Are you including spending money? Last November, we felt that the cost of food and drink had increased significantly since our previous stay. It's perhaps not immediately obvious, but whereas we'd normally spend an average of around $100 a day, it was probably closer to $200 this time (admittedly we like to drink!). Even though the cost of eating out is cheaper over there, the fact that you do it twice a day for the duration of your holiday makes it the single most expensive outlay. Even with what we kid ourselves is free accommodation (and clearly it isn't, even though not everyone has a loan), a Florida holiday is a major financial commitment. There are just two of us now, but for a two week trip, we spend at least £6000, not including annual dues.
Ours would be similar.
I find that now we have DVC I do see the accommodation as free and therefore find myself using it to justify my other indulgences. (Cruise, PE flights, upgraded cars, nicer restaurants etc).

where do they order groceries from? I am thinking of doing it without car.
