How much spending money shall I take for 1 adult

[angel659]

Hi

I am off to FL in August with Claire (Fizz13), but I cant decide how much spending money to take. I was thinking of $100 a day. That will include bfast, lunch and dinner. Some merchandise. I doubt I will eat three times a day, but I am not sure what others in the party are doing? Do you think I need to take more with me?

For the two of us we have managed on $120 a day with big purchases going on the CC so $100 a day sounds good, what you don't spend you can keep for November

Totally depends where you eat,
We got back at the weekend, Don't eat breakfast so 2 meals a day, 1 in park counter service and 1 offsite like Golden Corral, Sweet Tomatoes, Black Angus etc. For 3 of us we spent no more than $75/day.
1 counter service meal with soda around $9
1 meal and Soda offsite around $15

For a family of 3 It works out around $100/day for us sometimes more sometimes less but don't eat Onsite in evenings. includes meals, supermarket and bits of shopping we do.

actually Michelle, darling, I've seen Claire drink and I reckon you won't get much change out of $1000 a day only kidding, I reckon $100 - $150 a day will be more than enough, and as someone else said you can always keep it back for when you go with Bruce

Thats what I figured LOL. I didnt want to be cut short. It looks like 1-2 resturants a day? Not entirely sure if its all the same. I looked on all ears.net at the places Claire said and then tried to work out what I have so I can get a rough idea. As you said I can bring the rest of the money with Bruce in Nov. I am just paranoid I wont bring enough.

Cant you bank the money, earn interest and use a Nationwide credit card? you will get better exchange rate than cash and no worries if you have enough.

I've got a plan for you. Take $200 per day and drink nothing but cocktails all holiday - surely a good idea (and I am sure Claire will be up for it!)

Sounds like a fab idea! Another reason to take more with me the exchange rate more dollars more alchohol

I think $100 a day will be plenty, we usually spend about $120 for both of us, hopefully you will come back with loads for your next trip or you could buy something really fab when you go shopping!
