02 / YOUR DAY, CONNECTED
One anchor. A food stop. A little room for magic.
Build a starting plan you can copy into the group chat or print for your bag.
Selecting a stop fills its suggested admission allowance in My Budget. Change it to your actual quote, including the right age categories.

Your plan is a self-guided starting point. It does not reserve tickets, make restaurant bookings or confirm a venue is open on your chosen date.
03 / MORE CITY. FEWER SURPRISES.
A New York day with a number you can live with.
Adjust every allowance. See the group total before “just one more stop” becomes a very expensive sentence.
Amounts are in USD. Defaults are editable planning allowances, not live ticket or restaurant quotes. The default $6 transport allowance represents two $3 full-fare subway/local-bus rides; reduced fares, free transfers and fare caps may change your actual cost. Official MTA fares ↗
For 2 people
$45.10 per person
Subtotal: $82.00 · Buffer: $8.20
Use a per-person average when adults and children have different prices. Add tax, tips, rental skates, mandatory fees, parking and any other required costs to your allowances. Hotels and flights are not included.

Are these tools free?
Yes. No account or payment is required. Optional custom planning, digital downloads and third-party bookings are separate purchases.
Will this check live opening times or book my tickets?
No. The tools suggest a starting plan from our curated guides. Open the organizer and booking links, confirm your chosen date, accessibility needs, age rules and final price, then make any required reservation.
Where are my saved ideas stored?
In this browser on this device, using local storage. They do not sync between phones or computers. Private browsing and clearing website data may remove them. Copy or print your day if you want another copy.
How does the budget calculator work?
It multiplies each per-person allowance by your group size, adds whole-group extras, then adds your chosen percentage buffer. Defaults are estimates; replace them with quotes including taxes and mandatory fees. The result is not a payment request.
