Hello
I hope this is the right place to post this...
We are visiting Florida for the first time next march - our trip will be 7 days in orlando and 7 days in the keys. I was wondering if any one can help me with a realistic daily budget for our trip? We are a family of 3 - Mum, Dad and DS (2 years old)
In Orlando - We are staying off property in LBV - Breakfast is provided so we will eat there every day. Park tickets will be paid for so all I need is a rough daily amount that will buy us a counter service meal, table service meal and an icecream each day. Plus a small souvineer each each day (well we are on holiday!) We won't be eating signature just casual dining - but for the TS will prob want 3 courses and a drink. DS will eat from the kids menu. We also won't be hitting any malls and doing any shopping in that sense - just souvineers in the park. We will have a car so will need to factor in parking.
If any of you more experienced WDW disers could let me know how much you would plan per day (or even just for the whole 7 days) for a family our size then that would be great
Then for the keys part - is anyone local able to tell me how much a litre of gas is at the moment?
We are self catering in the keys and whilst I know its quite cheeky if anyone out there is in a family of three nd happy to share I'd love to know roughly how much your weekly grocery shop is? This would really help me buget for that part of our trip
Thank you so much for your help - we were last in the states in 2008 so I'm guessing food and gas prices are different now,
Thanks
