Couple questions first. Have you already booked flights from New York to Orlando and back? And, do you have your NYC hotel(s) and WDW hotel(s) booked?
Both NYC and WDW can be expensive, depending on the location of your hotel.

I can tell you that 'I' could spend in a range from $3 to $5 thousand easily. It really depends on what you mean by gifts and clothes.

Food depends on what your dining choices will be - fast food, or sit down? upscale or family type places - for instance while at Disney for dinner you could do a sit down buffet for $50 tax and tip per person or easily $100 per person for a signature restaurant. If you drink alcohol and order bottled wine, it will be more.

On your cruise will you be doing stuff while in port? You must figure in those costs. Also there will be tipping for the staff - figure 20% roughly.

I will give this one a shot.

My husband and I probably spent about $120 each per day to eat while at DisneyWorld. Some days were more, some were less, but a high estimate is $120. We had a simple breakfast in our rooms most days. Days that we had a sit down breakfast at a restaurant, we found we skipped lunch because we were still f full from breakfast.

New York City has such a wide variety of price points for eating, it is going to be hard to figure out an estimate without knowing your location and eating habits. I would suggest looking up your hotel, and then checking out to see what restaurants are nearby and what you might eat at those restaurants. You could pay more than $500.00 each for a meal, or pay $75.00 each for a day. Also this would depend on your drinking habits. Most alcoholic drinks cost $9-16 each. A modest bottle of wine at a modest restaurant might be around $40.00. Prices will vary greatly.

If I were estimating for myself I would base it on the following habits:
I do not eat fast food
I don't need to eat at the hottest restaurant
I drink moderately, 2-3 per day when I'm out on vacation

I would estimate for me and my hubby approximately $200 per day. That would include a simple breakfast at the hotel (~25), an average lunch such as pasta or a hamburger (~60) and a sit down dinner somewhere clean (~115).

However, lunch might be skipped, it might be a quick salad. Dinner might be a couple of slices of pizza. It is possible to eat in NYC for way less than $200 per couple.

I am not even going to raise the issue of clothes or gifts. That is something that I might set a budget for ahead of time, and then stick to the budget. I could easily spend thousands, or spend 50 bucks. That is a very personal choice I can't even guess at.
