Mobile Shopoholics 😁

We are currently working abroad in the Gulf. Shopping is very expensive here. Clothes, shoes, makeup, products, toys etc is almost double or sometimes triple the price than in Europe & USA.

So when we go to Florida we will probably think everything is a bargain 😂

We will stay in a self catering villa. We will eat breakfast in the villa every morning and take snacks & water for the kids to the parks.

*We will probably have 1 meal out most days, apart from any rest days in the villa. Maybe we will order a takeaway in the villa.

*Park tickets, car hire etc Pre-Paid.

*2 adults and 3 children 10yrs, 4yrs and 2yrs old.

*Want to go shopping in few shopping malls and treat the kids to some toys.

21 days stay altogether.

Will $6,600
be enough? A comfortable amount?

We would like to go to RL shop, A&F, Hollister (so not talking about big expensive brands)
But we want enough to be able to buy clothes, shoes, general treats without worrying about spends.

Last time I went to WDW we stayed 14 days in self catering villa, car hire etc. with only 1 child my daughter was 4years old at the time and we took $2300 and we were able to eat in some nice restaurants and buy some nice treats too. But that was 6 years ago so prices have more than likely changed. 😁

Many thanks

The shopping places we would like to visit:

Mall of millennia
Florida Mall
Premium Outlets
Down town Disney

I am guessing that we can find some nice toys in Wallmart and supermarkets. My son is a fan of Avengers 👍🏼
Will also take the kids to the Disney Store and some of the little gift shops around the parks.

Plan on eating in places like

Logans Roadhouse
Applebee's
Cheesecake Factory
Johnny Rockets
Sometimes have something simple in the parks.

Not a fan of very expensive restaurants especially with my young children. So family restaurants and sometimes takeaway and fast food suits us better.

That's really good news. The kids will be over the moon. You are looking at paying about £24 for a little batman figure here. It's very expensive. Definitely stock up on some kids clothes too as clothes pricey here too 👍🏼👍🏼
