My daughter and I did a week at WDW every year from 2007 to 2015. Never stayed higher than a moderate, usually Pop Century, always during the Free Dining promotion (and that was at least twice the cost benefit of the room discount I gave up for it), 7 day park hopper passes. With airfare, I don’t think we ever spent over $1500 total for that week. People throw out high end numbers that are not even remotely close to what a vacation might cost.
