So what did this all cost? Take a guess. Remember that I am pretty good at finding deals. We also have a timeshare so the 8 days we spent at Disney's Boardwalk Villas only cost us our exchange fee. I also had $370.28 on our Disney rewards Visa card to use towards this trip. We have been saving our reward dollars since 11/07. We used $230.28 towards the 10 day passes and the other $140 towards the All Star Sport Resort stay.
The total below includes everything for all 12 days from the time we got to the airport to go to Florida until we arrived back at the airport from Florida. Yes, it includes all the Starbucks on the way home.
The grand total out of pocket for everything was:
$2,980.06.
Here is the break down:
Food & Drinks: $408.76
Grocery delivery: $101.71
Resort fee: $95.00
Airfare: 1,255.50
Disney 10 day passes: $445.72 (was $676 before Disney rewards)
Disney All Star Sport Resort: $284.79 (was $424.79 before Disney rewards)
Timeshare exchange fee & Insurance: $203.00
Souvenirs: $145.88
Tips & misc: $40.00
Not bad I must say. We purchased our airline tickets last summer and paid our timeshare exchange & insurance fees last February. 1/2 of the cost was paid in advance so that was nice. The rest will be paid as soon as the credit card bill comes in a couple weeks.
We had an awesome time. I love to travel and spend time with my family. I would go to Florida again but I wouldn't go back to Disney World. I think once is enough. Disneyland is MUCH closer for us. We can be there in 5 hours by car. We will stay close to home when we need our Mickey fix. Besides we like Disneyland & California Adventure better!

I completely agree! We actually went because we have a timeshare also. When we purchased our timeshare, we got five free airline tickets to anywhere in the continental U.S. and this was the furthest place we wanted to go to in the US. So we ended up just paying food, the exchange fee, got a smoking deal on a rental car and gave each of our 3 kids $100 for souvenirs for the week. It was a blast but all in all we love Disneyland more and couldnt figure out the big hype for Disney World. It was really good family time though
