Our family of 4 went to Disney World like 7 times in 2010-2016. For financial reasons we haven't been since April 2016 but we're planning on going back in February.
I just checked airfare. It's double what it was 3 years ago! We are in New York and a flight from JKF to MCO used to be about $2,000 for the 4 of us. Now it's $4,000! $750 per person for New York to Orlando?!
I mean I love Disney World as much as the next person, but we're looking at $4000 for the flight, $2000 for tickets (4 people park hopper) so that's $6,000 before we get a place to stay. We used to be DVC members but sold a couple years ago. I was planning on renting DVC points and a studio is around $2000-2500 depending on which resort. Frankly that feels like the best deal of the entire trip!
So I guess I'm not looking for much here. It's like $9,000 for a trip to WDW for 4 people once you add taxes to the above prices. I don't think any of you have any ideas to cut the cost down.
