Answer 1

Depends on where you plan to eat out. If you're on a tight budget, you will easily spend $50-$100/day on food. Consider a nice restaurant will be $50 each for dinner, a neighborhood restaurant will be $20 each for dinner. McDonalds is much cheaper, but you probably don't want that every night. Add $5-10 each for breakfast and $10 or more for lunch and it adds up pretty quickly. If you're eating at the theme parks, you'll pay a huge premium. We always found if we ate a huge breakfast, went back to where we were staying for an early dinner and returned to the park for the evening, we could save a lot.

Consider buying food at a grocery if you have a kitchen in your villa.

Cost for gifts to take back also depend on what your talking about. T-Shirts? $20 each. Postcards? $2-3 each.

I'm not sure how 1,000 pounds translates into dollars, don't know the exchange rate right now, but assuming it's equal to around $1,500, you should be okay. There are always banks here if you run out and have a debit/credit card to use.

Enjoy your trip.

Answer 2

Yes Most definatly...you have paid for the most expensive things which are Park admission and Accomadation..At todays exchange rate you will have about two thousand american dollars which will be more than enough for a two week holiday.Granted if you wanted to you could blow it all in a Night but I dont think it would be the case for you.

Here are some tips

Eating Out

Instead ofspending a fortune at one of the Disney Character Breakfasts, take your children to Town Square at Main Street, U.S.A. in Disney’s Magic Kingdom for autograph and photo opportunities with their favorite Disney characters. If you choose to eat at the Disney World theme parks, try to make lunch your big meal of the day when prices are considerably lower than for dinner (especially at Epcot’s World Showcase).

For dinner, consider taking the family to one of the many all-you-can-eat buffets that lie outside Disney World property such as Bill Wong’s Famous Buffet, Sweet Tomatoes, Boston Lobster Feast, Golden Corral, Ponderosa, Sizzler, Captain Nemo’s Seafood Feast or Angel’s Lobster, Crab & Prime Rib Buffet. In addition, look for free publications such as I Love Orlando magazine, which contains a multitude of discount coupons for area restaurants. Also, many off-site hotels and motels with onsite restaurants offer “Kids Eat Free” deals (one child eats free per paying adult).

Shopping for Souvenirs

Establish a budget for Disney World souvenirs and stick to your budget (no matter how many cool gifts you see as you stroll through Epcot’s World Showcase!). Some of the area factory outlet stores such as Orlando Premium Outlets sell Disney merchandise at significantly lower prices than you will find at stores within the Disney World theme parks.

Have a wonderful time in Florida!!!!!!!!
