Re: Pleasure Island (How much spending money)?

I know when I head down I usually budget myself for $100 day. While some days I spend nothing and others I spend a lot I like keep some extra cash on hand. With the dinning plan I spent almost no money at all down in Disney. I was my GF who is not a drinker at all so if I had a few drinks a night it was a lot. No more than $25 - $30 a night for the two of us.

Two years I headed down and spent pretty much no money during the day but ended up going over $100 alomost everynight at PI. I was with my buddy who is a big drinker, one night we ran up a tab over $300 at 8trax alone. Plus at the time I was a smoker so inbetween I would head over to the places that sold booze outside of the clubs/bars and get a beer to get some fresh air.

This time when I head down with my two friends Im going to give myself $100 a day for everything. If I go over it then thats it for that day/night. If I go under than it gets overflowed in to the next days $100.

I always end up with money when I go home. With the dinning plan I feel like the only thing I buy is drinks at PI aside from a few other small items throughout the day.
