Reason I've been following the Updated Disney Gift Card Discount thread for the last year.... In general I can save about 15%, which can add up if your doing a vacation or two a year to Disney. Can be a little work, but we are talking big dollars these days.

I do pay many of the costs with discounted gift cards. I don't take my chances with the deeply discounted ones that randomly pop up though, so it's generally in the 5-10% range. Mostly just Target so I can buy as we go through the year and not feel it so much.

I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of $30k for my coming August trip.

After seeing all these trip prices what I am spending on my trip to Hawaii doesnt seem so outrageous!!!

I know! I didn't feel so bad about my cruise to Alaska after adding up what I'm paying in May. Somehow in my mind "Alaska Cruise" > "WDW Trip" and it's not!

It's really made me rethink my planned September trip for Food and Wine at BWV. I have been dabbling with snow birding in the Orlando area but $3k+ a month for a condo was making me pause. Compared to what I'd be paying for November, that doesn't seem so bad after all.

I hear you! We’ve been to the Hawaiian Islands 18 times and we could have taken both kids and spouses to Hawaii for what we are paying at WDW. The only reason we are going back to Disney is for my soon to be 6 year old GD. We both are in our early 70’s and this will be our last time there. Next year back to Hawaii. Enjoy your trip!

We just got back last weekend. Total cost for family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens, 1 child) was $8,649 all in.

This includes:
Gas to drive from NJ to FL and back.
1 night hotel (on drive down).
5 nights CBR.
5 nights parking at CBR and 1 valet at Kidani Village
4 day park hoppers (4 adult, 1 child).
Genie+ (x5 on 2 days, x2 on 1 day)
3 sit down meals for 5 (2 dinners, 1 breakfast).
5 counter service meals for 5.
5 x Resort mugs.
1 x refillable popcorn bucket (plus 5 refills)
Many, many, MANY snacks (especially in EPCOT at Flower and Garden Festival)
Souvenirs for all (except teens bought their own high prices souvenirs like Droids)
Memory Maker
2 x Capture Your Moment photo sessions (EPCOT and AK)

Edited to add: that was the sticker price. I didn't pay that much. I paid for the entire Disney portion of the trip using discounted Disney Gift Cards that I've been accumulating for the last 18 months or so. And all of the non-Disney portions were paid for using cash back credit cards. So, the actual cost was like $7500.

I know. My 16 day trip to Europe and 11 day cruise is only 8k. I say only because compared to what people are willing to pay to go to a theme park it seems like pocket change. There definitely some very deep pockets on this forum. I hope it’s worth it. The feedback on the theme park forum isn’t that positive these days.

Agreed, there must be some very deep pockets on here. I have always kept each trip to around $5K Canadian or so. I usually go for about 10 days if doing WDW (not that many days at the parks, but 10 day vacation). I stay at a rented villa off site, etc. If going to DL I normally go for 8-9 days (maybe a 5 day Park Hopper, and a day at Knotts, etc). Never stay on site. Just get a "decent" but cheap (for the area) walking distance hotel. I use my Alaska Airlines Mastercard points for the flights, etc.

I really wish I didn't see this thread, lol. This trip is not our usual. It's usually just me and DH. We use DVC, SW points AP, Raglan Road maybe California Grill and Epcot food booths. No extras. I'm in sticker shock but I do use all the tips here to get discounted GC.

$ 2000 - Via Napoli, Raglan Road, Whispering Canyon, Epcot F&G booths, T-Rex (tradition)
$2500- lunches, snacks, drinks and DRINKS
$650 – Groceries- Alcohol

At least there are some people in the world not feeling the inflation pain. I may spend 20k vacationing every year, but it's spread out on different trips, not just WDW. I would never spend 20-30k on WDW. We are going to WDW this month. I rented points at SSR 1,667 for 7 nights' preferred studio. I would never pay what they are asking for the deluxe resorts right now. I'll wait for the coming recession when the 40% off comes back.

And for those who would like to know we only go to Disney once every 3 yrs or so. We take smaller vacations closer to home in between (indoor water park resorts) we usually spend about 7-8 k on disney for a week when we are only paying for us but we are paying for more people this time and staying twice as long so it seems about right compared to our usual.
