If you go online to WDW.com though you can usually estimate the price of hotel/park hopper/dining plan and you can rough estimate the airline on their websites.

Have fun planning.

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb If you go near the end of the Summer you will very likely run into the free dining offer, it's usually announced in April or May. If can get in on that, I'd say you can get there and stay in a deluxe room for 6k or less. Mousesavers will keep you up to date on announcements like that, so be sure to sign up for the news letter!

Originally Posted By finallygoing You also may want to consider getting the park hopper for less than 7 days and spend a little time doing some side trips, like Cape Canaverale, the beach, Univeral, Seaworld etc. You will find there is a lot more to do in the Orlando area than Disney. If there is anyway you can come before or after the summer, try to do it. It's HOT in FL that time of year and the crowds are heavy. Also avoid any holidays if you can. Planning your first trip to WDW can become a second job, there's so much info out there. So good luck.

Originally Posted By A Happy Haunt We've been there in the beginning of June & it's VERY hot but, the Parks are open late so we take a pool break mid-day so, it works out well.
Originally Posted By disney pete i went late june early july once never again hot hot lots of afternoon downpours and parks are rammed,but if they are the only dates ya have just go and enjoy
Originally Posted By jsnelk Is there any time in the summer to go where it won't be super hot and muggy. We can only go once school is out which is the 3rd week in June.
