Mobile how dearer is orlando since 2010

Our last visit was 2010

How much more expensive is it now for example gas, park parking, eating out
We paid on average 40-60$ a night eating out last time...

Just wondering as we used to budget $150 a day for 2ad 2 kids

The eating out prices appear to have gone down. All are doing special offers, BOGOFs etc. It's sad so many are actually closing down they can't compete with Disney Dining. Sign up with the eateries and you will receive plenty of vouchers.

it has gone up but couldn't tell you by how much

pondarose was about $20 for a 8oz fillet steak

cici was $35 for 3 adults and a child with a voucher

bahama breeze was about $40 per person

garden grill in epcot $45 per person

that was in 2012

we planed on $200 a day and still had change most days 1st day was a big spend walmart shopping but after that it settled down
the $200 included parking fuel snacks at parks and evening meal with drinks

It's a bit hard to say how much exactly. We went in 2009 and took $200 a day and in August 2014 we are taking $300 a day. We don't really expect to spend quite that much but would rather over budget than be scrimping.
You might find it helpful to go to the websites of a few of the restaurants you think you will want to go to and price up a "dummy" meal to give you a better idea. I think park parking is now $17 a day which is up a fair bit on 2009 (and so probably on 2010).
I guess you would also have to allow for an increase to your kids appetites if they have increased in size

Chili's and Applebee's are still doing 1 appetiser and 2 entrees for $20, outback had an offer on a weds, 3 courses for $13.99. We thought the supermarkets were more expensive and also the likes of bk and Wendy's.

supermarkets are definitely more expensive, eating out we usually spend 80-100 dollars a night for 2 adults, 3 little kids who often share 2 dinners between 3.

I don't stay in disney now, the cost of the hotels seem to have risen greatly over the years, I think the cost of the free dining plan is now factored into the cost of the hotel. Staying and eating off site I feel is better value than in disney these days. Even though the carrabean did have one of the most comfortable beds!

Although prices have gone up on most things, you'll find at the moment, you are getting a much higher exchange rate. When we went in 2010 mil got $1.48 to the £1 and I recall around that time it even went in to the $1.30s. Based on the above $150 was around £101 per day, today £101 will get you around $171, that's probably a fair figure to take to allow for increases
