For those with young kids (mine are currently 8, 5, and 3), how do you approach souvenirs? We went to WDW in April 2022 and we gave the boys about $200 each to spend over the four park days. The two main reasons for that were we thought it was going to be a trip we wouldn't make again for many years and my parents paid for nearly everything else. Souvenirs happened to be our largest expenditure on the trip.
Now that we are DVC owners (April 2022 was the most expensive free trip I've ever taken), we will be going every year. I'm reluctant to have the same souvenir approach as we did in April 2022. But knowing my boys, especially my oldest, they will be finding something every day at the parks. How do you look at souvenirs for your kids? Do you do a certain dollar amount per park day or trip, or something else? Our boys have some birthday money they will bring in the form of gift cards and savings, along with some money we will provide. But I really don't want our WDW park days to be focused on the "stuff."
