i think it's kind of crazy. i'm going down for nye, dec 30 to jan 4. we are staying at pop, got the counter service dining plan, 5 day park hopper and plane tickets and it's costing about $900 per person. can't you go for a longer stay? you don't have to get her park tix since she's under 3 and you can get the counter service dining plan for you and your husband and share the food with her. i'm sure it's the short trip on the plane tix that's throwing the cost over the edge. if you're going to go, make it count and go for a few days. she won't remember if she's there ON her actual birthday.
