that with a party of 7. DD and her BF will most likely be flying in from NC. They have a wedding to attend on NYE so won’t arrive until Jan 1.
I currently have close to $2000 saved and another $300 in Disney Giftcards already purchased at a discount. I tutor online for extra $ and should be able to make the rest by the trip once classes start up again in September. Our last trip was 2021 and I don’t anticipate a big family trip for a few years after this, kids are all spreading their wings and it gets harder and harder to get everyone’s schedules to align.
