I have a friend who goes with their husband and kiddo who spends the entire year seeking out the cheapest ways to go and it literally takes months but saves them $8k off normal pricing. That still leaves them needing $7k for the week vacation. I couldn't even imagine caring that much about something. I wouldn't mind going but the absolute most I'd spend if $2k for the entire stay which will never happen since the flights alone would be that for me and my family.
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.
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.
