[quote=Anonymous]Family size: 2 (adult and preschooler)
Length of trip: 5 nights
Transportation costs: $430 (flew)
Accommodation costs (and where did you stay?): $120/night at POP (combined a Disney discount and a CheapTickets.com discount). This was during an average-cost season.
Admission costs: 5-day park hoppers, one adult one child, $660 (bought from UT)
Misc. Spending in the parks: about $60 on souvenirs. 
Food: We did not do the dining plan. Most days we had a series of snacks combining foods brought from home (granola bars, fruit leathers, nuts, etc) and foods bought on site, then a sit-down dinner. We also did one character breakfast and one other brunch buffet. I don't have my credit card bill nearby but I think the total I spent at Disney for food and souvenirs was a little under $400.

So I guess that's $2100ish. This is for a trip taken just a few months ago.

Food is a great place to save money. Lots of snacks and one sit-down meal turned out to be a good strategy for us, especially as my kid would rather not spend ages and ages sitting in a restaurant. Hotel is the other major place to save money, especially for a big group, but for a solo-parent trip I wanted the convenience of being on site and not needing to rent a car. If you need more space and don't mind driving, I highly recommend Wyndham Bonnet Creek - but through one of the agencies that specializes in renting time share owners' points, not direct through Wyndham. A few years ago we paid $150/night for an ENORMOUS 3BR condo there.[/quote]
