I'm trying to get to my first WM ever but I need a little bit of help

Been wanting to go since 1993 & right now is the best chance I'm ever going to get at going, Orlando is the cheapest place for me to get to but it is still VERY expensive so far going through everything that you can do for WM weekend, Disney & Orlando, flight, food & hotel, merch, transportation, booze ect. I've already cut out a long list of events that I am not going to be able to afford & it's still very expensive.

For anybody who has been there and has experience organising their weekend do you think you may be able to help me cut back the price a little more?

...So far this is what I have cut out of my plans, and it hurt big time but I had no choice if I wanted to keep the others:

Extras (for 2 ppl):

WrestleCon Kick-Off Party, hosted by Ric Flair, Sting & JR - $65
WaleMania Concert and Party - $130 (or more)
Smackdown - $150
Mania Pub Crawl - Booze & Admission fees - $150
WrestleCon Bus Ride To Mania - $100
WrestleProLive Show - $40
WrestleCon Super Show - $65
WrestleCon Women's Super Show - $40
CZW Best Of The Best - $40
Wrestling Revolver Show - $80
RevProLive Wresling - $60
WrestleCon Mania Moments - $160
TNA Impact - $150 (This one didn't hurt that bad)


After all of that removed the following will still cost $5200:

$1600 - Flight + Hotel
$600 - Food & Drink
$500 - Merch (really want some autographed stuff, title ect)
$150 - RAW
$200 - Hall Of Fame
$230 - WWE Axxes
$100 - ROH: SuperCard Of Honor
$100 - Evolve
$65 - WrestleCon
$150 - NXT TakeOver
$800 - WrestleMania 33
$700 - Disney & Universal

....Disney or Universal can't be cut out because that's why my GF is going all together. I may have to cut back on the merch, food & drink,ROH And even NXT Take Over which really sucks :( but that would leave me with something like:

$800 - WrestleMania 33
$150 - RAW
$200 - Hall Of Fame
$230 - WWE Axxess
$65 - WrestleCon
$1600 - Flight + Hotel
$450 Food & Drink
$700 - Disney & Universal (Can't be cut)

Total: $4200

Still about $1200 too much for me but I really don't want to cut any of that stuff down... WrestleCon looks awesome, Obviously need Axxess & HOF, already cut SD you KNOW I gotta go to Raw.....

Do I have any of the prices wrong at all for those of you that have experienced it?

Please help :( I really want to go & have been waiting for over 20 years, Thanks guys.

Drop ROH. They are running outside of Orlando so you will have to arrange and pay for travel to and from that show as well.

I'd also drop the Hall of Fame. You get to see the Hall of famers at Wrestlemania so there's really no need to go to the ceremony.

Do you need to go to access every day?

Have you used tripadviser or expedia to look at cheaper flights and hotels. Or Air Bnbs?

I actually found a really good price on flight & hotel... so that prob won't get any lower. Appreciate your help btw.... what is Air bnbs?

Also... I'm not sure how axxess works... isn't it different people each day? or the same? ...What if they have like HBK one day but Undertaker the next, then it's like, you have to go to both pretty much lol

So you want it to be $3,000 I'm going to guess? if thats the case then that's gonna be tough.

Because if I'm right. these are the ones that you can't cut no matter what:
$1600 - Flight + Hotel (you have to get there somehow!)
$450 Food & Drink (you have to eat as well!)
$700 - Disney & Universal
$800 - WrestleMania 33

So....stuff you need is still going to go over that price since it's going to be around 3,550. Yea, I got no idea here. Sorry.

SHIT.... so it appears you are right sir, lol aaw this sucks :(

I do have the money in the bank, it's just not for spending is all. May have to cut back on food & booze.... the rest is pretty much essential.

I guess I'm going to have to go over my budget a little bit

Who needs a nice hotel? Sleep in a slum and go out all day.
