TheMouseForLess SURVIVOR CHALLENGE #6

The Red Hot Disney Divas

It's a Draw!

Kungaloosh

You have $2500 and a family of 3 (two adults, one child). Exlcuding airfare and using only prices that can be be verified on the internet, stay on site for 7 nights, get admission to the parks for 4 days (passes bought specifically for this trip) for all and bring your entire family for 1 visit to a water park. The goal is to come in "as close" to budget as possible. Your budget must also include transfers to and from the airport and may be scheduled for any dates in 2001 that you desire as long as the trip commences after the due date of this challenge.

Plan on two meals per day. You may eat your meals inside or outside of WDW or have groceries delivered, but prices must be verifiable (use online menus,etc) and transportation cost must be accounted for. The only discounts you may use are those for codes in which everyone can qualify (no state codes) and online printable coupons.

Fill in the additional 21/2 days with activities with verifiable prices. If you want to say you spent the entire day in your resort's pool for free that's fine, but keep in mind that voters will be instructed to consider: a). how close you were able to get to the target budget and b). your trips "quality and fun" factors. Some list members may feel accommodations are an important "quality factor" while others will feel that excess money is better spent on quality meals or fun activities. It will be your job to deduce what would be the most appealing vacation for this price to a majority of list members.

Your challenge should be submitted as a worksheet listing prices for all of the vacation components listed above and the urls where the prices, discounts, and codes can be verified, as well as the date of your trip. And speaking of dates, please be mindful that activities you choose, actually occur during your chosen date (i.e., you couldn't go to E ticket night in December). You do not have to list activities that will take place in the parks, other than those that will cost money in addition to park admission (i.e. park tours, meals, snacks, souvenirs). This is more about cost than itinerary.
