The night before my cruise, I stayed at a DoubleTree by Hilton near Orlando International Airport. My room cost me almost another $200.

The following day, I needed to travel from Orlando to Port Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida, so I took a $30 shuttle.

Though breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included in our cruise, I spent $37 on extra snacks while onboard.

I also bought nearly $80 worth of drinks throughout the trip.

When we stopped at Disney's private island Castaway Cay in the Bahamas, my sister and I splurged on some outdoor activities.

I went a bit overboard (no pun intended) when buying souvenirs — spending more than $204.
