Budget for 3

[Luv Donald Duck]

Hi all!! I was wondering if anyone out there can help me out. Me, my husband and our 7 year old are heading to Disney for 10 days in November. We will usually eat very light for breakfast (poptarts in the room or grab fruit on the go), eat a counter service for lunch and do a nice sit down dinner at supper time. I figured since we are on vacation my husband and I will probably have a drink or 2 with dinner. Of course we will have a couple of snacks through out the day. How much do you think I should budget for food?

Let's see, we usually budget about $90 per day for food and we're similar to you: DH, DS 8 y.o. and myself. We also eat a light breakfast in our room (usually food from Goodings) and trade off with 1 counter service meal and 1 sitdown meal per day. We usually bring light snacks with us, so you may want to add more to cover that.
Any other opinions?

We usually budget 1,000 a week for Food/ souv (and we do not get a ton of souv's) for 4 (2a and 2c). That comes to around $142 a day. I would think you would be safe with a $100, a day. We rarely drink, but at some restaurants the drinks are included (HDDR). So I guess I would recommed a $1000 for 10 days for food only. You could also check out www.allearsnet.com and look for the menu's section to get a better idea. Also I didn't know if you were going to do any character meals or shows (on our last trip we did 1 character meal, 1 show, and the Beirgarten)

I'd do at least $100 a day, if you plan on sit-downs with drinks each night.
I have a teenager & we use about $150 a day for the 3 of us, when we do sitdowns each night. We don't drink, but my son eats more than we do.

snacks purchased in the parks, I'd do a bit more than 100/day. I don't know how much alcoholic drinks are, but I think soda, etc is about 2-2.50 per person.
