That's US dollars right? How on Earth does it cost 7 grand to go. It definitely didn't cost that much in 2018 when I last went.
Not crazy for a vacation with flights and a hotel involved for 4 people for 7 days.
That’s $5k before any tickets to the park.
Typically, on vacation you have to eat out more. That’s about $15 per meal per person per day, excluding breakfast.
Yea, I plan to go again in the next year and in CAD it's about $2500 for flights for four, $2750 for five days of tickets, $1200 offsite accommodations, plus food and local transportation.
There are other ways to go, to stay on park or get package deals but $7000 seems about right for a family of four.
Maybe they have 14 kids. Tickets are around $200 per person per day now though IIRC.
They only need 2 kids for just the tickets alone to be $800/day. That's not including hotel, transportation, food, etc. It's easy to see how 7 days could cost them $7000.
