dinner set service for 12 image
Ashton
I am sixteen and am going on a band trip to Disney World. The bus, hotel, parks, and breakfast and one dinner is paid for, so how much would you recommend I bring for 7 meals plus some snacks for the 2 days worth of driving total? Also including souvenirs and stuff? I have $200 saved up, but I know that will barely cover food.
Answer
Let's see---
Figure a counter service lunch (burgers, fries, pizza, hot dogs, etc.) will run you around $10 to $12 on average per meal. Depending on what you eat it could be a little less or a little more.
Snacks I always figure an average of about $4 to $5 per snack-- again, more or less depending on what you want. Like the ice creams are a bit expensive (luxurious, delicious, especially dole whips at the Magic Kingdom), but you can always get cheaper bags of chips or a piece of fruit for less.
The thing that can really end up eating up the budget is soft drinks-- $2+ per soda and before you know it you've blown $25 in a few days on drinks. It's better to just get free ice water at the snack counters between meals-- water is better for hydration in the parks anyway, and you don't drop a bundle on sugar water.
For souvenirs Disney can get expensive-- depends on how much you want to buy. So we always say just set a budget and stick to it. For $10 you can come home with a nice little trinket like a mug or a key chain or magnet... for under $20 you can get a hat, a picture frame or book. A little more will get you a t-shirt.
So just decide how much you want to spend on souvenirs and stick to that.
If you want to collect cheap souvenirs try the squished pennies-- just make sure to bring change. But you can get different ones all over the parks.
Another great thing to bring home is ride photos-- they're expensive (I think around $20) but you can get an 8x10 of you & your friends at exciting parts on certain rides, like coming down Splash Mt. or something.

How do you dress for Cruise dinners?
<3
I am going on a Cruise in November with one of my best friends and her family. They been on a cruise before but this is my first time. I've heard through a few people that the dinners are pretty dressy. I was wondering if anyone had been on a cruise and could give me a few ideas as of what would be appropriate to wear. We are going on a Carnival Cruise. Any advice for going on a cruise for the first time would be helpful too. Thanks in advance for your help.
Answer
I wore a cocktail dress for the captain's dinner when I took a Bahamas cruise(on Carnival, incidentally! LOL). I would suggest something semi-formal: a cocktail dress as mentioned, a nice skirt and blouse, or semi-formal pants with a nice blouse.
I would advise against wearing jeans of any kind, including miniskirts. Have fun!
Other cruise advice: bring the following:
sunscreen, a hat or two, sunglasses, extra cash for tipping service staff, and easy-to-wear shoes, among other things. BRING DRAMAMINE or BONINE if you're prone to seasickness. If you're not sure, take one tablet of the above when you board just to ward off seasickness.
***above all: ALWAYS have your passport, room key and dining card/cruise "account" card with you! They are your two forms of ID onboard a Carnival cruise, and you will need your dining card/cruise account card to get on and off the ship when you dock at a port of call.
***Don't worry too much about your cell phone; turn it off and leave it in the armoire in the cabin, in fact. There are computers onboard for Internet use, but you will pay for Internet time and it's expensive. Just use the time to relax!
***MAP OUT your interesting destinations right when you get onboard. Locate the gym, spa, game rooms and clubs, or anywhere else you might be interested in going on the ship. Use a website(you can find them through Google) to get a floor plan of your ship before you go if possible. Makes it that much easier.
***There will be a midnight buffet! Make sure you get to the appointed dining room in time, but not late. UNlike popular belief, the buffet will actually start at 12:30, but they let people in to look at the food and ice sculptures beginning at midnight.
***ALWAYS have a camera with you! If you own a digital, by all means, bring it, but you might want to have extra batteries, or a disposable on hand just in case you see a great photo op.
***Carnival is a cruise line that requires a 21 year old to be in a cabin with any under-21 guests. Your friend's parents may or may not know this.
***You will need a credit card before you board, when you check in at your departure port. This is to set up your Cruise Account.
***Identify your luggage in some way so it doesn't accidentally get misplaced, and PRINT CLEARLY your cabin information on the tags the stewards give you. They will bring your luggage to your cabin for you.
***On the last day of the cruise, have your luggage outside your cabin door before midnight. The stewards will collect it for disembarking.
***Make note of your muster station at muster drill the first day.
As I said, have fun! Cruises are an enjoyable experience.
