How much spending for family of 5?

[myasmum]

We are leaving next Thursday we are staying at a house we rented with brother inlaw & his family so figured we would eat breakfest there for sure everyday and we are doing 1 lunch at MK and dinner there a different day BUT how much would you give for food and other things daily (estimated) but yeah not sure 1st time going to Disney. We are doing 3 days at Disney 1 at Sea World and then 1 maybe beach or shopping (then heading up to Conneticut to see inlaws) so we will be in Orlando area for 6 days

Any help
THanks

Here's a list of restaurants at Disney along with menus - this should help with food budgeting at least:

Hi Glad to see someone help with Disney menus. It may be worth it to check out the ADR's for the 1 dinner at DW. Buffets generally included bottemless drinks, all-you-can-eat incl. dessert so can be great value. We did not do Seaworld on our last FL trip but is it historically very expensive for food. One suggestion, since you are staying offsite is to freeze waterbottles and bring them to the parks. By the time you want a drink, it will be thawed and cold. You may want to stop at Wal-Mart & load up on snacks and groceries to bring with you. SW (& Animal Kingdom) does not allow straws or plastic cup covers to be sold so be sure to bring a waterbottle etc. if you want to save larger purchased drinks for later.

We always take a thousand dollars for food on our Disney trips and come home with 300 or so. We have a family of five and usually take 10 day Disney trips. HTH If you are staying in like you are maybe 5-600.
