Spending money for 13 nights in Orlando.

[Shaz313]

Hi,

Wondering how much spending money to take. I was thinking $3350 dollars will be more than enough for me and my partner and 3 year old. As already got 14 day Disney tickets but will probably get universal 2 Park one day tickets which I will buy at Walmart and I’m taking extra just in case as I don’t know if I’m renting a car yet so accounting for transportation, food and shopping. We don’t drink alcohol and will be sticking to breakfast at ihop or dinners and dinners at like Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden ect and fast food options. I’ve only booked two character dining meals currently breakfast at Ohana and breakfast at tusker house restaurant. And also got breakfast booked at the plaza In MK and lunch at garden grill Epcot. I most probably will just the tusker house breakfast character meal and probably cancel the rest just in a week as I only want to do one character meal but didn’t know which would be better the Ohana one or tusker house. And then in the parks we will all be sharing food I hope that will be more than enough spending money. I will leave shopping till the last weekend to see how much I’ve got to spend.

Should be well enough. We budget $100 per day for 2 adults off site or $150 on-site.

Should be well enough, but depends on how much you spend on eating out. Stay away from expensive restaurants and you’ll be fine.

You should be fine.
Check out Dixonsontour for great tips on dining on a budget. Lots of their trip reports. Family of 3.
We love Chilis, Giordanos and Fuddruckers for great food at lower prices. Means we can splurge on Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner a couple of times.

Ok cool is that for travel too? Or do you guys rent a car?

I know everyone is so different but we manage on a little less than that (usually around $5500 around $200 a day) for a family of 5 for 4 weeks (eating out, fuel for hire car, shopping, villa food).

Sounds like you'll have a great time as yours equates to around $257 a day

Ubers will chew through that. Get a car if you can.

From what I've been reading on the car hire section it seems to work out cheaper to use Uber/Lyft. The average people are spending is around £300 on ubers for a 2 week holiday.

In May we spent £400 on a hire car, petrol costs then $25 a day parking on top of that.
