I would recommend holding off on purchasing your gifts until the LAST minute. That way you have that $100 in reserve if you need it.
Will the town car stop at the grocery? You could probably get better and cheaper donuts there.
Sounds like you have a good plan.

The first year we went to WDW we were BROKE! My dh was working commission only at that time and we almost cancelled our trip because of his low paycheck for the preceeding month. We ended up going and we spent $0 for souvenoirs or snacks. We packed breakfast foods that we ate in the hotel room. Bought some lunchmeat we kept in the cooler for sandwiches a couple of days. And we shared lots of the meals. You already know how large the portions are at WDW! This frugal trip was back in 1992 and we STILL talk about how much fun that trip was. And we laugh at how the waiter at Cindy's had to bring us bread like 6 times, or how he gave us 20 after dinner mints (there were only the 4 of us back then). And how we window shopped and said, "our next trip we'll come back and buy this". And we brought back "free" souvenoirs like unused chopsticks from Nine Dragons, a roll of tp with the Mickey Mouse paper over it, etc.
I think it's great that just you and your ds are going! What a fun trip for just the two of you. I've thought about going with just the kids because dh couldn't get off from work.
Have a great time, and when you come back post to let us know how frugal you were!
