i heard it cost a small fortune to go to disney world, when i was a teen back in the 70's living in south florida i would take my girlfriend about once a month to disney back than you got a ticket book with a few coupons for $7. bucks we had a glove box full of coupons for rides from friends and gas was about .50 cents. gee i missed the good old days.:crying:
September 2012 family of 4 (drove from pa.) check in on Sat. check out the following Sunday morning.Food plan included when you stayed at a moderate hotel. Caribean beach hotel 8 nights, park hoppers for 9 days =$3400 + gas down and back (aprox. $400)
They usually run specials for less days and off peak times of the year from $1800 -$2400
great trip either way.

Stayed at Caribbean beach before also, was fun walking across the bridge and seeing the birds
Had a long walk around that lake every AM though to get my coffee (I am usually up hours before anyone else so it was my little quiet time very morning) so I would end up bringing like 3 cups with me to make it worth my while

I wish you the best time.............
I too have been going to DW since it opened, I have four grown kids from my first marriage and an eight year old from my second. (she's the DB operator).
I can't explain to you other parents some of the hundreds of trips I have made to both Disneyland and DW. But the one I remember best was the one to Disneyland in 67 with my mother. Those trips live with you, forever.
I took the princess last year to DW,just her and I for the day, we went up for two days and stayed in a Radisson (95.00) went over Downtown Disney at night, (blew almost 300 on just stuff). Went the next day to DW just her and I, and we hit Epcot. Hardly a day goes by she doesn't talk about "our" trip.
For you guys and gals reading this, I am asking you to remember to live your lives with your kids as though each and every moment is a Kodak moment, you can never get those back, but you can relive them time and time again in memories. I can think of thousands of them, but I also stop myself and keep thinking all the time, to try and turn each moment with my kids into another one.
Funny, when I was eight years old my father taught me to drive a tractor, plow, disc, and run an automated corn planter. The proudest moment I have had as a parent after watching them all be born was, "Dad, I got it" and off they rode on a mini. I remember the smile on my fathers face when I had him take those training wheels off my bicycle, and guess what? The thrill of seeing my own kids doing the same with a motorized two wheeler??? priceless. I hope you guys rock Disney, I know we do, every time we go.
