I will be staying at WDW later this year with my almost 2yr old daughter...hotel is paid, pass is paid....I am budgeting $100(total) per day for meals, snacks and souveniers. Breakfasts will likely be in our room, and DD will share my meals . Since we are on our own, we likely won't do many "sit down" meals, but more likely counter service or food court at our hotel (ASMo). Does $100 seem a reasonable amount?
 
Unless you are buying your daughter a "princess" dress a day, which with a little girl I know is tempting :) , you should be doing fine.

When I travel with my 4 y.o. son I don't budget nearly that much. Maybe $75.00 and that is if we are having a sit down and we are buying some "stuff". But often, we are under $50.00 a day easy.

Have a great trip!
 
We just came back from a 10 day trip (family of 6) and my mom is diabetic -- meaning she HAD to eat often and we truly kept our expenses to under $120 most days. There were days when we had special character dinners, our Anniversary dinner and the like that we spent $140 just for one meal, but again that was for SIX of us!!! We packed a lot of snacks because my mom is a diabetic, we needed to have things on hand JUST IN CASE, and with 3 children, we also like to have things for them to munch on if we are waiting for the bus, etc. So I think $100/day is more than enough!!! Our girls are older than your little one and they had their own money to buy their 'trinkets', etc., and they spent it wisely -- always amazing how they WATCH each cent THEY spend, but when its Mom/Dad's money there is NO LIMIT!!! LOL
 
We are bugeting only a little more than that for a family of four! you should be fine. Some days we have only spent $50.00 for all of us, only eating twice and snacking in between. Other days we spent 200 though!
 

That should be plenty. I think a 2 y/o can eat free at most places. For a 2 y/o, I would plan on eating @ The Crystal Palace w/ Pooh, Eyeore, Tigger & Piglet, we took both of our kids when they were each 2-1/2 and they loved it. Our kids will be 4 & 7 our next trip and will probably still go back, it's a happy place.
