How much to budget for 3 days/family of 4?

For food and extras?

FWIW, Neither of my 2 kids eats a lot. DD has severe food allergies so she'll be eating food we bring more often than not.

We will eat breakfast at the hotel all 3 days. Lunch will probably be at the hotel as well. So we'll probably just need a few snacks and dinner.

We plan to do Blue Bayou once (hopefully we can get my family to take our kids so we can just have a mommy/daddy date for lunch!)

And we plan to do Ariel's for lunch or dinner (any suggestions which is better) so DD can meet some princesses.

Other than that it will probably be pizza, hamburgers etc.

Have you checked out the menus on allearsnet.com? You will really be able to see what your family would like and the approx cost of the meals. That is really the best gauge of what you will spend on food. As far as souvies, well, that is really up to you. You could easily keep it low or shoot for the stars. The food budget is what I would really be looking at.

my biggest budget tip is to make sure you think of any BEVERAGES you will purchase, especially if you are going when it is warm outside.

last may there was a heatwave and we spent a fortune on WATER of all things. it had to be ice cold you know!

anyways, with 5 of us and waters like 3 bux a pop, it got quite pricey.
