I finally have a total after finalizing some decisions. Our trip will be 9 nights at the Beach Club. 2 adults, one Disney adult (17).
Airfare: Net cost was $500 for 3 people SNA-MCO on Delta. Found an amazing price of $417 round trip, jumped on it and signed up for the Delta Platinum Amex for a $400 credit towards my flight purchase and 90,000 bonus miles. Used some miles already to upgrade to Comfort+ for the longer leg of each flight. I also had a $300 flight credit from 2 years ago.
Hotel: BC, 9 nights at $420/night plus tax. 2 nights paid with Disney Visa point. Outstanding balance is $3300
Tickets: 8 day Park Hopper Plus (military discount price) $1980 total
Rental Car (gotta go visit my parents while there): Hertz Small SUV, total booked price $438. This began at $750 and I've been stalking it and rebooking every time I see a lower rate. I think this is as low as I'm gonna get it. Happy with that price. Never choose the pay in full at booking option, people!
Hubby will drop us off and pick us up at the airport since he can't make this trip, so no cost to park or get to the airport.
I'm factoring in about $100/day for Genie+/ILL, so $800 for that.
Food should be between $1000-1500. We do mostly CS but have a couple TS meals in there.
Grand total: $8000-8500, give or take.
I figured $10k, so I'm pleased with this total.
I'm cash flowing this one. Pay as I go, basically. I've only been out of pocket for the airfare and the park tickets so far. The hotel deposit and one additional night were free with Disney rewards dollars. The majority will be paid in September after I get the credit card bill.
