we are doing the land/sea trip in oct. this is our first cruise and basicaly our first trip. i was curious if anyone could help firgure out how much spending money - tips, souverniors, food, excursions - that we might need. i have planned this whole trip on a buget, and now that i have have all the arrangments made i want to be sure we have a good time when we're there and not have to worry about money. any one with any good ideas? two adults and one 8 year old
3 day land / 4 day sea
I have found the Disney Cruise Board to be a wealth of knowledge for our first cruise this September for all those questions we knew we had and DIDNT know we wanted to ask alike!! You may want to also ask around over on the Cruise board...doesnt hurt to get too many opinions
In addition to the Cruise Board, you might want to visit DCL's website. There is information on suggested tips and excursion prices. All the food you eat on the ship is included in your package cost. Your budget for food on land can be as much or as little as you want. We have breakfast in the room at WDW and eat one full-service meal and one counter-service meal each day. We are also two adults and a child age 8. Our budget runs approximately $70 per day for meals. If you have a late character breakfast, you can skip lunch and have a light dinner in the evening. Souvenirs are another personal choice. They can run from very expensive to not expensive at all. I would make that the variable in your budget to keep you within your spending limit for the trip.
