How much to take.....

[aj2703]

With the Euro hitting a new 16 month low against the Pound i now find myself wondering just how much money to change up for my trip. I don't want to change too much then have to change more back then i needed to.

There are four of us. Myself and three boys, 12,11 and 9. I arrive in disney on Sunday 15th and leave Thurs 19th. I have paid half board so breakfast and dinner is sorted.

I was thinking of around 700-800 Euro.

Do you think that is too much or not enough.? I don't plan to eat in any of the Higher end restaurants for lunch, was thinking earl of sandwich etc. Maybe a few beers at night and also drinks for the kids.

What amount do you guys think should cover it. I do plan to give the 3 boys 50 euro each spending money.

I think this should be enough. You do have your meals prepaid, so you'll be left with more than 100Eur a day.

We're going Sun-Thu too. There's 4 of us (2 adults & 2 children) and I'm taking 600 euros.

700 euros is loads for 5 days if you've already got half board paid for .

I give my DD 40 euros or so for her spending when we do 5 days at DLP, and even with all meals to pay for, we don't spend more than about 60 euros per day for 2 of us.

I always budget £100 a day for the 2 of us and i never book the half board option, so dinner has to come out of that and lunch.

700-800 will be plenty

We normally spend about E40 for a counter service lunch for 2 adults and 3 children so you have plenty extra for drinks/souvenirs etc. We normally keep any Euros we have leftover to put towards the next trip
