We have been two times with our kids, they are now 8 and 11, both times we stayed at a Disney Moderate Resort, highly reccomend it, even if it is more, totally worth the Disney Magic.
We drive, so some might be tough, but we always buy the kids Disney mercahndise surprises from the Disney store or Wal Mart, like PJ's, plush dolls, anything Disney, look for the sale items on the Disney store web site, lots of bargins there, wait for a free shipping promo to really save some $. Wal Mart also has a lot of Disney stuff. We pack it away and keep it hidden, when we get to the resort my wife or I will go off to the room and put the items out on the beds while the other distracts the kids by checking out the pool. Then the kids come in and have all kinds of surprises. This also helps take away their urge to "want" things, since they have a room full of items, plus you got them at a bargain price.
Also, since we drive, we pack snacks and bottles of water plus we pack cereals for the room for breakfast, one less meal to buy, you can store you milk and fruit in the refrig in the room. Happy Planning!
