How much does the Dreamaker Basic cost?

[AkiraRaptor]

I'm tring to get the actual cost of the Dreamaker Basic per night, per person. I know it changes a bit depending upon the resort you choose, but there must be an average set cost somewhere.

I know the extra plans add on to this (Silver $68, Gold $138, Platinum $199) but I want to figure out the real cost of my trip, and I'm missing this number.

So far I'm coming up with between $55-$112 a night per person. Thats to big of a difference to work with.

Any help??

In october i am going for six nights at the carribean resort. Basic plan, non smoking room, normal view, two adults. Im getting the ultimate park hopper tickets included. with no discounts at the moment its costing if i do it thru disney travel. $1,730
Im driving down no flights or rental car.

Ok, that helps.

I used Disney's site to help work out the number. I came up with a $1699.90 price for room and DM basic, I don't know why it was less. It was $963.36 for room only. So it looks like DM costs about $61.38 per person per night.

I did this for AKL, and came in at $61.44. Close enough, that could be because of slight taxing differences between the resorts. I know AKL is in a different tax area.

We are staying for 7 nights, so I used the same technique, and the number comes in at $57.21 a night. This makes sence since the ticket prices should be less (discounted) the more days you add. So we would be paying $400.41 per person for our length of stay passes (8 days/7 nights) that normaly cost $358 (or even cheaper if you pre-pay). But the plan does come with a few free items. So it comes out about even or close to it. So I think my numbers are close.

So to recap, it looks like for a 6 night stay the DM cost $61, and for a 7 night stay $57. I think I will go with these numbers unless someone sees a flaw in my logic here.

So the real cost of a 7 night stay of Silver is $124 per person per night, and Gold is $196.

Thanks for your help.

:lol: :hammer: Yea, I know...but I was working out my schedules in Excel today, and started getting into the numbers game. I just couldn't help myself from working this stuff out.

I did figure out that if you got the gold package, ate aprox $75 of food a day ($20 breakfast, $15 lunch, $40 dinner), and did Circque and 3 tours, the gold still would cost me about $240 more than paying for it myself. (BTW, the silver would cost me about $70)

I'd really like to do the gold, it was nice on the silver having everything pre-paid. I didn't have to worry about money on the whole trip. Got what I wanted, never thought about price, not even once. But I'm having a hard time working out the worth on this one. I guess if I do some of the free water sports activites...I haven't rode on a water mouse since I was about 15..are they still super slow, or are they like real jet skis now?

I hate golf, so that's out, not a horse back rider. I could use the gym at night or the morning. I just can't see wasting away $240 x 2 people on gold.

I'll keep crunching the numbers....I'll report back Yellow Shoes, just for you... :lol:
