Recognize this place?

Or this?

What about this?

My dream is to take my kids on an amazing Disney World vacation.  We've taken them to Disneyland, but truly, if you've never been to Disney World, you need to go.  It's much much more amazing than Disneyland (albeit fun, just not the same).  So, for fun, I pretended that money was no object and priced out the most amazing villa at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (shown above), then moved onto park tickets and "extras".  This is how the mock spreadsheet turned out:

7 nights Villa (3 bedrooms, full kitchen & washer/dryer) with Savannah view (giraffes and elephants roaming outside our window = AWESOME!: $16.023.43

7 day Magic Your Way package (tickets/Dining): $4,690.00

*extra*Nascar Experience: $4,198.00 (adults only-so 2 tickets)

*extra* La Nouba: $510.16

*extra* Souvenirs: $1000.00 (purely a guess as I don't for sure know) 

TOTAL: $26,421.59+ (I say, "plus" only because souvenirs could go well beyond the $1000).

That price is a little scary don't you think?  If I was made of money, no big deal but I guarantee Mr. D would say, "  ".  Yeah, nothing but a concerned eye would flash my way as if to say, "you're dreaming lady".

I've obviously spent many a vacations at Disney World and know how to book a trip like a pro so technically I could get that bill down to a fraction of that price but it's always nice to dream right?
