Would I be the a*sh*le if I refuse to pay for a family trip I had zero input on and was told about after everything was already booked?

Um, what?! Who wants to join a vacation, 6 hours away, a few days after it's started? That seems like a waste of vacation time and PTO, no?
This is also another good reason why this person could bail out of the whole thing. It's just deeply uncool to expect someone to commit wholeheartedly to something they know nothing about, and cannot even reach easily. It's clear she wasn't a consideration while planning this. Auntie has made it pretty clear that this was more of a vacation for one family, rather than a vacay for the whole extended family.

So this is unreasonable, obviously
She clearly did some kind of mental math, assuming that all of these families would show up.Since she didn't ask, there may be a lot of family members who aren't going to join! And now this Aunt is going to be stuck paying a lot extra… Or she's going to start a full-family feud by insisting people pay to not go on vacation. What a mess!

Well no! You wouldn't be wrong to sit it out.
This is one of those times you could just sit back quietly and let things play out. The aunt is going to have to explain why she did this — rather impolitely leaving family members out of the planning — and why she's now demanding that her family subsidize her vacation. Be so serious, Auntie. You won't get $300 a family just for your own vacation… at least not without making a whole bunch of enemies.
