How much spending money??

[JEFFSWIFE11]

I'm not sure how much spending money to bring. My kids are still little. My DD10 and DS4. We are doing BBB and PL, but I have money set aside for that stuff. I know we all want to get ears and shirts. I only want a mug or something like that. My DH wont want much more either. I told my kids they could get 1 or 2 things a day. Thank you guys for your help.

How many days will you be there? Will you be doing TS meals and need to pay tips? We stayed 7 nights in June and my oldest had $200 of birthday money from grandparents. He spent his own money on Disney Goodies and DH and I spent $350 for TS tips, a couple of alcoholic drinks, souviners, and shoes. The toddler kept losing her crocs around the park. She would only lose one shoe but one shoe is useless without the other.

I set a budget for $300 for shirts, ears etc. for my DH., myself, and dd2. My other 2 usually have their own $ through B-day allowance etc. usually they have about $75 each but have been known to have over$200 just depends on how close their b-days are when we go or how much they saved! Last year we went right after my dd2 turned 2 and she had extra $ because family knew we were going and they gave her $ for disney. I usually always come back with $. We stay 6 night usually and spend about $500 on food.

We are going for 7 nights. I have my tips set aside with the other. I'm also on the DDP. My food is all paid for. Thank you guys again for all your help.

I may not be much help, because the last time I was there was four years ago , but then the ears were 10 or 12 dollars each (embroidery included), and t-shirts ranged from $5 (at the mall outlets) to about $25 at the parks.

Most attractions have a gift shop at their exits and the kids are going to want a lot. When I was there last they had different Mickeys (Goofys, Plutos, Donalds, too)in costume related to the attraction. Those were $8 to $10.

Then there are the pins. It's fun to collect and trade. They range from $5 to $15 or so.

Your mug will probably be around $8 to $12. Possibly a few dollars cheaper.
