I spent $6,000 taking my family to Disney for 2 nights. A Costco deal helped us cut costs, but we'd book differently next time.

• I went to Disneyland with my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter for over $6,000.
• We got a deal on tickets and our two-bedroom Disneyland Hotel suite through Costco Travel.
• The trip was worth every penny, but I'd add an extra day to our itinerary next time.

In December, my son, his wife, and our 2-1/2-year-old granddaughter met my wife and me in California so we could all go to Disneyland.
