We just returned home from our first trip 1n 10 years to Disney. We had tickets for Disney, Universal, Sea World and Wetand Wild. We also had 6 meal vouchers for Disney. there are 4 in our family, me, my husband, 9 year old daughter, and 16 year old son. We had plenty of money. We brought 2,000 with us ( well it was on our debit cards) and we had credit cards to use if we needed more .I was amazed at how little out of pocket money we spent. We stayed at vistana Villages, with a full kitchen, so the first day we were there I went to the store and bought 2 boxes of cereal, juice, coffee, soda, bagels, a loaf of bread, frozen sausage patties, sliced cheese and a dozen eggs. That took care of breakfast all week except for 1 box of donuts that we later bought. In the parks on 2 days we spent no money at all! We brought Brita water bottles with us, and they were so nice to have!!We even added crystal light lemonade to one of the bottles, just take the filter out first.This saved us alot of money. One day we picked up subs from subway for dinner, because we had a big meal at Disney with our meal vouchers. Another day the kids wanted Mcdonalds, so that was $10. We ordered from the dollar menu! One night we ate at sizzler, a buffet, that bill was $42. One night we ate at Golden corral, $46. We ate at the outback, that was $80. I was planning on at least $200 a day but we did not spend anywhere near that. We did have a few snacks in the parks, turkey legs are $5 each, but well worth it.
That should save on snacks and such.
