Should I budget at least $3k just on food and excursions or does the number look more like $5k - $6k ?
I am a Diamond member (until March 2018) but will still be Gold status afterward and can still enjoy the breakfast.
Your budget will depend on the sort of experience you want to have. I would have thought a sensible budget would be between $7k and $10k including the seaplane transfers.
You can spend a lot less than this but then I think you miss some of the real positives of CR.
