Also take into account the tips for the sit down restaurants, those are not included in the dining plan. $100 a day is probably good since you have all meals paid for. That way you have money for extra snacks and souvies.

Re: Disney
Also it could be swelteringly hot so you'll be buying drinks. We just returned. Waters are $2.50 each!

I think $100 is a realistic amount. What kind of meal plan did you buy? The counter service only, the basic or the deluxe? If you got the counter service or the basic meal plan, you will be entitled to 2 meals a day and a snack. You'll also receive a refillable mug. The mug is only refillable at the hotel.

Sorry you paid for water. Water is free at Disney. Walk into any quick service restaurant and ask for ice water and they will gladly provide it. I bring a water bottle with a built in filter and pour the ice water into that and carry it around.

I think you'll need more than $100 for a few days. Between an extra snacks/meals that you may want, souvenirs, and any other incidentals I would make sure to budget for more and then try to spend less. It's VERY easy to spend at Disney.........even with the dining plan!! 
Have a GREAT trip!!

Yes - $100 a day - not the entire trip.

Didn't read that way, sorry. 
$100/day makes more sense.
