While we all may have different dollar amounts that we will be bringing, one thing is certain among ALL of us:
Our original planned budgets have gone way up since the CIV announcements have come out.

Probably rock-bottom. I'll be happy if I come away with one autograph. My grant check is going to be only a little over 1000, but I already owe my parents almost half that for paying for my college books. I magaed to squeeze into a big room that's being split between several people so I'm getting a deal on that, but for food, I'll bring my own (shh, don't tell anyone!). Most of what's left over will be spent on tapes for my video camera. If you see a gal wearing jeans, a SW t-shirt, a black cap covered with SW buttons and filming like there's no tomorrow...that's probably me.

This is for me and my girlfriend:
- Airfare $2000 from Madrid ( Spain ) to LAX.
- Hotel $1700 for 8 nights
- Rent A Car to 4 persons ( 6 or 7 days ) $75 per person.
- Meals $400.00
- Action Figures and Goodies to buy $1000
Do you think that we will be ok?
$400 to eat 2 persons 8 days it´s ok?
$75 per person it´s ok to rent a car to 4 people, 7 days?
Thanks!

At this rate, I would say be prepared to double your "Action Figures & Goodies" estimate.

Really we will not take $1000, we will take €1000 ($1300 aprox.)
But we only want a Master Replicas FX saber, some autographs, some C4 Shirts and the exclusives Action Figures. I think 1300$ it´s ok.
But is ok $400 to eat 2 persons in 8 days?

That's only $25 per person per day, for three meals. You'll be surprised how much walking around the convention center can make you very hungry!
U.S. Goverment per diem is $64 per day per person, just to give you a comparision. I'd budget a bit more. You'll probably want to eat a nicer meal at least a few times during your stay.

I planning on $2500 for everything (airfare, admission, hotel, food, digital camera, etc). Plus I plan on being out there a few days before so I can see some of the sites since it will be my first time out there.
I've been able to increase my total budget to $3000.

Well I already know that hotel, airfare, & shuttle to and from both, is running about $800.
On top of that, figuring in how many autographs I want to get as well as artwork, I've come to about $1000 there.
So I think another $500 on top of that for food, taxis/subway/bus. Sounds decent to me.

$1500.00. I thought $800.00 was enough at C3. I was way wrong.

I have no budget. I will be bringing some cash, but anything that I can I will put on a credit card just to make life easier. We've already spent about $2000 for Airfare, Hotel, car rental, and theme park tickets, and 2 badges. We'll probably spend about another $1000 I am guessing. I really don't know. I just know that I don't really have any plans to spend a bunch of money on toys and stuff.
Someone else was asking about $25 a day for food. And I would say it is doable provided your Hotel has a free breakfast. Just don't go to a sit down restaurant every night. I've lived on much less, and I find that I eat less on Vaction because I'm too busy.

I'm not buy any collectibles or anything this time since I'm flying. So it's strictly food money. I figure about $100 a day, so $400, give or take.
