Typical Costs When Traveling

Accommodations – Hotels are easy to find in New York. We tend to stay in Mid-Town – near Union Station and Times Square. We find it’s easiest to get to all the tourist destinations quickly from the center of the City. We usually just use Expedia to find the hotel we want within our price range.

Food – Oh my, eating through New York is the best thing ever. You don’t have to plan for snacks. There are so many options. Definately stop at a street cart at some point in your trip. From hot dogs to hallal, you can get great cheap eats on the go.

Food at Disney is expensive either way. Plan on spending at least $75/adult and $40/child per day in the park.

Transportation – We stick to Ubers or Subways when we are in town. Ubers are pricey and dicey on timing so make sure you take about double the time you need to get somewhere via car. Subways are more predictable but not always

Suggested daily budget – $175 for hotel, transportation and food. (Note: This is a suggested budget was set in 2020. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!)

Money Saving Tips

1
Walk...A Lot Living the city on foot is amazing. It's great to walk from destination to destination. You also save on Ubers if you walk in-between activities.
2
Give your kids a budget Give them a budget in cash and when it's gone, it's gone!
3
Look for Seasonal Activities Seeing the Rockefeller Tree and the fancy store windows is all free. In the summer, look for free concerts and street fairs in Centeral and Bryant Park. There is always something free to do in the City.
4
Eat at a Street Cart For just a few bucks you can get a meal for the whole family. Lots of fun foods to try and walk with to your next activity.
