About $870 to $1,660 per person for 7 nights, 4 park days, before flights. That's an illustrative estimate for 16 people in a ChampionsGate vacation home. Tickets are the biggest line, not the house. Here's the math so you can swap in your own numbers.
"How much is this going to cost?" is the first question in every group chat. Usually followed by silence.
Short answer: about $870 to $1,660 per person for 7 nights, 4 park days, before flights. That's an illustrative estimate for 16 people in a ChampionsGate vacation home. Tickets are the biggest line, not the house. Here's the math so you can swap in your own numbers.
The sample group
- 10 adults, 6 kids (ages 3 to 12)
- 7 nights at SuperVilla
- 4 Disney park days, 3 rest/pool days
- 2 minivans
- Cooking most breakfasts and dinners

| Cleaning + tax (est.) | ~$500 | ~$1,500 | Rough generic estimate, not SuperVilla's actual fee; your real number is in the booking total |
| Pool heat (winter) | $0 | $245 | $35/day, Oct–Mar |
| BBQ grill | $0 | $50 | Per stay |
| Disney tickets, 4-day (16) | ~$7,000 | ~$9,600 | Estimate, varies by date |

Everything except SuperVilla's rates and add-ons is an estimate. Tickets especially. Price your actual dates on Disney's site before you send this to the group chat. The $500 security deposit is collected 2 days before arrival. It's not a fee, so it's not in the totals.
Where the money actually goes
Look at that table again. Tickets are the biggest line, not lodging. For most big groups, tickets cost more than the house.
That's why the house is where you save. Split $1,109 a night (SuperVilla's top rate) across 16 and it's about $69 a person. At the lowest rate it's about $18.
Food is the other big lever. Breakfast for 16 at a park restaurant can run hundreds of dollars. At home it's eggs, pancakes, and coffee from the coffee bar. The kitchen has 2 full fridges and seats 17.
Five ways to cut the total
- Do fewer park days. Four days instead of five saves real money per person, and rest days aren't boring here. The resort pools are free.
- Travel in a slow week. Lodging and tickets both drop. Late January and early December are usually quieter.
- Pack park lunches and snacks. Disney allows outside food and non-alcoholic drinks. No glass, no loose ice, and the cooler has to fit 24 x 15 x 18 inches. Sandwiches made at the counter at 7 a.m. are the cheapest meal of your trip.
- Skip what's already in the house. Strollers, cribs, toys. See the toddler packing list.
- Split it fairly up front. The three-families guide covers who sleeps where.
How to split it
Most groups split lodging by family or by bedroom, and everyone pays their own tickets. Groceries go into a shared pot. Write it down before anyone books. Future you will be grateful.
What guests say about the house part
The lodging is the part you'll remember, too. Kristen's kids are "already asking to come back!" And Jon wrote, "Angela was EASILY the best Airbnb host we have ever had!!" More on the reviews page.
Lock down the house first. Then build the rest around it.
