[quote=Anonymous]$20 for a souvenir AND lunch in this area?  That's insane.

Are you one of those parents who only buys their kids clothes and shoes from the thrift store and only if it costs under $5?  Or one of those parents who never lets their kids have 'junk food' so anytime they're away from home, they gorge themselves?

Last summer camp program my DD went to, they had a few day trips where they were allowed to buy food at the location or bring a bagged lunch.  They specifically put on the permission slip that if your child was going to buy lunch there, at least $25 was recommended.  I gave her $40 when they took them to the water park where there are no souvenirs just because I know how pricey food and beverages are there... $3.25 for a bottle of water that gets warm very quickly on a hot day.

Here's what she bought that day for lunch and snacks...

Lunch -
Burger (no fries included) $6.50
Water $3.25   
 
Water $3.25
Fries $4.25

Ice cream $4.75
Water x2 $6.50

Total $28.50
