Disney is stupid expensive.

A regular normal family trip there is 7-9k

The prices at Disney are spiking upwards, plus, once your kid hits age 10, they are considered an adult when it comes to pricing.

We went in 2017 for 7 nights over thanksgiving week, 2 adults, 2 kids, stay at Pop Century, cost was $3,200.

Just booked a trip for 2020, 5 nights over Thanksgiving break, now have 3 adults and 1 kid, cost is $3,500.

So two less days, one child now an "adult" and the cost is $300 more.

We will probably spend another $1500 in meals and travel costs and other spending. So $5,000 for 5 days.

There are indeed a lot of other things we can do for $1,000 a day. That's why I've resisted my wife's desires to buy into DVC, and we are only taking a big trip there as a family, once every 3 years. We still take a weekend trip there once a year.
