Florida - how much do you need?

[curiousgeorgie]

We've booked 2 weeks in Florida for this September. We're staying in a Villa very near to Disney Maingate and are flying with virgin and that's all done.

I know we need Park Tickets, food, souvenirs for kids almost definitely...

There are myself & DH, our DD1 who will turn 4 while we're there and our DD2 who will be 15 months.

(Also coming are a couple of friends, my brother and my parents.)

Between now and when we leave I want to save all the money for out there... But how much?

(And any tips gratefully received )

I was surprised how expensive Florida was when we were there last year. Don't think it is as cheap as it used to be. Obviously you will pay a premium for food and drink in the parks, think about £3 for a soft drink and £10 for a quick meal like a sandwich or pizza.
Food shopping supermarket prices were similar to the UK, eating out in non Disney restaurant slightly cheaper than UK but massive portions so possible to share.
It really depends on your plans, eating in Disney and the parks can easily run to £40 each a day-more if you are booking character meals!
