Ok, I just priced a moderate for my travel dates. Family of 4, 8 nights, 9 day tickets with park hopper plus, staying at POR (I would have selected CBR but the standard rooms were all sold out). I am at $5647.52 before I add any dining or plane tickets (or fuel + hotel on the way + parking). Yes, I am able to go to Europe for this same time frame with everything included for similar or less than the Disney vacation that doesn't include food or travel to and from. If I want to add the dining plan, I'm at $7763.57, and I still haven't included my travel there and back.
This past summer we visited Disneyland Paris for not much more than a trip to WDW runs the 6 of us. Lodging at the Newport Bay Resort staying Compass Club Family Suite which included park tickets, breakfast, and afternoon snacks was about $4000. Our airfare was roughly another $4800. We ate counter service for lunch and dinner. Our trip cost us roughly $10k for over a week in Paris.
When I look at a comparable room at the Boardwalk for early June with hopper tickets it's running over $8700 without food, tax, or airfare included!
