So How Much Is This Gonna Cost Us?

That is the million dollar question. Or rather several hundred dollar question. Here is the breakdown of costs for your consideration. I am the best at finding deals and I WILL be looking for deals nonstop until Sept to make sure that everyone can have as much spending money as possible!







Rooms:



We have our rooms taken care of for as many as we can get in there. We have booked a four bedroom presidental reserve condo. This has two master bedrooms, two secondary bedrooms, and very large balcony, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, dining room and living room with a fold out couch.



The resort is at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. http://wyndhambonnetcreek.com/
Travel:
That kind of depends on you - You can drive: Cheaper but will take one to two days travel time and a whole lot of sitting or You can fly: More expensive but shorter.

Tickets:

This is what everyone is waiting for. The cost to get into Disneyworld.

Tickets to Disneyworld can get somewhat confusing. There are several options to choose from and they all have a good and a bad. Here is the basics:

Magic Your Way Ticket
The magic your way ticket is bought by the day. You decide how many days you want to spend at Disney and buy that many days. The first day is the most expensive and the cost goes up for each day that you spend at the park. However, the more days that you pay for the cost for each day goes down considerably. The ages are 3-9 and 10 and up. The babies that are 2 and under are free, but after their 3rd birtday you have to buy a ticket.
As an example: We have to buy 2 adult tickets and 2 children tickets.
Troy - adult
Joni - adult
Kyler - will be 9 - child
Kayla - will be 8 - child
Kennedy - will be 2 - free
Prices without tax:
1 Day Adult 1 Day Child
$ 82 $ 74
2 Day Adult 2 Day Child
$ 162 $ 146
3 Day Adult 3 Day Child
$ 224 $ 202
4 Day Adult 4 Day Child
$ 232 $ 209
5 Day Adult 5 Day Child
$ 237 $ 214
6 Day Adult 6 Day Child
$ 242 $ 219
7 Day Adult 7 Day Child
$ 247 $ 224
These prices are for ONE park each day. You can't "park-hop" with these tickets. It will record that you went into one park and not let you into another park on that same day. If you want to go to more than one park in one day - say Animal Kingdom in the morning and Epcot at night, then you have to buy a Park Hopper ticket. The Park Hopper ticket is an extra $54 to the ticket price. It does not matter is it a one day ticket or a seven day ticket. It also does not matter if it an adult ticket or a child ticket.
I will get into ticket costs a little more later. There are only a few discounts that you can get if you are not staying at the Disney parks and they are only a few dollars for each ticket.

Food:

We will have a full kitchen and you can bring food into the park. However, one meal inside the park is a major treat and very expensive. Troy and I can spend $120 -$ 130 at a sit down resturant easily. I figure that everyone who goes can spilt the costs of groceries when we get there. Troy and I will bring basic stuff like flour, sugar, spices and condiments to cut cost on things that add up fast. We can discuss menus later.

Those are the biggest costs involve. We know that a Disney vacation can be costly but we want everyone to come and have a good time. We are trying to cut costs alot by providing the room and planning on eating at the condo most if not all of the time. The biggest cost will be the tickets and it will be up to you to decide how much you can afford, we will plan around and have a good time with what ever we need to do.
