Isn't the current exchange rate about 1 USD = 1.295 CAD? and that's the straight exchange (so what you would get on a Disney Giftcard) while the VISA and MC rates would be higher, only 1.2977 I think for MC at least, except of course you have to then add the 2.5% for the exchange rate fee, so 1.33 it looks like. Not to scare you, but I'd always budget at higher exchange, I normally do at 1 USD = 1.35 CAD which gives more room.
Food budget I do 100 USD per person per day, when kiddo was younger I may have done a bit less for him but he also ate more snacks than meals, and that's only if you are only doing quick service.
Hopefully there will be a discount of some sort to help with your costs.
Any way. I'm also in Ottawa and those are nice flights, sadly it doesn't get a lot cheaper for direct here. The option is to drive to Montreal and fly from there which offers more options. Hopefully AC keeps their direct flights, they have been so bad about that lately. I know travel is a mess but why can't we get direct flights back!
