Spending Money Questions

Sorry I have bombarded the board with tons of questions today. Hopefully this should be my last one!

DH and I are trying to come up with a reasonable amount of spending money for the trip. We have decided on an amount for tips and extra food, above the dining plan, now we are on to how much we need for general memorabilia. The kids already have enough stuffed animals, toys, and clothes so we are going to try and avoid that. The only exception may be the box of Mr Potato Head Parts and My Little Pony Accessories. We might just try and stick with one set of mouse ears for the kids. Do you guys have a ball park idea of how much Mouse ears run? We already have a lanyard and a few starter pins. I am trying to think of what else I may be missing. We are huge picture people so I will be taking advantage of EVERY photopass opportunity. I am trying to avoid spending a lot of money on stuff that will have to haul home just go into a drawer until the sad day when it gets shipped off to goodwill because of neglect. DD is four and obsessed with the princesses so I am sure she will ask for lots of those items and DS is 15 months and probably couldn't care less about all of the stuff. DH won't buy anything and my only weakness is scrapbooking. Thank you guys for your input!

One thing we got on our trip in January that we still us A LOT is a large cup with straw. I've seen them at Goofy's shop in DTD but we got ours in the Coke shop in EPOCT. I can't remember the exact cost but I'm pretty sure around $11. My DD got Minnie ears and shoes while my niece got a princess-type top (looks like a pointy hat with flowing fabric - all plastic) with slipper type shoes. The cup is standard then you get to "make" your cup with top and "shoes". I can't remember what they had for boys as DS had no interest.


If you decide to get them, little advice. Take the ears and shoes off before they go in the dishwasher. They hold a LOT of water that is very difficult to get out. And since that part does not hold liquid it really doesn't need to be washed.
