Is $100 enough?

[RM2016]

If you are having a decent breakkie and having some meals offsite you will manage with that budget. There are eating places to suit all budgets and there is some excellent trip reports with eating on a budget you could have a nosey at before you go.

With breakfast at the hotel, lunch on site and evening meal 'out' - TGI's or something $100 is easily doable - with money to spare for the next day.

In my experience $100 doesn't go very far in Disneyworld, try and take more money if you can, if you don't spend it that's great just bring it home again. I wouldn't want to spoil my holiday by worrying about running out of money for food before the end.

Slight tangent warning ! What sort of food can you get as counter service please ? Are there 'healthy' options and are the portions 'meal' size or more like a large snack ?

I'm with Warpig on this one. Take more money or credit card. I'm sure after a few days you'll have a good idea what your spending will be like. A lot of people scrimp and save before they go on holiday, then keep with this mindset when they're away.

I agree with the above posters that $100 will be difficult onsite. Also I think you will soon get fed up only eating counter service meals twice a day. You will probably need one sit down meal. As previously suggested it might be best having good breakfast, counter service for lunch and then off site for dinner

Sit down meals in Disney are very expensive, most are worth it. If you were eating your main meal off site than $100 is easily enough, also I think that breakfast, counter service and sit down meal plus snacks will be far too much food for you. We usually have a breakfast, maybe a ice cream later than sit meal meal or early lunch and sit down meal evening. Xx

We would say doable as we rarely spend more than $125 per day anyway.

Get water from Wal-Mart and chill in your hotel fridge to take a couple with you. Use an empty bottle to refill with ice water through the day.

Make the most of free breakfast. We find we don't like snacking in the morning then.

With counter service, you don't tip.

With table service, eat main meal for a (very) late lunch. Don't forget free refills. Always ask for one with the bill, some places will let you take it out.

On your non park day's. Plenty of cheap places to eat. We find Crossroads Sweet Tomatoes a great option for a break.

We are a couple and only eat on site at either disney or universal. We eat mainly CS and book a couple of TS during our stay. We find on a CS day $100 is plenty with $ left over for our TS days. It's plenty.

If you want to be restrictive then yes you may just manage it but $100 per head per day is more realistic
