A few years ago I flew Delta for 256.00 round trip, I think that was 2005 or 2006. Now I will be flying Delta for 259.00 one way to Florida, and I'm still waiting for southwest to release more dates so I can book a one way out of Florida.
(but I wouldn't cry if I couldn't leave Florida :lol
This will be my 7th time going to the Vacation Kingdom and what hits me hard is that I can only take advantage of the one day one park feature because WDW is something in addition to the other things I do for my Christmas-New Years Break.
The only time I ever stayed at the Vacation Kingdom was in 1996 for 5 nights 6 days and it was at the newly opened Boardwalk.
Since then I have been staying off property for 2 nights 3 days or with friends and family nearby.
It is enough as it is to pay over 70.00 for one park, and that's not even making it a park hopper.
It really is a risk to use up that 70.00 but luckily I tend to go in January when the weather is good, and the crowds are low.
Then you factor in souveigners, food, beverage, etc
This 7th trip will probably be my last trip for a while due to various factors, and I am working out on trying to stay at the Contemporary, heck I don't care if I have to get a garden room, I know the theme park view is too much for a room I will hardly be in, and the bay lake view might be reasonable for January.
But yes, all little dollar amounts here and there are drastically adding up, because everything is going up and these companies sadly have to raise prices.
yeah and (on a technicality) we're not in a recession :hammer:
