Sure, all those things COULD cost that, and also could have cost that in 1996. However, even today they can all cost way less:

You can get a Nissan Versa or a Mitsubishi Mirage for under $20k.

You can take a 7 night Caribbean cruise for two for $1,500 and that is with taxes, port fees, and gratuity. Add $1,000 for air fare for two and you're still way under.

Four 7 day park hopper passes to Disney are $ 3,479.36 plus 7 nights in a the cheapest Disney hotel adds another $2,251.15.

A Red's Tavern Double with all you can eat fries at Red Robin is $9.99.

I can get a kids meal at Culvers with cheeseburger, fries, drink, and a custard for $7.
