[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if our trip truly qualifies as a "Disney trip," but that's how we sold it to the kids and they remember it as a "magical" time.

The entire budget was under $3500 for our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids) spending 6 days in Orlando during spring break:

Family size - 2 adults & 4 kids (17, 15, 9, and 8)
Length of trip - 6 days
Transportation costs - $580 mini-van rental (Avis); $0 for flights (transferred about 60,000 Chase UR points to SouthWest and was able to get all tickets using reward points) 
Accommodation costs (and where did you stay?) - Just under $700 for a 3BR townhouse in Terra Verde resort in Kissimmee
Admission costs - 
  1 Day in Disney's Magic Kingdom (entire family) - $650
  1 Day at Smyrna beach (entire family) - $15 for parking at drive up beach
  1 Day in Universal Studios Island of Adventure with fast pass (teens only) - fast pass was about half the added cost when booked for a Sunday -- $332
  1 Day in Lego Land with water park (adults and 2 smaller children) - Used a Living Social deal for a discount -- $232
  1 Day at Kennedy Space Center (entire family) - $297 
  1 Day hanging out at resort - $60 for poolside drinks/meals & activity deposits
Misc. Spending in the parks - Older kids were given $20/day at parks. Younger kids had a $10/day budget. Total for gas and parking was probably another $75. 
Anything else?? - I budgeted $450 for meals which included two dining out occasions; once with a Groupon to Cici's pizza ($21 for entire family); used PayPal CC rewards redemption for a $50 disney giftcard used at Disney's Plaza Restuarant (left about $100 out of pocket on check); and the rest on groceries to stock the fridge at the rental house. We ate all breakfasts at the house, packed lunches and snacks for all park visits, and took a picnic basket to the beach.

Enjoyment by the kids = priceless.[/quote]
