So maybe this is a better question...

[katdunn]

I've seen several people post how much should you take for this and for that. So maybe this is a better way to ask my question. We have a resort package, with dining and park hopper and water parks and more feature. So, that being said, how much more money should I expect to pay out for EVERYTHING..tipping, extra food and drinks (we don't drink alcohal so we will fill our mugs each day), suveniers (limiting the family to $200 per person).... HELP! Thanks so much - I know you experienced disney goers will know about expences that I won't even imagine coming up till I am there! Thanks in advance! kat

The answer to your question really depends on a few things: How long are you staying? How many people are in your party? If you have kids with you, how old are they (this will be important in the souviner shopping experience)? There's no straightforward answer to this question.

Enjoy your vacation!

there really is no answer to that question like the previous poster said. everyone budgets differently. we are going next week with my inlaws. we also have the DDP. so basically eveyrhting is paid for. i have 5 in my immediate family and my inlaws have 3. we plan to bring $1500 for spending money. my inlaws are bringing $400. my guess, ill spend all ine plus some and they will come home with money. it just depends on how you spend money.
i did make a loose budget. and i would suggest you make one as well. heres basically what mone looks like.

rental car $160
parking at airport $60
breakfast everymorning with tip $170
tips for dinner $100
1 dinner OOP plus tip $100
trip to publics for diapers $60
souveniers $300
food other than DDP $200
gas to and from airport $25

total $1175 but im rounding to $1500 because even though i think ive thought of everything, theres bound to be something ive forgotten.
