I used to be that guy. My wife, with her infinite wisdom, told me to man up and enjoy watching the kids having so much fun. I took her advice and actually enjoyed myself. That was many years ago and now we are doing the same thing again with grand kids.

Regarding budget, 10k sounds fine if you are okay staying outside the park. You can get a very nice room for less than 2k for the week. Check booking.com and see for yourself. Park ticket prices are $109 per day adult so even if you went 7 days, that's 2k more. That leaves 6k for everything else, or 1k per day. To me, that's doable. Of course if you want to go for it, you can eat up 10k in a hurry.

Have fun being a kid again!
That's definitely a good attitude to have... and in reality I'm sure once I'm there I'll make the most of it.

What can you spend $1k per day budget on outside of food? If the tickets and hotels are all booked already.... $1k a day seems a bit excessive...
