Senior Week Budget: How to Plan What a Week in Myrtle Beach Costs

The easiest way to budget Senior Week in Myrtle Beach is to split it into six categories and lock in the fixed costs first. Your party nights are the one line you can price exactly today: a Myrtle Beach Club Card covers your week’s theme parties for $90 (Weeks 1 and 2) or $70 (Weeks 3 and 4).

Everything else (your rental share, gas or flights, food) depends on your crew and your plans. So instead of guessing at numbers, this guide gives you a worksheet to fill in with your group, plus the real ticket math so you know where the savings are.

Step 1: Price your party nights (the part we can do for you)

Every Senior Week 2027 theme party can be bought as a single ticket, or you can get one Club Card that covers all the theme parties in your week. Here’s how the two compare, using the current single-ticket General Admission prices on this site (before fees):

Week	Theme parties	Single tickets added up	Club Card
Week 1 · May 31 – June 4	Pardi Gras, Aqua, LIT, Neon Splash	$175	$90
Week 2 · June 5 – 11	Jersey Night, Pardi Gras, Aqua, LIT, Snowfall	$210	$90
Week 3 · June 12 – 18	Snowfall, LIT, Aqua	$120	$70
Week 4 · June 19 – 25	Snowfall, LIT, Aqua	$120	$70

A service fee is added at checkout. Prices can change, so check the current price on the Get My Card page before you build your budget. Want to see which party falls on which night? It’s all on the Senior Week 2027 schedule.

Step 2: Fill in the rest with your crew

These are the categories that make up a Senior Week trip. Fill in your own numbers. They depend on how many people are splitting costs, how far you’re traveling and how you like to eat.

1. Lodging (usually the biggest line)

• Total rental cost ÷ number of people = your share
• Your share of any cleaning fee, booking fee or taxes
• Your share of the security deposit (often refunded, but you need it up front)

2. Getting there

• Driving: gas for the round trip ÷ riders, plus parking at your rental
• Flying: round-trip airfare, checked-bag fees, and a ride from Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR)

Not sure which makes sense? Compare in flying vs driving to Myrtle Beach.

3. Getting around

• Rideshare or taxi rides to party nights and back
• Bus fare if you use Coast RTA public transit
• Golf cart or bike rentals if your group wants them

4. Party nights

• Your Club Card ($90 or $70, from the table above) plus the checkout fee
• Concert ticket placeholder
• Theme outfits and accessories (glow gear, all-white, Pardi Gras colors)

5. Food

• Groceries for breakfasts and snacks at the rental (split with the crew)
• Lunches and dinners out
• Late-night food after the parties

6. Daytime fun and the surprises

• Watersports, rides or attractions
• Souvenirs and photos
• A buffer for the stuff nobody plans for: a lost charger, a forgotten swimsuit, an extra ride home

Have the money talk early

The fastest way to start drama on Senior Week is finding out mid-week that someone planned on a totally different budget. Agree on a few things before you book:

• Roughly how much everyone wants to spend in total
• Which nights the whole group is going out
• How shared costs (groceries, rides, rental extras) get split
• Who tracks payments and when they’re due

Where the savings actually are

• The Club Card. If you’re going to more than two theme parties in your week, the card beats single tickets every time (see the table).
• Cardholder discounts. Your card also unlocks deals at 20+ local Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach spots: pizza, watersports, golf cart rentals, attractions and more. See them all on the Senior Week discounts page.
• Splitting groceries. One group grocery run on day one beats ordering every meal.
• Free card delivery. In Myrtle Beach or Surfside, call 888-523-9076 and the card comes to you, so you don’t spend a ride getting it.

Where not to cut corners

• Safe rides at night. Budget real money for getting home. It’s not the place to save.
• Sunscreen and water. Cheap, and they keep you from losing a whole day.
• Refund timing. Cards are refundable through the day before your week starts: May 30 for Week 1, June 4 for Week 2, June 11 for Week 3 and June 18 for Week 4. Lock in your week early and you still have flexibility.
