Formula
Daily Park Cost = (Adults × Adult Ticket Price) + (Children × Adult Ticket Price × (1 − Child Discount %))
Daily Meals = Total People × Meal Budget per Person
Daily Hotel = Nightly Room Rate (flat, per group)
Daily Transport = Selected transport option (flat, per group)
Daily Extras = Total People × Extras per Person
Total Daily Spend (Group) = Daily Park + Daily Meals + Daily Hotel + Daily Transport + Daily Extras
Per Person Daily Average = Total Daily Spend ÷ Total People
Assumptions & References

- Child ticket discount of ~20% reflects Universal Orlando pricing for ages 3–9. Disney World charges the same price for guests 3+; set discount to 0% for Disney-only trips.
- Meal budgets are per-person daily averages: Budget (~$45) assumes quick-service and grocery items; Moderate (~$85) mixes table and quick-service; Upscale (~$150) assumes mostly table-service or character dining. Source: WDW Magazine / TouringPlans 2024 averages.
- Hotel rates reflect the nightly room cost for the entire party (not per person). Orlando average hotel rates range from ~$100 (budget off-site) to $400+ (deluxe resort). Source: STR / Visit Orlando 2024.
- Transportation: Resort shuttle/walking assumes on-site hotel with complimentary transport. Rideshare estimate (~$25/day) based on 2–3 short Uber/Lyft trips. Rental car estimate (~$45/day) includes average rental + theme park parking fees (~$30/day at Disney/Universal).
- Extras include Lightning Lane / Genie+ (~$15–$35/person/day at Disney), souvenirs, sunscreen, gratuities, and incidentals.
