We have spent a bit more than I thought before, so maybe it will be enough money there.

I am talking as if two thousand pounds is nothing, I do realise it is a lot for us. I will have done enough shopping before we go Thanks again for everything Lisa x I would love a Tiffany necklace though lol

£2k for 4 pax for 2 weeks is fine if you follow the excellent budget advice you have been given but if you want to do those ADRs, shop at Tiffanys etc then you really do need to work out a stricter budget in my view as £250 a person for a week won't stretch to all that

My other top tip is check your receipts as they often have discount vouchers at the bottom. I also have a yahoo email address dedicated to voucher collecting ! If you sign up about 2 weeks before you travel to the companies newsletter they send lots of vouchers, my favorite is club veg for sweet tomatoes they send bogof vouchers at least once a week and as its cheap to start off with a family of 4 can eat very well for around $30.

Tiffany necklaces don't have to be expensive, they do several under $200, i saw a pretty Tiffany Heart on a thin chain for under $150 this year.

Thank you, if I have enough money , we have done everything we want, the children have bought what they would like to, and if there is any money left I would love to buy one It is a silly thing but favourite film, Moon river was our wedding song, I can dream! Where might I look if I did wish to buy one?

Lisa I got a Tiffany necklace and bracelet when I was there. I chose my own heart pendant and bought a chain for it, it was around £160. My bracelet was around £120. You don't have to spent loads to get something lovely. I'm sure you will save enough for a treat :-)

Totally agree with this, we got one of these for lunch and it fed the 3 of us (dd15 so eating adult sized amount). We had this with free drinks using our refillable mugs we bought. Bargain lunch and very tasty

I think the only store in Orlando is at the Mall of Millenia :-)

Hope you're feeling a bit more relaxed now Lisa. One person has rattled you with talk of spending £6k, but I sincerely hope the 11 pages of people with more realistic budgets has reassured you. You will have plenty sweetie and will enjoy a fantastic holiday on it.

Jumping on this thread on spends, but I'm a big Juicy Couture bag fan. Where can I get these in Orlando and what kind of saving up do I need for one or three, or even three
