Hi there! Coming at you with another Quick Tip on this Tuesday.
When I plan a Disney trip I like to budget my spending in categories, one of them being souvenirs. It is so easy to spend oodles of money on all that great Disney Merchandise. When I walk into a shop whether it’s in a resort, park or Downtown Disney, it is very difficult to restrain myself from filling my arms with the many wanted items I find. The same goes for our kids! If we get overwhelmed with temptation, then of course they do as well.
I find creating a spending budget that is reasonable for our family really helps us to stay focused and not go into a Mr. Toad’s Wilde Ride spin! To take it a step further, I break our spending budget down per person. The important thing is to discuss with your child, ( in an age appropriate manner) what a budget is and show them how much money they have to spend on souvenirs of their choice. Go to a local Dollar Store, Walmart, Target, or even the Disney Store and let them pick out a cool Disney wallet to keep their personal spending money in!
This budgeting tip will save you money in the long run and possibly a melt down or two 😉
