How possible is this?

Hi everyone,,
I am going down feb 7-12 to take my DD to her disney college program and well while I am doing this I plan on staying for 5 days myself a PORFQ...here is what i am asking ,,i plan on going to the store off property ( car rental for her needs for 1 day only she needs to grocery shop for apartment) and buying milk and cereal and maybe bread and some cold cuts for myself to have in the room so I am bringing 240.00 for food...I will say I will spend 20.00 on the items mentioned. Do you think that with the prices of food in the park 220.00 is enough for 1 person. There is one TS I must do and that is the Sci-Fi dinner theatre my fav! The rest will all be CS for dinners,,,I told hubby 220.00 is to much he insisted it is not. Im not a big eater ,,,breakfast maybe lunch or a snack and then dinner ...So some advice who is right me or him ????

If you ate a sandwich for lunch or breakfast in your room every day it would be enough. If you ate both in your room everyday, you would have enough to do a nice TS meal each night. You can def. make due with $240.00.

You could do the DDP to for around $210.00 and get 1 CS, 1 TS and 1 snack for each night of your stay! Then I would just get cereal or granola bars or poptarts etc. to have for breakfast each day and use my CS for lunch and TS for dinner. Then the only thing you would have to pay for OOP would be tips and any appetizers that you want. For tips I calculated approx $6.00 for each TS meal (approx $35.00 for each TS and .15% tip) thus spending an extra $30.00 for tips.

You could also do the Quick service meal plan that would cost less (approx $160.00) and that would give you 2 CS meals per day, 2 snacks per day and a refillable mug to use at your resorts food court. That way, if you only wanted to do the 1 TS you mentioned in your post, you would still have plenty of money out of your budget for that...with lots left over! You can use snack credits to buy yummy things like croissants, and cinnamon buns at the Main St. bakery for breakfast and use you CS credits for lunch and dinner!

Make sure you get some beignets (I wonder if these count as a snack credit???) at POFQ...YUMMMOOOO!!!!

IMHO, you can make that money stretch to last you your entire trip!!!

Have a great time...We will be ther 2/6-2/12 (staying at AKL)....maybe we will bump into you!
