How much spending money to allow

[breana902]

We are leaving for disneyworld tomorrow morning and I am starting to worry that we don't have enough spending money. We are a family of 6. Everything is paid for - I just need to know how much for food and other stuff.

We are a family of 4, me, dh, dd 7 yo and ds almost 2 yo. Last April 2001, we brought $400.00 total spending for little extras (toys, counter service food etc.,.) We brought back about $30.00. Like you, everything was already paid for. I had the money we needed in the bank at home and used VISA for meals etc.,. The $400.00 was just things that we couldn't do VISA.

We just got back from a 5 day trip and we spent around $800
dollars. We did Chef Mickey, the Princesses Castle, Cosmic Ray and
room service one night. We stopped and got goober grape jelly and peanut
butter, cheese, meat,cereal, bread and drinks at the store. Had breakfast
3 morning breakfast in the room. Sandwiches sometimes at lunch and
dinner. Had to tip and pay for Tiffany service and tipped the maids,
waitess and bell hop. The tipping added up to about 75 dollars. We
got lots of gifts and shirts. This was a trip that we didn't restrict ourself
to much and still had fun. This was for 2 adults and 2 children with two
rooms.
