[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone,

I'm planning a 3-night, 3-day trip to Universal Studios in Florida this Christmas, flying out from DCA, and I'm experiencing some sticker shock with the prices. I don't recall it being this expensive in the past, even before the pandemic. I would love to get your opinions on whether these costs seem typical or if I might be overlooking more economical options.

Here's the breakdown:

- Accommodation: Either 2 hotel rooms for $1,800 total or an Airbnb for $1,400.
- Universal Tickets: $1,700 for 3 days.
- Express Passes: An additional $2,400.
- Airfare: $1,900 for regular economy.

This puts my total at $6,800 - $7,200, depending on whether we choose a hotel or Airbnb. Does this range sound about right for a trip like this during the holiday season? I'd appreciate any insights or tips on how to maybe reduce these costs without compromising too much on the experience.

Thanks in advance![/quote]

Hotel: That's $300 per room per night, which actually seems fine for Orlando, especially if you're on property. (And check on property if you're not - i think some hotels comp express passes? If so, that means so long as your hotel is less than what, 650/night you come out ahead)
Flights: are insane for some reason this christmas to MCO, in my experience.
Universal tickets average to $150/day, which makes sense -- unfortunately real multi-day discounts only kick in with the 4-5-7 day stays
The express passes are what's insane here.[/quote]
