I priced a trip to WDW this summer and it was just crazy what it cost.
They are really getting up there. $100 per day plus parking is just over the top.
On top of this they are showing preferential treatment to the guests at the WDW resorts and this drives me further away. I am a frequent WDW traveler, I would say I have been there 10 times in the past 17 years always staying in a WDW hotel. The increases in price and declining by degrees as they call it is taking away the magic that it once held for me.
Its so cost prohibitive I feel guilty about even thinking about booing a trip. When I checked last it was over $3000 to go for 5 days including park tickets and a moderately priced hotel for 2. ( this did include transport as well) but regardless this is out of reach for a returning guest. I think this will help out the smaller parks.
Way more visits than I'd ever go. Now that DW isn't under construction, we were planning a trip this fall but decided to push it back to early spring for a week at the DW resorts. My Mom pushed for a Smoky Mt. Fall trip with my family and my Brother's family together. Something about 12 years with no vacation together quilt trip. Wife wants a room at Animal Lodge that overlooks the Savannah. That's some change. Park Hoppers with the new Magic My Way with up to three ride reserve times a park a day set way out. You bet! We'll take a break about half way through and hit Kennedy Space Center and Fun Spot/International Drive
I'm going to somehow get to LEGOLAND. There's enough of Cypress Gardens left so I want to go there again and take my kids. My Aunt still has my Dad's offer letter from Cypress Gardens to ski for them that he turned down cause he was marring my Mom that summer. We'll go on a Sun nite to Fri. morning timed trip
After that, we are planning a Universal/SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Trip. My Aunt still has my Dad's offer letter from Cypress Gardens to ski for them that he turned down cause he married my Mom that summer. Got to do a show and tell on that. Then I'm done with Orlando till I have grandkids. I want to do the Epcot Food and wine thing with just my wife. I'll pay as much in advance as possible. The continued rising cost of football season tickets is about to get me to drop out so that will be some extra Disney change.
That said, has anyone used Dave's Vacations to get Disney Timeshares on a discount?
My wife has no desire to to LA and do Disneyland and California Adventure and I do. It may be a here Mom you have a long weekend alone while Dad takes us away for a few days type deal, then I'll sneak Knott's and Six Flags MM in on the down low purely for the coaster.
