The teacher said 20 dollars wouldn't be an unreasonable amount to spent on food. The could bring snacks to eat on the way down or way back, but you couldn't bring outside food inside the park, so they would need money to eat something while they were there. They left at 6 in the morning, got to Cedar Point at 10am left at 6pm and got home at 10.
I sent my daughter a few chewy granola bars, a couple honey buns, a chocolate milk, a gatorade and an apple. She bought one of those huge cups for 8 dollars, and refills were 2 dollars. She also bought some fruit ice stuff. She didn't buy any food while she was there! She was too cheap. She played some video games and bought a way overprices squishy stinky ball for 8 or 10 dollars. I sent her with 40 dollars. She spent it all.
She went on every roller coaster she could, her friend went on most of them with her. She called me a few times with my cellphone, I figured she would, but she also called anyone else she had a phone number for. Spent about 9 of my prepaid dollars. She did not lose the phone. I found an awesome hipbag at walmart for 4.74. I also sent her with a disposable camera. Can't wait to see how good she is a taking pictures. She said most of the pictures were taken on the bus.

Sounds like she had a great time!

I'm glad she had a good time! It's funny how kids will spend their money on games and "things" instead of necessities like food!

Food is pricey there! You can bring your own but you have to eat the picnic pavilions right outside the park! (they stamp you) Did she ride the Top Thrill Dragster? If so do tell me what she thought. It looked way scary

I'm glad she had a great time!

She didn't get to go on the dragster because her friend wouldn't go on it.
Sounds like my Cedar point trip when I was younger, my friend wouldn't go on any of the roller coasters except the lame one that is inside a building. I wonder if they still have that one?
The church youth group is going at the end of summer, so she should have someone that will go on it with her. I will probably help chaperone that one, but I doubt I will have the nerves to go on anything too exciting.
