Hi! I would love to go to WDW in early May. I am curious about how much people end up spending on a trip with a family of 4, not including airfare.
(ETA: would it be remarkably more affordable to go at another time??)
DS1 will be turning 11 and DS2 will be 8.
We've only been once with them, when they were 2 & 4. Considering that we haven't been since, I regret that we didn't wait, until they were a bit older. We stayed in a big suite at one of the official affiliated hotels, by what used to be called Downtown Disney. My parents went also, and paid for most of what we did. We had a rental car and that worked out fine. My impression is that there are more advantages now to staying at a WDW resort.
I want them to get that "Disney Magic" feeling, but I am sure they'll be clamoring for the Harry Potter stuff at Universal. I guess we'd have to stay a week to fit enough in? I'm not sure if that will be possible! We're not a get-up-and-go early morning family and I know we'd have to be for this!
I know there is a huge range of what families spend, from more budget friendly through extravagant. DH would not want to take extreme measures to try to do it less expensively. Of course, the less costly it would be, the more possible it may be to actually get there.
Thanks for any guidance!
