Panicking bout spends

[Guest]

As the title says... We are staying in a villa for 3 weeks, all park tickets paid for except Kennedy, we have a hire car, we 2 adults, 13 yr old n 7 yr old and for one reason or another we have just £1800 to change which i plan to do today as time running out!
Can anyone give me their thoughts is this gonna be enough just starting to panic a bit now

that will be about $3000 for 3 weeks so thats aprox $140 a day
you should be fine
if you have a credit card just take it for emergency
also if you in a villa you can eat breakfast there and maybe have a late meal there
get your water from walmart and not the parks that will save a bit
and freeze them cold drinks all day
there free ice water at the counter service at disney just ask
free sample soft drinks around the world at epcot cool station near the big fountain
cici pizza is cheap and not to bad international drive (all you can eat )
pondarosa
golden coral all you can eat if you dont mind plastic plates and kids running around

but most of all enjoy

Hi thanks for the reply, we will take credit card for emergencies and theres a good chance we can draw a bit more from bank as get paid whilst there, just with a couple days to go the panic is setting in

For general stuff like food etc that should be fine even if you eat out every night. The rest depends on what you spend on presees.

We had $100 day for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, for 2 weeks so $1400 dollars and then we had $600 for spends. We were in an apartment, and we managed. Just enjoy yourself, all will be ok x

You should be OK.

We saved a load of money by eating breakfast at the hotel room and making sandwiches to take to the parks for lunch instead of paying the park prices. Having a villa too should mean you can eat well for less by doing a big shop at Walmart.

As mentioned above though, if you have a credit card, take that as a back up, £1800 will be tight for three weeks.

Good luck, and have a great holiday, I'm sure you will anyway!

We took the same amount for 2a and 1 child(10)
We had condo so did a big shop when we arrived. We had breakfast in the condo apart from our first and last day. One it saved some money but also time.
We froze water to leave in the car for when we got back t it after the park and took 2 bottles into the park each morning to start us off.
We ate atbApplebees a couple of time and the bill including tip was just over $40, the same amount lunch cost us in the park. We also had sandwiches or pizza at the condo a few times because time wise it worked for us. It saved getting dressed and going out agin if we had come back late afternoon for a swim. We didn't scrimp on anything but neither did we buy lots for the sake of buying it. We brought dollars home
I did but the daily parking fee in separate envelops for each day so we didn't have to take this into consideration.

I hope you have a lovely time

Split the money into daily amounts when u get the cash and dont eat in to many sit down restaurants, im sure u will be fine. Bring your own microwave pop corn to the parks and a few bottles of water etc. it all helps.
Eat breakfast at the villa.

We spent less than $3000 in 3 weeks including $500 on photos and a hospital trip! We had 2 adults and four children (12, 10, 5, 3). Main point is that you could easily manage on much much less if you wanted. Good tips in here, especially water and packed lunches for parks, breakfast in villa. We found cicis lovely and ridiculously cheap. Even counter service park meals arent too expensive. Perhaps stay away from full restaurants thpugh as those tips soon mount up. We worried as lots of people were saying that they spent more than we were taking in 2 weeks. Dont worry, you wont be eating character meals each night on that amount but I felt a great time could be had with low levels of spending.

What I would do, is for the first week, save as much cash as you can. Which would give a more extravagant final 2 weeks. That will be what sticks in your mind.

If you arent as "tight" on in the first 2 weeks, you might end up strapped for cash towards the end of the holiday which means you wont enjoy it as much and will be a lasting memory.
