Disney

After telling us we should come visit them in Florida anytime, and that it didn't matter if we overlapped with other visitors, now my mom is asking us to change our already-purchased plane tickets because there will be too many people in the house at once. ARGH.

So I thought instead of shelling out to change the tickets, we could use that money to take a family trip to Disney and arrive a few days later at my parent's place.

Do you know how much it will cost for the four of us to visit Disney World for two days, not including food, hotels, or parking? $620!!!

Now I understand why I only went there once as a kid. I think it would be a great experience for K, but once we add a hotel room and car rental it will be well over $1000!

It seems like a waste to go to FL and not visit Disney, but I did not expect that it would be such a huge added expense. (Also, we're flying into Tampa, so it'll be an additional 2-hour drive to Disney.)

  1. The Magic of Disney certainly doesn't come cheap! On the other hand, though, you're saving the money it would cost to fly the four of you down there on another occasion (assuming you still want to go to Disney World at all). Plus only one of you has to take vacation time. So maybe it makes sense to go anyway? Does the $$ above include Epcot and/or any of the other theme parks?

  2. Yeah, we'll probably go anyway, but... jeez. Yes, the price includes four theme parks including Epcot, but since we only have a couple of days and little kids in tow, we'd probably stick to the Magic Kingdom. You can only visit one park per day. (Can you tell I've been doing my research? I was totally distracted by this today.)
