Uh, it can get pretty expensive. I live in the area, so I've never actually vacationed here, but I'll tell you what I know.

Tickets for the theme parks run about 50 dollars a day. However, if you check into it, there are multi-day passes which tend to provide pretty substantial discounts. I'd say if you really want to spend substantial time in Disney, definitely look at getting a park hopper, which allws you to visit multiple parks in one day.

Staying off-site tends to run much cheaper than staying on park property, but onsite has definite perks. Disney may be offering some pretty decent package deals right now, with the tourism crunch right now. All Star, their cheapest resort, runs somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-150 a night. I know Universal lets their resort guest use their room keys as automatic Express passes, which cut lines down to less than 15 minutes.

Keep in mind that now to about early November is about the slowest season area theme parks have. There should be good discounts availible.

As for food, eating out does get expensive. Prices at the parks are at a premium, so you may want to look into eating breakfast off site, and then bringing snacks into the park to munch on during the day, thus cutting your expenditures for food down a lot. Keep in mind you can also leave the park and return later if you get your hand stamped at the exit and hold on to your ticket.
