a month to go panic
I am going through my normal "do I have enough money" panic that I do before every WDW trip. Convince me that $100 spending money is enough every day please so I can stop obsessing over it. I am on the DDP, so this will just be for fun money. Thanks....be back after work and hope you all have really good arguements that I have enough to play with...lol

Re: a month to go panic
Dana, the more we go, the less we spend on souvenirs. We have noticed a lot of repeats merchandise wise, each year that we go. I really think you will be fine with $100 per day. It's only you and your daughter, right?

Re: a month to go panic
Dana, $100 a day sounds like plenty to me.

Re: a month to go panic
Does that $100 include tip money for meals? I'm assuming you're not going to buy diamonds while at disney. A shirt or two, maybe a couple of pins, a few extra snacks and some bottles of water, still I think a 100 a day is plenty.

Re: a month to go panic
Since you are on the dining plan I think $100 a day is plenty. Less than $ 20 will go toward tips so that leaves more than $80 per day for snacks and a few little things. You won't spend that every day so that leaves a little more toward the end of the week.

Re: a month to go panic
Wow! $100 a day spending money would be more than enough for us, and there are 5 of us! We don't spend more than $40 a day extra and that was for all 5 of us!

Boss Mouse tip #76847: Buy cheap wine, the hang over will keep you from spending money the next day.
Your welcome.
