General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: You went....How much did you spend?

Not too long ago, we would enter the park and eat our way through it. We took advantage of the 20% off coupons that came with each season pass. We typically ate breakfast at the Mill and finished with dinner at the Mine before we left. A stop at the Taffy Shop was a must.
This year, one our first trip we shared a dinner during World Fest and a cinnamon roll.
BBQ - cinnamon roll
2 ice teas
shared dinner at World Fest
$20.00 on 75% off items
$10 on 30% bbq sauce (Christmas gifts for son)
Kids Fest on Sunday - 2 coffees
cinnamon roll
2 Sarsaparilla's to go
woodworking tool (with 20% off coupon)
We'll be limiting our daily allowance to $15-20.00 per trip (that includes sarsaparilla and taffy). I'm increasingly unhappy with the food quality and pricing. It just makes more sense for us to eat before we arrive, buy a snack, and have dinner at our condo. I usually put something in the crock pot so it's ready when we get back. If I see something I really want, I will probably buy it, but it takes a lot for me to hand over cash these days. And, I think a 20% coupon should be given for each season pass purchased - it used to be that way. Now, it's one per family.

We decided to go to Riverside Ribhouse instead - the ribs were surprisingly good and it only took a few minutes to get a table. By 4:00, it was crazy crowded so we decided to leave. On the way out, we made a quick - but, no so quick - bathroom stop. The line was steadily moving, BUT the only wheelchair accessible stall was being occupied - for at least 20 min. - by a woman nursing her baby and talking on her cell phone! Geez lady, could you have chosen another one? Several very pleasant guests were speaking loudly about it in hopes of luring her out, but it didn't work! But anyway, that was the only unpleasant part of my day - that - and no more samples at the Taffy Shop.
