That's US dollars right? How on Earth does it cost 7 grand to go. It definitely didn't cost that much in 2018 when I last went.

Not crazy for a vacation with flights and a hotel involved for 4 people for 7 days.

  • $2k on flight's
  • $2k for hotel (and a few cabs)
  • $1k for food

That’s $5k before any tickets to the park.

$1k for food I don't know what you eat to get a number like that. A full family for a week at Disney? That should be at least $25k, maybe $30k if you want souvenir cups

Typically, on vacation you have to eat out more. That’s about $15 per meal per person per day, excluding breakfast.

I'd assume that includes flights, lodging and meals. If they have two or three kids I could see it costing that much all in, especially if you go to the park multiple days.

Yea, I plan to go again in the next year and in CAD it's about $2500 for flights for four, $2750 for five days of tickets, $1200 offsite accommodations, plus food and local transportation.

There are other ways to go, to stay on park or get package deals but $7000 seems about right for a family of four.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -4 points 4 months ago

Maybe they have 14 kids. Tickets are around $200 per person per day now though IIRC.

[-] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

They only need 2 kids for just the tickets alone to be $800/day. That's not including hotel, transportation, food, etc. It's easy to see how 7 days could cost them $7000.
