Re: Spending money when you have the Dining Plan?

I've also just realized with the DDP you don't get an appetizer unless you're a kid, and DH likes an appetizer now an again (I'm more of a dessert fan myself). So that's a bit extra cash too.

Re: Spending money when you have the Dining Plan?

My BF and I got just got back. We had the same plan you do, but for one week. We went down there with $500. That was it. We wound up spending probably close to $150 of it on souveniers. the rest went to tips (roughly $10 per table service) and an extra drink in the parks if we wanted it. A good thing to do with that is if you use a counter service for breakfast. You can get your bfast and two drinks *atleast in the food court of the Pop Century*

We would get our meal and an energy drink or juice, and then a powerade or vitamin water and take it with us to the park. It gave us our first real hydration of the day without having to use a snack option, or pay out of pocket. You can also refill the bottle with water. The only bad thing is we only found about 2 water fountains that had cold water!

I think the $900 should be MORE than enough! trust me! =)

It is very easy to use your Disney Rewards Points

Either request a Rewards Card online at DisneyRewards.Com or call them at 1-800-436-7999.

Request a Disney Rewards® Redemption Card as soon as you have 20 Disney Dream Reward Dollars®. Your Disney Rewards Redemption Card is accepted at most Disney locations. Only instead of paying with US dollars, you’re redeeming the Disney Dream Reward Dollars you’ve earned.

Check out this website:

Disney Rewards Visa Card - Rewards - How to Redeem

I always start with $25 and them call and add more right before I go to downtown disney or sovenier shopping.

I am going to the World in Dec 2009 and have over $700 in points and plan on using them towards christmas gifts therefore I don't feel it - it's really great.

Good Luck
