Also any suggestions on what to do would be great as well!
Thank You!!

I was in Tokyo for 2 weeks in October 2009. I had set aside around 50$ per day to eat, but there were many days I only spent 20-30$. If you pick the right places to eat, you can find good food for cheap prices. For example, I had lunch at Yoshinoya many times, you can get a bowl of rice with meat for 3-5$. And also in Tokyo I found many ramen shops that only cost 9-12$ for a HUGE (yet it was advertised size Small) bowl of noodles.
I spent about 2,000$ doing activities and shopping. But I'm a bit of a shopaholic, so maybe you aren't going to spend as much.
DisneyLand I heard is a bit expensive, though I haven't been.
I definitely recommend Tokyo Tower, it's just 800Y and it's a really great experience. It's one of my favorite memories from Tokyo. The souvenir shop in there is expensive but my Tokyo Tower souvenirs are my favorite of my whole trip.
