Spending/Eating Money Budget

[tebright]

Ok, now I know this has been asked before but I'm down to my last week and I could use some advice from some experienced Disners.

DH, DS (11 yrs), DD (10 yrs) and myself will be in Disney from 12/1 through 12/7. Actually we will be there a full 5 days to eat meals and dinner on 12/1 and breakfast on 12/7 before we leave. We will be doing HDD one night, Crystal Palace one night, Chef Mickey one morning, Prime Time one day at lunch, RFC one night, Cape May Cafe one night, and Ohanas the day we leave. Other than that we will be determining as we go on where we will eat. Probably either counter service or possibly out of Disney. We are staying at POR and might hit the food court some AM's but we have cereal for the rooms also. We also are bringing our own snacks.

So....my question is....How much money do you think I need? Do you think $2000 will be enough? We will buy some soveineers but not a lot and our room and transportation is already paid for.

are your passes paid for? If so I'd say more than enough

if not just in my head( not by menus) i very roughly guestimated $600 for the meals you stated and you need 2 more dinners, 4 lunches and any more breakfasts...however the one breakfast if it is on one of those dinner days I doubt you'd need much else that day. so I figured 3-4 counter meals for lunch would be almost 40 each for 4 "close to adult" appetites ( 5-7 for entree plus 2 for drink plus tax) so about $750 for meals and that leaves only 1250 for passes and souvies and anything else you may want.

edited cause oops HHD so closer to $800 ( if it's still $49 per, don't know the kids price but guessing yours are still covered?)

What I did for our trip was to go to this website and look at the menus and prices to figure up what it would cost us to eat out:

Hope this helps!
