What do you budget for spending money?

[TipsyTraveler]

For two of us on a ten day trip we usually spend $100-$200 if any non-Disney home decor items catch our eye, like framed prints, wood carvings, etc. We're not really the type to buy the typical souvenir stuff like trinkets and t-shirts. I did buy a pin once -- so add 10 bucks?

Now, when you say "Not counting meals" I'm going to assume you consider alcohol to be a part of the meal because I would be far too embarrassed to tell you how much we spend on that!

We budgetted $100 per adult & $150 for DS. We came in slightly under budget as DH did not buy anything. However, we went slightly over on our food budget so it evened out.

Typically 1000 for 4 days and about 2000 for a week.

The last 3 trips, we spent under $300 for a family of 4 on a 9 day trip. We aren't much into souvenirs, most of that money was spent on tips at the TS restaurants (we had the DDP).

We average around $100/day, which includes food, as we don't do the DDP. On longer trips we spend less per day because we have a villa with groceries, on shorter trips more.

I tend to bring about $300-$400 for the week (give or take) that I am there but I almost never spend even half of it. As I've gone lots now, I really find myself not wanting or needing anything - there are only so many beach towels a girl can own! This year however I am putting a bit more aside in case I want a Dooney or Vera. I saw a Dooney Sketch wallet I really want so maybe I will treat myself!

I should really set up a fund for Mickey ice cream bars though...I don't snack much in the parks but they are my weakness!!

Past experience has required we budget $200 per day - this covers food and drink. We might spend less on us but when our DD joins us on the weekends the 'extra' is used - eh, she's work it

Sounds about right. We never do the DDP anymore, so food and drink are a good part of our daily expenditures. Some days less, some days more- it evens out.
