Saving up for the experience of a life time.

I am starting to save up for if I get through for the 2008 summer programme. I was just wondreing how much people saved up/spent on getting everything sorted (inc visa, flights, staying over there etc) ???

 

So far ive spent about £770 and thats not inlcuding medical insurance, and i then need spending money! So it aint cheap, id say roughly a grand in all including spending money for the first few weeks, its a lot but i think it will be worth it! ;D

 

well, I just can speak for all German´s . For flight, Visa, rental car (for the first day) hotel stay at comfort inn Buena vista ( cause the nonstop flight is 1 day earlier than start working for wdw), insurance

total 374,50 Euro

So it also can be very cheap !! ;D

 

how much have you had to spend on medical insurance? If I need to raise that much I had better start asap then. £1000 is an awful lot of money but it should be ok to save for if I don't go mad in the next year.

 

I've saved up about 3000 Euro's (2000 pounds) so far... should be able to save up another 1500 Euro's (1000 pounds) over the next 3 months or so...

So moneywise I should be ok, now I just have to get Jason/Yummy Jobs to let me go to Disney.

 

yeah heidi im the same although just starting 2 save

 

that is around what I am hoping to save up though if I get more than that I am going to look at getting a night at the Contemporary resort the night before I have to go and book in etc. However that will only happen if I save approxiamtely £2000 which I don't think is that likely to happen ;D

 

yikes! how much is medical insurance for the year programme?

 

we only have to have 4 months worth at about 100 dollars (for the basic cover). After that we pay through our pay cheque for disney's insurance. if you don't want that you can just buy a year's worth in advance though.

 

weve got pretty lucky our university is putting all its placement ppl on its own insurance! which really helps me out!

ive got all my dollars ready, ordered some more clothes from the net. . .just need to make sure i dont spend into any of the tuition fees!

including flight, visa/train to london, dollars and other little costs id say just under £1000 is a pretty even figure as to how much the whole thing costs, though if your doing the academic program like me theres an extra $2400 tuition (half if its for summer i think)
