HOW MUCH IS YOUR 2017 DISNEY VACATION GOING TO COST

We are vegetarian and relatively light eaters so our food costs are a little lower than for the average family. We also visit annually so don't spend a ton on souvenirs. We are lucky in that we can drive down in about seven hours instead of having to pay for plane tickets, too. These costs are for 2 kids and 2 adults for nine nights including Memorial Day weekend.

9 nights at 1 bed villa at SSR with 7 day MYW ticket - $5158
Memory Maker - $149
10 table service meals, roughly $100 each (probably a little generous) - $1000
10 QS meals + food for room + snacks - $500
4 Cirque du soleil cat 2 tickets = $307
Gas = $80
Souvenirs = $120

Total for 9 nights = ~$7300
 
We are making our first trip to WDW in mid June. It will be myself, my wife, and my son(turns 13 this week). I did not take the time to do an exact price breakdown, but the trip is costing approx $9000. It includes the following:

Round trip airfare from west coast.
9 night stay at Beach Club Villas
9 day parkhoppers X 3
Star Wars Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party x 3
1 day at Gatorland
1 day at Universal both parks w/express upgrade x 2(just son and I)
Rental car
Memory Maker
 
3 Disney Adults (daughter is 14)
Aug. 28 - Sept. 1, 2017

5 days at BWV Studio - $680.00 (rented pts from a friend)
Airfare - $800.00
5 day park tickets - $1,100.00
Meals, snacks, spending $ - 1,500.00

Total: $4,080.00
 
Late Nov-Early Dec 2017

6 nights ASMu preferred for 4 (1 reg adult, 3 Disney Adults)

6 day park hoppers

Free QS Dining Plan

$2862
 


My parents are going with my daughter and I so our hotel room and car rental are split between us. So my total is just for my daughter and I.

7 nights at CBR w/6 day park hopper passes $1473.72
Auto rental $136.74
Airfare $667.80
Universal 1 day park to park $346
MNSSHP $200 (budgeting)
Spending Money: $600

$3424.36 total for my daughter and I. We are also getting $525 gift cards for booking at CBR so I'm hoping I won't need the full $600 spending money budget.
 
We are going 11/14-11/20
3 adults 1 child
CBR 6 nights
7 day park hopper
Free dinning plan
$4299
 
August 22 to 29
Pop Standard Pool View

4 people: 2 adults, 2 kids
$2100 DVC rental 10 nights @ AKL savanna room
$1400 six days park tickets for 4 people (no hopper)
$200 gas roundtrip from Houston, TX
$50 road trip food

$275 10 year anniversary/family professional photos
$150 anniversary dinner @ Jiko
$75 childcare at AKL (for anniversary dinner)

$5620 total

Ideally, I'd like to get that closer to $5,000. I'm still tinkering around with the food budget and what we're doing for our anniversary.
 
I didn't book a room early enough. indecisive travel partners. All that seems to be left for my dates are deluxes......


I am considering 7 nights on the Disney Magic.
$3461 for me + my mother.
 
Staying at Contemporary 9/1-5 (tower - lake view) w/ free dining - 2-day park hoppers. 3 adults. $3414.00 for package. Airfare add'l $258.00 each.
 
Going in July.
Two adults, one teen.

Five nights garden view at POR $1095
Five days MYW tickets (no hoppers) $1100-ish
Food budget $600-ish
Total without travel expenses $2795

Add in hotels for traveling days (2 nights down, 1 night on the way home) about $300, another $250 for gas, meals while traveling about $150, so around $700 total for travel.
 
For JUST the Disney portion, which is 2 Royal rooms at POR for 3 people (DF, DSD (16), and myself), was roughly $7000, for 7 nights, the regular dining plan, and 2, 2-day park hopper tickets (we already had a 2-day PH ticket in MDE).

If you include the rest of our trip: leaving the 18th May, spending the night on the way down (driving), 2 nights at Royal Pacific at Universal, 3 park to park1 day Universal tickets, and 3 Discovery Cove dolphin swim packages, plus the hotel and gas returning home the 28/29th, we come out around $10,000.

It is DSD's first big vacation in several years, and her first trip to Disney/Universal, and our first trip as a blended family, so we went all out.
 
I already posted our Feb 2017 numbers ages ago, but we just added a very last minute anniversary trip that's coinciding with the DIS Epcot party!

2 adults (ONLY! First kid-free trip)
Flights - combo points, vouchers, and companion pass, so $40 total in fees and EBC for the return flight.
2 nights at POR - $388 using UOC
2 day park tickets - $578, considering adding hoppers & express bus for $160
DIS registration & Epcot party tickets - 220
Food estimate (we don't drink alcohol, so it will keep the $ down)- $400

Total ~$1500

I wish I had gone with my gut and upgraded to an AP when we were there in Feb, but we're only at 10 days of park tickets total, even adding this trip, so I suppose it's ok.
