I want to take a Walt Disney World Backstage Tour (Official Disney Page).

The cost of the tour is $199, is 7 hours long and shows you the entire park ‘behind the scenes.’ It includes everything you would need during the day (lunch, bottled water, etc) and takes you around The Magic Kingdom and Epcot.

I can get May middle-of-week plane tickets and hotel for 2 nights in Orlando for $313 out of Midway using Hotwire or $313.82 out of Midway using Southwest.com and the hotel that Hotwire says costs the least those nights.

$263 out of Milwaukee though, including flight and hotel. And taxes. And Hotwire is a Midwest Airlines partner, so I could end up on one of their flights (it doesn’t tell you the airline.) Or I could pay $15 extra and know that it is Delta and goes through Atlanta. So lets just figure $278 if I know the flight I want.

Add on the $200 and I am up to $478. Figure $50 in food (this is abnormally low, but if breakfast is offered free at the hotel and I get a free lunch as part of the tour) and it ends up being a $528 trip out of Milwaukee or $563 out of Chicago-Midway

For a 7 hour tour.

Meh, Disney World isn’t going anywhere. Lets go back to Vegas! (which is also probably not going anywhere, if you don’t count the yearly hotel implosion)
