I have been doing my planning for an upcoming trip in 2025 or 2026 and decided to start watching the way the prices increase year to year. Here is what I found in just 1 year for 1 person!
On July 17, 2020
1 PERSON: 3 DAY DISNEY, AMTRAK, CLARIONLBV, CAR...$1291.58
2 PERSON: SAME AS ABOVE...$1885.62/$942.81-PERSON($47.15- 20 month savings)
On April 8, 2021
1 PERSON: 3 DAY DISNEY, AMTRAK, CLARIONLBV, CAR...$1391.38(an increase of $99.80)
2 PERSON: SAME AS ABOVE...$1995.79/$997.90-PERSON($49.90- 20 month savings)
On July 11, 2021
1 PERSON: 3 DAY DISNEY, AMTRAK, CLARIONLBV, CAR...$1824.23(price increase of $532.65 since last July and $432.85 since April 2021)
2 PERSON: SAME AS ABOVE...$2492.22/$1246.11- PERSON($62.31- 20 month savings)
For one person, its a little high, but you can see if 2 share the total costs it is more manageable for both.
My 20 Month Savings Plan explained...
**I will plan my vacation for 1-2 years out
**I give my self 20 months to save the trips costs
****THIS IS IMPORTANT PART OF THE PLANNING: I give my plan a 3 month pay off date...
For example...
My trip is scheduled for September 10-18...my PAID IN FULL DATE IS JULY 1st!
**This way if something comes up in those 20 months that throws a wrench into your savings(an unexpected bill), this give you a few months to make sure your trip is paid for on time BEFORE September!
Just my way to save for a trip!
Maybe it will help someone
Or maybe you can offer more advice to my plan for others!
