Re: Tonight on the Travel Channel...

I saw this a few weeks ago but I'm going to watch it again tonight, I need a Disney fix.

I liked the show but didn't think it did a very good job of showing how a family really could do Disney cheap.

Well, they probably aren't as savvy as all of us are. They don't know all the tricks we know, and guess what, I'm not telling.

Re: Tonight on the Travel Channel...

I just looked at my receipts for the weekend. I got the rooms for $119 X 3 nights. With taxes and whatnot, $402 for the weekend. I spent $80 on gasoline. Even with the LeCellier lunch, I only spent $280 for food. I have my seasonal passes, so, this trip cost me less than $800 total for 4 days, 3 nights.

I thought we were supposed to spend only a dime!

Re: Tonight on the Travel Channel...

I watched....just to see WDW..I knew everything...actually could have saved all family more money and got more out of their trip for them, so I didn't learn anything from the program at all. It was cool to see WDW however.

I agree. I watched it earlier today and didn't learn anything, plus I thought of lots of other ways they could have saved money. Although, I have to say that I enjoyed the whole segment about Fort Wilderness. Staying in the cabins may have worked for their family, however it is among the some of the most expensive rooms on property.

I enjoyed it nonetheless, and will try to watch the others as well.
