For us Disney is very expensive because.....

1. DS is going into HS and we can no longer take him out of school...so there go the really good room only deals.

2. Anytime school is out for us, the airfare is crazy...ie over $3000 rt for three during President's week ( but that's another issue....my anger at JetBlue and so now we drive)

3. We like to stay at the GF...it would be easier financially if I didn't feel the need to stay here...we may split between a value and the GF next time.

All that being said...compared to other vacations we have taken, for us we find that we get the most value for our money by going to Disney. It is the vacation destination we most enjoy, so it is worth the money to us.

Sorry for the rant.....
