Ok family of 6 — mom, dad, 13, 11, 7, 5

5 days of park
Two sit downs (Biergarten lunch and Ohana dinner)
Rest shared quick services (probably get 4-5 meals per lunch/dinner)

How much would you allot?

It depends on how much your family eats. Take a look at the menus and do the math.

Very subjective... drinking free water or ordering soda/tea/coffee, order desserts etc.
we’ve had sit down meals for 3 and easily costs almost $200..
grabbing 3 QS ... $60
Ur best best for approximate costs are to CK the menus.
Have a great Visit

Staying Onsite? Offsite? With relative? How many nights?

Flying? Driving? Renting a car?

Menus with prices can be found here:

Don't forget 6.5% tax and tipping at TS restaurants.

Souvenirs? Some people limit them and others go all out. If it's your first trip, you will spend more than someone who is taking their 20th trip.

Park hopping?

So many variables. You could do this trip relatively cheaply or you could drop a bundle of cash on it. I would begin with the Disney World website, put in your dates and the number of people, add the dining plan and tickets just to get a price for that part of the trip. Even if you're not getting the dining plan or buying your tickets from Disney, this would give you a maximum price that you should aim to save. Of course, travel costs and souvenirs would be additional but that's going to be different depending on where you live and how generous you want to be with the budget.

THE good thing about your sit downs, they are set price meals. That definitely helps with planning. However I believe TS prices fluctuate with seasons.

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that CS meals average about $13. That should give you a rough starting point.

Sorry I should say:

This is just food. We have everything settled out and we are regulars. We just normally do the meal plan. We will be eating lunch and dinner in the parks at quick services except the sit downs mentioned in the post

Seems like the sit downs average $13.-15 Then add drinks, do that times the number of QS, ordered and number of days. Add in taxes n tips, then view ur menu for ur sit downs.
I’d just throw aside a 800-1000...

Assuming 2 meals/park day for 10 total meal times (gonna price for 6, so you can have breakfast money)...
$300 for Ohana dinner
$200 for Biegarten lunch
8 CS meals (4 adult meals, 2 kid meals, a few drinks) - $80/each for $640
$100 for snacks

Total $1240 budgeted for 5 full days of meals with 2 TS...
