Florida on a Budget

Total Cost for Two:​ ¥43,985 RMB​ (Approx. $6,150 USD) 🎉 Here’s a detailed breakdown of how we did it, with all costs in ✈️ 1. Flights & Insurance Cost: ¥13,200​ To save money, we opted for flights departing from South Korea with layovers. Outbound:​ Beijing → Seoul → San Francisco → Orlando Return:​ Miami → San Francisco → Seoul → Tianjin This included travel insurance!✈️🧳 🏨 2. Accommodation Cost: ¥6,800​ Orlando:​ 5 nights at a resort = ¥4,900 Miami:​ 2 nights at a hotel = ¥1,900 We chose value-for-money options rather than luxury brands.🏝️ 📱 3. Communication Cost: ¥630​ 3 Local SIM Cards = ¥310 1 Portable WiFi Rental = ¥320 Essential for navigation and staying connected without roaming charges! 🍔 4. Food & Drinks Cost: ¥3,500​ We were strategic to keep costs low! Grocery Shopping:​ 🛒 We bought food from Walmart​ and ate it over several days. (A box of strawberries for ¥50 was acceptable!). Theme Parks:​ We brought our own drinks and pre-made burgers instead of buying expensive park food. Fast Food:​ We ate at Burger King, McDonald's, and KFC, using loyalty cards and deals. Water:​ We carried reusable bottles and refilled them with free water everywhere. 💧 Food Courts:​ We ate at local food halls (like "Yahui") which had brands like Five Guys and didn't require tipping! Result: We ate well for under ¥250 per day for two people!🥪🍓 🚗 5. Transportation Cost: ¥3,800​ Orlando:​ Mostly used ride-sharing (Lyft/Uber) with pre-paid cards. Miami:​ Used a mix of metro, bus, and occasional taxis. Between Cities:​ Took a long-distance bus from Orlando to Miami. 🚌 This was one of our biggest expenses, but necessary without a rental car.🚖 🚢 6. 3-Day Bahamas Cruise Cost: ¥7,931​ This included: Base fare for an interior cabin WiFi package Canned beverage package Service charges/gratuities Tip: The beverage package is optional! Free lemonade, coffee, and water are available. WiFi can also be skipped if you want to truly disconnect.🛳️☀️ 🛍️ 7. Souvenirs Cost: ¥2,400​ Most souvenirs are "Made in China," so we only bought cheap keychains and fridge magnets. Shopped at discount stores like Ross​ for deals (e.g., Levi's jeans for ¥200 each!). Bought Orlando Magic NBA gear (jersey + hat). Also included 4 packs of Esse cigarettes​ bought at Seoul Airport. 🚬 Be selective and avoid tourist traps!🎁 🎡 8. Entertainment & Activities Cost: ¥10,154​ This was our splurge category! Walt Disney World:​ 3-day Park Hopper tickets for two = ¥7,400​ 🏰✨ Zoo:​ Fast Pass for two = ¥250 SeaWorld:​ Tickets for two = ¥250 NBA Game:​ Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics tickets + bag storage = ¥2,000​ 🏀 Prioritize what you really want to do!🎢 📦 9. Miscellaneous Cost: ¥570​ Luggage storage in Miami & San Francisco (~¥140 per location for two large suitcases) = ¥280 Tianjin to Beijing high-speed train = ¥110 Beijing South Station to Capital Airport = ¥70 💡 Crucial Money-Saving Tips (The Real Secret!) Reuse Existing Gear:​ ♻️ We did NOT​ include the cost of travel essentials because we reused items from previous trips to Nordic countries and Japan. This included: Disposable underwear & socks Toiletries & cosmetics Swimwear & towels General clothing If we had to buy these new, the budget would have been blown! Visa Timing:​ 🛂 Our U.S. visas were issued back in 2019. We didn't have to pay the ~$185 USD per person visa application fee for this trip, which is a huge saving! Plan Ahead:​ Booking flights with layovers and purchasing theme park tickets in advance saved us a significant amount. Conclusion:​ It's totally possible to have an amazing two-week Florida adventure for two people without breaking the bank! With smart planning, strategic spending, and reusing existing supplies, you can keep the total cost under ¥50,000. #US #Florida #Miami
