How much spending money?

[sis]

How much spending ,money should we take for 2 adults a 4 yr old and 5 yr old?

We have breakfast included in our hotel?

I know it depends on what we are likely to buy etc?

But a rough idea would be good for food etc on daily basis.

It's our first trip on Saturday and we can't wait!!!

As a rough guide family of 5 like ours eating fast food lunch in parks of set

menus ie including drinks approx 50 euros .

evening meals last visit ranged from 100-130 Euros plus

Any souvenirs and spends on top

What sort of restaurants are you looking at eating in?

McDonalds in the Village is good if you are on a low budget as you can have meal for approx 6-8 Euros

Table service restaurants are more, http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/index.phpthis site gives you an idea of food & prices to help you budget

we went for 6 days and took near 700 euros but came back with more than 250 euros but that WAS NOT including character meals. The kids got about 4 things each to take home...

I'm cheap!!

forgot to say thats 2 adults and a 7 year old and a 2 year old.

Thanks !! Wish I had found this site weeks ago!!

Don't have a clue about the restaurants etc, only found this board so will be trawling few it the next 2 days.

Probably a sandwich or panini at lunchtime, panini and then main meal later.

We are staying at the Santa Fe from 9th to 13th February!!

We were planning on booking Cafe Mickey before we go and possibly Auberege do Cendrillon, so the girls can see the princesses?? any advice welcome

A few people have said other than the parade you don't see much of the princesses at all? Is that right???

There's a very recent thread on seeing princesses, have a quick look back at the threads....

For some help budgeting for food have a look at the restaurant sticky also. Many reviewers include photos of their food, the menu and price they paid

Driving from Stratford upon Avon but staying with my parents in Kent day before. Our first Eurotunnel trip too (and also thanks Mr T!).
We have been to DLRP before and drove then too from Calais as it was part of a holiday in France. I remember it was an easy drive. DS was 2 and threw up on the way to Dover which pretty much summed up the 3 days in Disney! He was a bit poorly and miserable so not great. Hoping for no illnesses this time!

Hi we'll be driving on Monday morning from Birmingham and going on the tunnel for the first time ever! After last years hellish trip on the ferry (more scary than any DLP ride) we decided to try the tunnel. Looks like there's going to be quite a few DIS people there next week- cannot wait!!
