Spending Money

[freddykrueger]

Probably an old topic and I know enough is never enough when it comes to Orlando but what would be a good level of spending money to take on a 2 week holiday? This time I don't think we will be going to any of the outlets but will still be spending in the parks.

Also will be staying onsite so will need to buy meals etc

How many are going, adults and children? Also any discounts you may have for dining and do you ahve park tickets already purchased?

Sorry - oops should have mentioned that info 2 adults and 1 child and we have already purchased theme park tickets. No plans for dinner reservations etc and will generally be eating at the resort or the parks....gulp.

I would say about $150 a day should be fine for food and a few treats, but have a few $ in reserve for souvenirs or a credit card

We always spend around the same every holiday, averages out at $100/day. Last August put everything except tolls onto Nationwide CC, 25 nights spent £1,200 for 3 adults. That covered food, snacks, drinks, and things we bought to bring home. Eat lunches in parks but offsite for evening meals so if all meals onsite probably cost more.
I always spend time before every holiday joining websites for free desserts, buy one meal get one free, 50% off, free ice cream etc etc. don't get teh same offers onsite unfortunately.

Thanks for this - are there any "usual suspect" websites that I shoudl be looking at for these freebies? I'm totally ignorant when it comes to these things as all I remember when going last time was picking up a couple of voucher books which weren't very good.

We are 2 adults and 2 teens, our ballpark figure is $150 per day, we've never gone over this, although it varies from day to day, it averages at less than the $150.
