[Eighty8Keys]

Two Adults (Each with our own room) – January 2017
12 nights at POFQ – 2 garden view rooms with 10% Disney Visa discount = $4,882.50
2 10-day park hoppers (purchased before price increase) = $913.78
Estimated dining expenses (OOP) = $1,080
Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party = $158
Total = $7,034. 28

Paid for a good chunk of the above with credit card rewards, discounted Disney gift cards, DVA bonus.

Actual out of pocket costs for above items = $3,051.47


Other Costs:
2 rooms at Best Western near PDX the night before we leave: $228 rack rate (paid in full with Chase Ultimate Rewards)
Two round trip, first class airline tickets from PDX to MCO = $2,564 (used miles and paid $47.40 OOP)

 

[Airship Ariadne]

well ours is:
Oct 2017
4 days at POFQ -garden view
4 nights at Dolphin
6 day park-hoppers

Total of $1,618.

The whole trip is being covered by Starwood points or Chase Disney Reward Dollars...or close to it...meals and gas for the drive out and back (LaQuinta points to cover hotel on the way out) and resort fees/tax are the only OOP I expect.

For my solo trips, I usually have a budget around $2,000-$2,500 per trip, for resort, food and tips. These trips are typically 11 nights, and there are usually four per year. The budget is a little stretched for next year because I'm squeezing in an extra 4 night trip in a one bedroom villa at BWV for the marathon (my sister is doing her first 10K and that's where she wanted to stay). So that will probably mean no other deluxe resorts next year, and probably one or two value resort stays to keep everything within bounds. The only other trip that is booked so far is my late January solo trip, which is coming in at $1,600 for eleven nights (I have a couple gift cards helping me out on that one). Living close, I don't have to worry about transportation costs, and I have an AP that was just renewed, so that expense is taken care of.

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%!!

This is almost our trip exactly! We are doing the Play, Stay, Dine package at POR in February. 7 nights, 5 day tickets (non-hoppers) and Dining Plan for me, DH and our two children (both under 3) for $2,990.28

 

[tiggerluver12]

September F&W Festival
2 adults
6 days 5 nights at BWV = $896.00 (dad paid for it)
6 day Park Hoppers = $736.00 (dad paid for it)
Airfare for 2 (waiting on it to release) = ~ $500.00
Food for 2 = ~ $600.00
Total $1,100.00

 

[IrishNYC]

Right now we're at $220pp/day for Sept. 2017.

1 night All Star Sports
5 nights CBR
4 base tickets
DDP
2 adults 1 child

We will be adding one night of MNSSHP tickets, and hoping for free dining or other discount. Our May 2015 trip was 7 nights CBR, DDP, six day hoppers, with a discount and was $176/day.

 

[shannonstar]

2 adults, 1 14 yr old, 1 4 yr old

Update:

Rented DVC points for a Split Stay VWL/BCV right at 2000 for Nov 18th-26th.
Have 240 dollars in GC to Landry's (free) that will pay for T-Rex and Yak & Yeti
Have 95 dollars in GC to Starbucks (so far/free) that will pay for Coffee/Snacks
Have 218 rewards visa GC to use for food while there

Tickets to Disney, Universal and LegoLand look to be right at 3000 for all (7 day PH, 4 day P@P & 1 Day)

Rental car around 400 (still hoping for lower) out of RSW to MCO.

Haven't opened up flights on all airlines yet, likely 400/person so 1200.

Now I'm feeling a bit sick.

OOP so far looks to be 6600 not including food other than mentioned above. So likely with food/souvenirs/gas etc. around 7500-8000. OUCH!

[Farro]

I'm assuming people aren't including discounts in their breakdowns? I see some stays that have people at the Polynesian for $265 a night, that has to be a discount?
