how many $ needed in Disney
Discussion
Are you staying at a Disney hotel? If so, you can link your My Disney Experience app, your Magic Band wristband and hotel account to give you a frictionless, cash-free stay. You then settle up when you check out. Of course, you can choose to just buy stuff with cash/card at point of purchase instead.
The wristband will give you access to your hotel room, entrance to the parks (assuming you've booked tickets) and you can use it to buy food, drinks and merchandise anywhere in the DisneyWorld complex.
Can't recall exactly what we spent last year on meals but we were there for 5 days (stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort) and tended to buy 3 meals for the 4 of us (2 adults, 2 kids) which worked out as enough to feed us all. IIRC $100 a day tended to cover most stuff we needed.
I've not done the dining plan for a few years as I'm not sure it's as good value as it used to be. When we last used it, you got coupons for meals, drinks and snacks. With young children we did a similar thing, ordering fewer meals than people meaning we always had spares.

Yes in the Wilderness woods and have I think part of dining plan booked booked - not the full dining so I assume we use our bands to pay or credit card.The wristband will give you access to your hotel room, entrance to the parks (assuming you've booked tickets) and you can use it to buy food, drinks and merchandise anywhere in the DisneyWorld complex.

$100 a day sounds a safe bet. Thx

It depends what you want to buy, every few steps is a shop, the carts and food areas are quite expensive. You can take your own snacks in but not drinks, same as universal studios....
Are you sure about the drinks? We haven't been to Disney in years, but we do Universal Orlando every couple of years. I always carry bottles of water with us and have never been stopped at the gate.Spice_Weasel said:

That's sounds very light if you were within Disney for all meals, even just using counter-service.
