So, I decided that I would rather wash clothes once during the trip than lug all the clothes we would need for the duration of the trip.
So, including our travel days our trip is 8 days long, so I am packing 4 days worth of clothing. (which means including the clothes we will wear, that is 5 days of clothes.)
This is my packing list as it stands right now:

Although mine has much more info than DD's I also have one for her, with the same details. (although she is not on any meds)
I carry these in my backpack at all times we are traveling. And will add different notes depending on what is different, like if we are also traveling with grandma I will note it, also will sometimes add our resort info if I feel it may be needed. I also let others I am traveling with know I have these sheets in my bag in case of emergency. Even DD knows that if a doctor is needed to tell them about the papers in my bag.
I know we most likely will never need to have these sheets, but the come in handy, even at home! The nurses at my local doctor love me

when I can just read right off my sheet and have all dosages listed. I also keep the meds and allergies alphabetized as it is quicker for them to enter them into the system that way.

Okay, so I did a post about the dining, now I figure to go ahead and decide on the rest of the budget.
Tips from dining already planned will be appx. 60 dollars. (rounded up, at 18% even for buffets which will not happen.)
I also need appx 60 dollars for the BBB planned. (also rounded up.)
So that is 120 bucks cash for what is already arranged for.
We also want to do pony rides, at 5 bucks a ride, we had 3 rides last year so lets budget 20 bucks here.
140.
We would like to eat outside of our dxdp days, and at airport on leaving day.
So, I have zero idea what it will cost us dining wise outside of our DxDP. I know A and L will most likely cover Kobe's. So that leaves breakfast at airport, dole whip and supper, and breakfast and airport. to plan for.
Guessing about 15 bucks for airport breakfast? (Midway has a mcdonalds in there.), dole whips what, 5 bucks? (so 20 so far), supper... lets say 20 bucks (hopefully not, but rather guess over than under!) (40).... then breakfast, 15? (55) then I know our late lunch at airport is going to be at chili's too. That will run us about 25-30 bucks. (Or so I think I remember)
So, guessing about 90 for meals... lets just round that out to 100 bucks.
240.
Now for the extras. I would love to do design a T. I think it is 30 bucks a shirt. so for me and DD it would be 60 bucks.
300
Plus laundry, I think will only be a single load, but bringing enough for two just in case
308.
okay, I am ready to call it. I'll bring my ears from last year and I'll be happy. DD has about 85 dollars of her own for spending, so she can get new ears if she wants, candy, toys etc. whatever she wants that is within her budget.
Lets hope I get some Birthday money in pre-trip! Would love to just have extra just in case. you know?
Oh, and next post will be some more pictures of my cutie!
