I tend to take more than I ever expect to spend.

Driving from Indiana....now sure of the distance but plan on filling up whatever you're driving....at least twice I would think. On the hotel I assume you mean staying 1 night somewhere along the way? I think you'd probably find something decent in the $70 range if not under that. You may find something with a free continental breakfast...that'll eliminate finding something to eat in the morning. On car trips we tend to snack alot...I'd buy snacks at home and just carry them in the car. Lunch I think you could skip or do cheaply on the road. I've actually packed stuff for lunch and eaten at rest stops. Dinner - $30 bucks or less depending on what you prefer to eat...can certainly be cheaper than that. So guessing with the above...I'd say...200 bucks for the trip down (that's 100 bucks worth of gas, 70 for your room, and 30 bucks for dinner).

A disney tip...or any theme park for that matter....they will give you FREE water at any drink stand. They're required too. Don't simply say you want a water...they'll sell you one for 3 bucks. Tell them you want a cup of water.

Have fun!!
