Last week, I was provided the amazing opportunity to expand my Disney knowledge with a training hosted by my travel agency Magical Vacation Planner and Disney.
I packed along a box of granola bars and a water bottle to make up my breakfasts and snacks for the week.
I went into this trip with a budget of $300 for the week ($200 in cash, $100 in giftcards that had been gifted to me) Let's see how I spent it
Day 1 - Travel and Resort Day
Breakfast - I took a granola bar and water along to the airport. $0 spent
Lunch - Turkey Sandwich and water at Caribbean Beach Resorts Centertown Market $12
Dinner - BBQ Nachos at the Captain Cook's at the Polynesian Resort $12 and dessert from Port Orleans French Quarter. The rest of my group went for beignets but I grabbed a Mickey cupcake. $7
Day One Total: $31

Lunch - Qdoba. Provided by MVP. $0

Souvenirs - I REALLY lucked out here. MVP had all kinds of Disney and MVP gear for us at training. I got a metal water bottle and straw for Mark, the brand new 2024 Disney calendar for Annabeth, and a Chase Briscoe car and hat for Owen. All free!! Thanks MVP!

I LOVE sharing with my clients that Disney does NOT have to big expensive. It's just as special and wonderful when you budget, spend wisely, and stay on track while there.
