Looks good....do you have a pet though? you may want to budget for boarding costs

You could spend a LOT Of money on: attraction photos at the parks, film, developing, and at Shutters on board the ship. I would probably include a separate line item for pictues/developing costs.

Looks great!

if you valet in WDW - $6.00 a day.

Does your "spending money" include souveniers, or is that snacks?

We absolutely need a line item for character photos/Shutters for our family.

Does "food money" include any character meals?

We also budget for new clothes/toiletries to purchase prior to the trip. With our family of five, it really adds up!

Does your food or spending money budget for water? For us, with 2 adults & 2 kids, we could easily spend $20+ a day in water. I usually take my own & freeze them in our refrigerator and drink them later in the day.

Thanks everyone!

I forgot about pictures, definately need to add that.

And we will be buying bottle water/soft drinks at a grocery store so I need to add that too.

Spending money is souvenirs only. Food would be be for meals and snacks.

Oh and someone will have to watch the house and feed the animals.

To and from the ship. Also if you are driving, don't forget about the toll booths. Drinks on board the ship. Excursions and spending in Ports. Money to spend for Duty Free shopping
