Hi, Carla!
Ooh, shopping and dining at
Walt Disney World. These are a few of my favorite things! (Go ahead, sing along!)
When planning a budget for your vacation, you can really swing from budget traveler to all out signature dining and then shop til you drop! But let's plan middle of the road here, and you can plan around some very ballpark figures:
FOOD:
-Quick Service meals: about $12-$18 per meal including a non-alcoholic beverage
-Table Service meals or buffets: about $25-$55 per meal
-Snacks, ice cream treats or bottled drinks: generally around $5
SHOPPING:
-Tshirts: about $30 and up
-Mugs: about $15 and up
-Hoodies: about $40 and up
-Mouse Ears: about $20 and up
Please note these prices are very general, so you may find prices to be higher or lower. To save some money, ask for discounts if you have a Disney Chase Visa card, or if you are a DVC member or
Annual Passholder. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can charge your purchases back to your room with your MagicBand (make sure to have a credit card on file and a PIN set). If you prefer to have your meals prepaid, you may want to consider adding the
Disney Dining Plan.
Have fun shopping and dining during your magical vacation!
