Everyone's budget is different. Lets compare the breakdowns. Who knows what you may like and want to adapt to your own. Either upcoming or past visits should do.
Mine is (March 2016):
Hotel 1600. 6 days onsite at Port Orleans (Good view, without discount added in. I am hoping I will get a discount room, but not adding discount into budget just in case)
Tickets 1220. Two adults, one child. (If I get room discount, I am upgrading to park hoppers)
Kids money 300. (2 kids. They are earning money set up though chores though out year. So they can earn a little or lot- it is up to them.)
Kid Clothes- 100 (Since I am taking my nephew- I am buying him everything from shoes to clothes. The only thing his mom will provide will be his meds. I don't want the additional stress of not knowing whether or not my nephew has something or if it will fit. Also is something gets destroyed, like shoes, my sister will not get upset.)
Bathroom products- 50 (shampoos, mouth items, body washes, etc)
Groceries- 50 (for that trip to store half way though- sodas, water, breakfast items, snacks, etc. Also no matter how well you plan you will forget something that you need to go to store for)
Road hotels- 500 (we are going by car so 2 hotels on way there, one on way back- We like to stay at nice hotels- Durry in by far is our favorite. We like to be comfortable.)
Gas- Tricky (we have gas cards we put these on and pay off with leftover vacation money otherwise we pay pay off within two months coming back from vacation. We do not budget this)
Food/other 2200 (200 a day seems about right for us and has the past two vacations. 3 days travel there, 5 days there, 2 days back, one extra day for just in case.)
I am doing swag bucks, my surveys, and bing for gift cards to cut down food budget, but not adding them into budget. If I do this right I should have about 400 in food gc's by the time we go.
So lets see yours.
