Help for family planning please!
Our trip to Mexico seems up in the air due to airline prices- and it being the week of high travel.
We've tenativly booked rooms at WDW from Feb 16-22nd doing the silver package.
I'll be doing some serious planning the next few days- as we have until Nov 1st to send the deposit, I need to put it all out on the table for the extended family as to what this is going to cost- outside of rooms/dreammaker/silver plan costs.
I know about sharing meals- my thought is that my budget does not have to include meals outside of the wishes... My kids for instance, will order off the adult menu and split- as will other kids...
I know the wishes are "pooled" in the room- meaning my room- will have 8 wishes per night. They carry over etc.
I am thinking of $100 for souviners and misc per person. This would include say a mickey bar if they want it etc.
the adults- I'm saying an additional $500 per family- for incidentals, drinks, misc etc.
That would be an additonal amount of $700 per family to budget over the room costs. This on top of the $180 per person flights.
What else am I forgetting or what would you add?
I'll do the autograph books for the kids for christmas if we do end up going. My kids- will be getting disney dollars, and I can have the grandparents do the same. Heck- all the kids could get disney dollars from DMIL, and their parents, and this would be their christmast gift.
I really need to sit down and "spend the wishes"...for each room, and figure out if we need to budget for addional stuff.
Thanks
Brandy
