Trying to help my daughter put together a budget for her trip, but not sure I've got all the necessary categories - I've got resort, park tickets, Seaworld and Universal tickets, airfare, food, souvenirs. Am I missing any other expenses?

Don't forget tips. On our last trip I tipped for meals, mousekeeping, and bellhops who helped us load and then unload.

The only thing I can think of is possibly any recreational activities that are not included that they may want to do. ie: boat rentals, pirate league, etc.

Other than that, looks good!:mickey:

Right! TOTALLY would have forgot about that! Fortunately they are doing only counter service meals so it won't be nearly as high as what we have to budget for tips.

Transportation - as in car rental, gas & parking, at least to/from Universal and Sea World, unless they're taking a taxi, then I'd add taxi instead.

Don't forget about money for those great Disney Treasures you can't live without...

Airport parking can get you if you can't arrange a ride to the airport.
As others have said you have to include spending money for the fun stuff to bring back.
