mskani,
Camryn is right at 43 inches. She is really tall for her age. That combined with she usually wore tennis shoes and she did not have a problem getting on any ride that she wanted to ride. We always told her what to expect and would tell her that she did not have to ride any ride that she didn't want to. She was a real trooper though and all along she had been telling us that she wanted to ride and do everything.
As far as percentage of the total budget (by total I mean air, hotel, tickets, souvenirs, etc...) the meal budget came to around 25%. That was at least the plan. Even at home we consider eating out entertainment and try to make it something special. We generally don't hit the fast food places, but enjoy more sit down meals. If I have to pay for it, I want to be waited on. We knew that meals were going to take a large hit in the budget, but we had planned for that. Most days I planned for $175.00 in meals for 5 people. Devon really likes to eat and it's usually not just the cheap stuff either. The days that I had special meals planned (Hoop-Dee-Doo) I knew that our expenses would be higher and planned more food dollars for those days. Now when we were actually there, we were pretty much consistently under budget. We generally spent less on breakfast than what I budgeted. Since we were running under, we added Crystal Palace to our list as well as 'Ohana's as places to eat. Still we ended up $375.00 under budget for meals over the 11 day period.
