How Much Spending Money Should I need?

[TripletMommy2003]

We are leaving on Saturday and spending 7 days in Florida. We are not staying on site but rather in Windsor Hills. There are 9 of us..myself, husband, mother in law, 21 y/o son, 19 y/o daughter, 7 y/o triplet daughters and 9 month old son. We already have our tickets, rental home, plane tickets and rental car, so these things are not needed. Mother in law is bringing $700 and will be helping somewhat. I just want an idea of about how much I should expect to spend while on vacation. This is our very first Disney family vacation.

Thank you for any help.

We do $250 per day.. but we include spending and dining in that figure. Some days we spend more on dining than others so we find that it works well for us. It is me, dh, dd6 and ds5..

Where are you planning on eating? On-Site, Off-Site?

If you are eating on-site I would say at least $275-$350 per day for food (at least $50 per day per adult and probably $20 per day for your triplets assuming you don't have any Disney ADRs) for nine people (actually 8 as I'm sure your 9 month old won't eat much).

Disney dining can be quite expensive. For example one dinner at Ohana's for your group would be about $200 not including a tip.

If you are eating off-site or in your room for all or some meals you can do it cheaper.
