May 1-10, 2 adults, 1 child, 1 infant
9 nights at Fort Wilderness Cabins with Spring discount: $2777
8 days of Water Park Fun & More tickets: $1100
Gas for driving to and from the park and within the park: $125
Food and souvenirs: $1250 (this category is by far the hardest to estimate but we're not big souvenir buyers and we eat relatively cheaply; estimating $125 per day roughly including travel days)
Total expenses: $5250
Subtract $200 for a disney gift card we got for opening a disney visa; subtract another $50 for a disney visa rewards card)
Total: $5000 or roughly $500 a day.
Not bad for a family of four for total entertainment, food, transportation, and nice lodgings.

OKW 4/1 - 4/5 1 bedroom: $2142
PH tickets (3 adults, 1 child), 5 days: $1348 (UT + Mousesavers disc.)
So thus far, $3490
We have about a 600 mile drive, and this doesn't include gas. We're also leaving earlier than planned, taking our time so the kids can see more of FL than just Orlando (I grew up going to FL most summers, so there's a lot of nostalgia for me). There will be two extra hotel nights not accounted for yet, plus food and extras.

2/17-2/23
1 Night at All Stars $153
5 Nights at Swan $100 total for resort fee, used SPG points)
Airfare 5 Tickets $0 (used Delta Points)
Using 40% of 10 day no expiration park hopper $1400
Total $1653 excluding Meals
I highly recommend signing up for an SPG Amex card. First year is no fee and after a couple of purchases you can get enough for 5 free nights at Swan or Dolphin. Plus, you can link SPG with Delta. I travel alot for work and always use Delta for air and SPG for hotel.
