The Formula
Formula Reference: Disney World Trip Budget Calculator
Input variables:
numberOfAdultsInput — Adults & Teens (Age 10+)
numberOfChildrenInput — Children (Age 3–9)
parkDaysCountInput — Theme Park Ticket Days
resortTierSelect — Disney Resort Hotel Tier
diningStyleSelect — Food & Dining Strategy
Computed outputs:
totalDisneyTripBudgetDollars — Total Estimated Vacation Budget
costPerPersonDollars — Cost per Person
costPerDayDollars — Daily Average Cost
parkTicketsTotalCost — Theme Park Tickets Total
resortLodgingTotalCost — Disney Resort Lodging Total
Mathematical relationships extracted from calculation logic:
totalParty = adults + kids
hotelNights = parkDays + 1; // standard stay = park days + 1 night
totalLodging = hotelNights * nightlyRate
childTicketPerDay = adultTicketPerDay - 6.0
totalTickets = (adults adultTicketPerDay parkDays) + (kids childTicketPerDay parkDays)
totalLightningLane = totalParty llPerPersonDay parkDays
totalDining = ((adults adultFoodPerDay) + (kids childFoodPerDay)) * parkDays
totalSouvenirs = totalParty * 75.0
totalBudget = totalLodging + totalTickets + totalLightningLane + totalDining + flightsCost + totalSouvenirs
costPerPerson = totalBudget / totalParty
Reference constants:
nightlyRate = 340.0
adultFoodPerDay = 95.0
childFoodPerDay = 50.0
