How much spending money for two weeks in Orlando?

The short answer
For a family of four eating a mix of counter-service and sit-down meals: roughly $2,700-3,800 (about £2,200-3,000) for food and drink across 14 days, before souvenirs. The honest answer is a range — anyone giving you one number is guessing.
The variables that actually move the total: how often you sit down to eat (waiter meals run 2-3× counter service once you add the 18-20% tip), whether children eat from kids' menus, and whether a villa kitchen covers breakfasts.
Two rules save real money regardless of budget: pay in dollars every single time a card terminal offers pounds (the 'helpful' conversion rate is 3-6% worse), and take a fee-free card rather than holiday cash — Orlando is effectively cashless apart from housekeeping tips.
Budget extras separately and deliberately: Memory Maker, event tickets and souvenirs are choices, not surprises.
