How much money should a kid bring to Disneyland?

My best recommendation would be to budget about $100.00 per day for expenditures (not including dining experiences). We've gone with less than this amount and more than this amount, and find that its a pretty good figure. We usually allocate this for drinks, souvenirs, ice cream/snacks in the parks and window shopping.
