One of the most budget-minded trips I've ever seen is chronicled in this old thread:

Just some quick budgeting thoughts

• Go during Value Season
• Stay offsite.
• Buy non-expiring tickets with the most number of days that you can afford at the time. Get them from a discount ticketbroker after shopping around for a good price. Split their use between 2 or 3 trips.
• Drive instead of flying.
• Bring snacks and water bottles into the parks.
• Prepare/eat your large meals back at your room if you have cooking facilities.
• Take-out is cheaper than sitdown b/c you don't feel the need to tack on a gratuity.
• If you're going to do a sitdown meal, lunches are cheaper than dinners.
• There's no shame in splitting meals, desserts or appetizers between people. And if you have a small appetite, go ahead and order a kid's meal.

Good luck with your planning. You'll get a lot of great suggestions here.
