[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify -- the whole trip will be $6000+ ... not just the flights.  [/quote]

We (family of three) did Yellowstone/ Grand Teton for seven nights last summer for less than $3000, including RT flight to Jackson and car rental. And no camping was involved. Scoring RT tickets from DCA for $270 helped.[/quote]

I am impressed, but I have a hard time believing this.... the hotels in the park are all $300/night (including taxes).  Seven nights is $2100... plus flights and food and activity fees and a rental car????  I don't believe it.

Rental car is $500.  Hotels for seven nights = $2100.  Food is at least $100/day for a family.  ($700).  Flights -- you definitely scored... I haven't seen anything less than $600 to any of the location (well, SLC may be around $500 something).  But, you still have to spend an extra 3 hrs in the car (beyond what you would spend driving from JH or Idaho Falls).

Our expected expenses for this summer:

$630/person for flight to Idaho Falls == $2400 (roughly)
Rental Car = $500 for the week with gas
Hotels (most nights in the parks, but a couple in JH) = $2000
Food = $600
Tours/bike rental/ferry/horseback ride = $800

So, already we're over $6000 for four people.

LOVE the idea PP had for OP to do Adventures by Disney (or you could also do REI Family Adventures).  That would be the best idea if money is not an issue.  Austin Adventures is another one I've looked at.  You are looking at$3000+ per person PLUS flight costs.  But, they would take care of all the details for you (except flights). Sounds like full service would be good for your group.[/quote]
