How much spending money to take on a trip is always hard to figure since you don't know exactly what you'll be doing.
It seems most amusement parks I've been to recently charge $25.00 and up for adults. If you go someplace where you pay for each ride/attraction seperatly, they can be $2.00 & up for each one. Doesn't take long to spend alot. Keep in mind that food will be expensive in these places too. We paid $2.50 for a small bottled water at a fair last year!
If you figure $50.00 (apx.) per day and watch your spending you should be alright. You'll probably have some days at the beach where you'll spend very little. And sightseeing days where the money will fly outta your hand. Just keep an eye on your total spending and budget it accordingly so you don't blow it all in the first few days and can't do anything the end of the week. And set aside maybe $20.00 for the ride home. (food!)
Buy your swimtrunks and anything else you need before you leave home. If you buy it down there, you may pay twice as much. My sister-in-law paid double for a roll of film at some attraction, compared to what I paid for mine at home.
