Getting Excited

We're going for the first time next August (2023) staying at the Caribbean beach resort with dining credit and gift card. 2 adults and 2 kids (12 & 5) we're looking at taking about £5k but will have access to more should we need it. It's our first big holiday so want it to be one to remember. We're going to DLP in a few weeks Monday to Friday with half board meal plans and we're taking about £1k - probably won't spend it all but don't want to be having to say no to the 2 boys when this will be their first time leaving the UK.

I think the moral of the story is you can have as much or as little money as you have and still have a ball.. the holiday is what you make of it.. you can completely over indulgence or just go with the flow and spend what you spend, never worry about what your taking tho because it will spoil the experience for you..

We are 2 adults and 2 children (or Disney adults). I just sat down and worked out how much we’re likely to spend by looking at restaurant menus and picking what we’d typically eat, both at Disney and offsite for our 14 days stay. I’ve budgeted roughly 1 quick service and 1 sit down meal plus 2 snacks per person per day (can you tell we’re used to the dining plan?!). It’s coming in at around $3120 for food and drink (we don’t drink alcohol), so approx $220 per day. We take spending money for shopping separately so that’s not included.
I’m hoping we don’t spend that much but won’t be surprised if we do. We will be taking an additional $1000 to have in reserve. We went to Dubai over the May half term and somehow managed to spend around £500 per day on food, entertainment and shopping! 😳 Edited at 05:51 PM. |

We don't realise the amount we actually spend until we sit down and work things out.. if the only spends we needed were food/drink we would need half of what we take.. its the extras..

Last month we spent £2200 in 16 nights plus our $980 credit. This is for 2 adults. At Christmas my son came with us so we were 3 adults staying offsite for 14 nights and we spent £3500.

Apart from the Lightsaber and going to Morimoto, we did all the same things you have mentioned that others “miss out on” with our $2500.
There’s nothing wrong with spending a lot of money if you have it and/or want to. But many of us can do exactly the same things and spend less. I don’t think I’d even know where to start in spending over £400 in a day, but I am from Yorkshire |

I think I read somewhere on here ages ago about taking what money you have and adjusting to suit. I’ve always gone with this in mind, sometimes that’s meant $100 a day and others much more.
I tend to save what I can, work it out into a daily amount and put aside what’s left from each day then that goes on treats, things to bring home or souvenirs. I don’t count Uber/Lyft costs as that goes out directly from my bank.
