How much money should you take to Disneyland for food?

We have two sample menus to help you feed a family of four for under $100 at Disneyland, even if you eat all three meals in the Resort (and snacks!). Even if you decide not to bring in your own snacks or sandwiches, you can still keep your food budget around $100 per day for a family of four in the Disneyland Resort!

For us, each meal (for 4 of us) costs around $60 (except when we make reservations, and those meals are usually double that), and I splurge on some snacks at around $40 each day.
