re: What’s your average cost for a family vacation?

Depends on what we’re doing. We tend to rotate vacations, going on a beach trip one year, cruise the next. If it’s a trip to the beach about $3-$4K. If it’s a cruise, depending on which cruise we take it’s around $7-10K.

Since I’m down to only 2 kids left in the house now it’s around 10-12k for 7-9 days
Posted on 4/23/22 at 9:28 am to StringedInstruments
We probably average 7-8k per trip and do 2-3 a year. In the last 12 months we’ve done:
Virgin Islands catamaran for 7 nights
Vegas, Zion, Bryce
Long Beach weekend destin (2)
Camping in Arkansas (3)

Varies, a week at the beach is the cheapest, no additional cost for lodging. That’s probably $3k-ish.
A week domestically (something like to NYC, Chicago, National Parks, etc.) or in the Caribbean/Costa Rica, etc. probably $8k - $12k
A couple weeks in Europe, $20k ish
These costs will all increase with our present inflation.
These costs are for two people. We don’t family vacation anymore other than some Beach weeks. Too many varied schedules on their parts.

Last summer in Key West was 7-10K for a week.
Posted on 4/23/22 at 10:02 am to StringedInstruments
All depends. This summer we’re going to Tennessee. I’m in for 5k for the house already. Probably another 2-3k while we’re there.
Last may went to Disney. That was 16k but that was a big arse room at the grand Floridian for 6 days then a 3 day beach trip on the way home for 2 adults and 4 of the 5 kids I have.

$7-8,000 For a week with flights for five.

Family of 5 and flights and week at Disney with food will probably be 8k likely little more. Beach with staying in nice condo for a week is 5k maybe little more depending on condo. Condo prices have sky rocketed in last couple years. All inclusive Punta Cana for 7 nights last year cost just wife and I under 3k recently.

We go on two vacations basically. One year we will go to the lake house on copper harbor and the next we will pick a random sandals resort and go there. So one year we go cheap and the next is much more expensive.

$1k a day. More kids you have, the worse the destination is. I don’t have kids so my wife and I usually go to nice places.

Interesting to read the replies here. I don't see how you could do a week long vacation with kids on anything less than $4000.
My wife and I just have a dog, and if we wanted to fly somewhere, rent a car, stay in a hotel/air bnb, and board our dog for 5-7 days I'd imagine we would be looking at a little over $2000 on accommodations alone. Depending on the venue, eating out, shows, tickets to other stuff, etc. I could see us spending $4k easy.
With kids I'd budget at least $6k. If you're going to Disney, add a few grand on top to be safe.

We spent about $7k for three weeks in Spain which included tickets to the Spanish Grand Prix ($1000).
This didn't include hotels and flights as I used points for those. It does include one train trip and six private drivers as I found private drivers to cost no more and in some instances be cheaper than renting a car.
We also ate dinner at a lot of very nice restaurants (many were Michelin). Still other than Barcelona food in Spain was inexpensive compared to where we live.

Took my family of 5 to Yellowstone for a week last year cost about $6k total.
This year going to Universal Studios for 4 nights and cost is $5k before we step foot on property and spend a dime on food and souvenirs. Costs have shot up dramatically the last year. Wanted to do Grand Canyon but just air far was hovering around $4k. This may be our last big trip for a while till things settle

We really didn’t do vacations growing up, maybe a weekend going Biloxi beach was about it

Should be able to do hotel, flights, food for $3500 for a week.
Posted on 6/1/22 at 12:46 pm to StringedInstruments
10k-15k
Posted on 6/1/22 at 1:25 pm to StringedInstruments
About $3,000 every other year and in the opposite years we “vacation” at a family member’s house. Unfortunately, the family member lives near an IKEA store and outlet mall, so the actual vacations to the beach or mountains may be cheaper ??

Last trip to Key West ran about $5k, Jackson Hole about $7500. That's just between 2 people. That was last year though. I would add 2k to each trip now to account for inflation.

$7k - $8k after it's all said and done.
