theres not one answer..

It depends on where you are staying, ie, are you eating out 3x a day, you have breakfast in a villa or hotel prepaid or a walamart shop ? are you wanting a sit down meal for lunch or a snack?

Evening meal, are you wanting a full fillet steak style meal at $30 or happy with a $10 burger ?

There is so much range its hard to give a figure.. but for us, 2 adult and 2 kids under 10, a typical meal at Longhorns was costing us $80-$90 with drinks, so for 4x adult meals and drink you will be looking at $25 a head min plus tip.

The likes of Millers for an evening will save you cash, bringing it more closer to $20 per person, (no desert or starter)

I suggest you get signing up for email offers at all these places, i must of had $70 plus in free starters..

We spent £3k over two weeks. (2 adults, 2 teens). That didn’t include shopping trips (for clothes etc) but did include food shopping for the villa. We ate out every night, places like Longhorns, Manny’s, Texas, Sweet Tomatoes, Applebee’s, Hard Rock. Only had breakfast out a couple of times. Lunch was mostly at the villa. That included £300 for Busch Gardens tickets and £130 medical bill, fuel, Ubers in Miami, trips to Menchies/Twistee Treats, slushes/Icees by the pool etc. £3k is what I had saved ready to pay off the CC, so I was pretty chuffed with that! No main park visits though, so no expensive park snacks/food.

Just checked my CC bill, Longhorns was our most expensive meal at £115, Culvers was the cheapest at £23. Average was around £75. Neither of us drink alcohol with a meal, and the boys ordered as adults

wow, that sounds a lot, but guess you were eating out every night, we spent just over half that for 19 nights, off site in a villa, and that includes park parking, food and shopping!

For 4 of us 2 adults and 2 children we spent about $1000 on food over 2 weeks we at out for every meal and we didn’t scrimp on anything and everything we wanted. We allowed ourselves an additional $3000 for shopping, fuel etc as all tickets were paid for before we went

Phew . I was just going through my CC bill to see where it all went, but it’s all about right. £200 a day did seem a lot, but actually for everything, it’s not bad (and we brought a load of food bits home too )

£3k over 2 weeks with no shopping included, no theme park parking costs, no theme park costs sounds a lot to me at $240 a day when staying offsite in a villa, but if you are eating a big evening meal offsite everyday plus breakfast and lunch it will soon start adding up

It included some theme park tickets, a trip to Miami by sounds of it meals out every day sounds about right to me. We are going for 3 weeks next year and are budgeting $6000 for the 3 weeks, for food (have the Disney breakfast plan), fuel, shopping and other stuff that crops up when wondering around lol
