how much cash to bring to the parks?

[MissyPrissy]

Anybody have any advice on that? My DF isn't sure how much cash to bring into the parks and is fretting over it!

advice welcome!!!

Well, we charge almost everything to our room so I bring about $20 a day for small snacks or whatever.

It depends on whether your DF will be charging to the room or not and if the spending money must include food/meals and souvenirs etc...

For us it's just for some snacks so the $20 is plenty.

thanks! We are on the DDP, so $20 a day sounds right...

I bring as little cash as possible, because I'm concerned about losing it! I charge any purchases to the room, so all I really need is snack money. The less $$ I have the fewer snacks I eat, which isn't really a bad thing for me.

This is the first time that we will be staying on site. In the past we brought about $50 and we usually had a good bit of money to bring home with us everyday. We almost never bought trinkets in the parks only stuff that we HAD to have(Gold Mickey Ears or Shirts that you can't get anywhere else). Most of the food in the parks you can split because they give you a lot.

On trips when I have room charging enabled, I typically carry about $20 in cash.

On trips when I stay off-site, I carry about $60 in cash and Disney Dollars.

Something to keep in mind is that if you're going during the Food & Wine festival you might want some cash with you for all the little food booths.
