Food Budget

[andip1967]

Just looking for a bit of feedback with the old food budget.

We are offsite, their are 10 of us, 5 in each party, so looking at the budget for 5.

Brekkies are a must, then maybe a snack, main meal in evenings.

Staying for 14 days in a villa.

Rough guesstimates please, head in the clouds at the mo and cant think straight.

Hi,
Depends what you are doing? Are you in a villa? or hotel room?
If you're in a villa, then eat there most mornings, and you'll save some money. We often buy in a couple of cereals (fruit loops for the kids), some bread, butter, jam, cheese.. that sort of thing. We'd eat in most mornings, and maybe go out for breakfast a couple of times.
Prices for cereals/food to eat in, is comparable with the UK (maybe slightly less). The prices for breakfast can vary.. all you can eat at say Ponderosa..$4.99, but then if you're having a character breakfast at say Crystal Palace (Winnie the Pooh/Tigger), you're looking at $18.99 (adult) and $10.99 (junior).
For lunch, we often buy in cereal bars, fruit, etc.. unless we're eating out. but lunches out can cost between $10+ (chain restaurants) or about $20+ in WDW (somewhere like 50's prime time at MGM) or $30+ in somewhere like Le Cellier (Epcot)
For evening meal, there are so many places (and prices) to choose from...
$10 (ponderosa), $15 (olive garden) and $30-$40 (Epcot)
So, you see, the cost is so variable.. it all depends on what you are doing!
Try and plan your trip so you can estimate a budget to suit your needs.
Hope this helps
