Money

I'm going to Disneyland for 3 days.
Between food and souvenirs how much money would you recommend I bring?

Are you going solo? If I went solo, I would plan on $100/day. You can make it by on way less than that, and some people spend a lot more, but that would be a comfortable amount for me. You could use half for food and half for souvenirs, or you might feel like splurging on meals one day and merchandise another.

Those could vary a bit depending on your style. For us $75 a day per person on food if we need 3 meals and snacks in park. Could even be more if we go for something like the Blue Bayou etc. If you have, say a continental breakfast at your hotel, and eat lunch or dinner at McD's you could get away with a lot less.

Souvenirs for us are a big thing, as we like to look in every shop we can find and bring home more than just memories. For us it's not out of the question to drop $800 or more on souvenirs on a three day trip. We even make sure we have extra room in our luggage for it all. Others may just buy a T shirt and be just as happy.

I feel as if this is a tough question without some sort of context as to what kind of dining you're planning on / how many souvenirs / what type you're interested in. It's just that the range is huge looking at the different possibilities for what you could spend money on.

That said, I think $75-100 as previously suggested would be a nice, comfortable amount if, say, you were interested in having two decent meals throughout the day and a few snacks between, coupled with some basic souvenirs from here to there and a couple of nicer things.

I think you could probably pull off $30-40 a day if you were really working to go on the cheap, and I'm sure it's not all that difficult to spend several hundred a day if you're enjoying the nicer restaurants there and really spending on the different gifts (for yourself and others) that you can buy (there are some high end products for sale...).

We budget $75/ day per person for food, and around $50-75 per person for souvenirs. But like pp said, it depends on what you want to eat.... With our character breakfast, blue bayou dinner, and big thunder ranch bbq dinner it is probably closer to $100/person/ day so embarrassing! It seems like so much, but hey, we don't get to do disney very often, so we go all out

$1,000. Have a blast!
