That seems very high.
There are two things you should be able to get great deals on in Orlando if you're travelling at a non-peak time: hotels and car rentals. Orlando is built to accommodate the peak crowds of summer and Christmas time, so when you go there at an off-peak time, there's an overabundance of supply and you can usually get pretty good discounts.
It's been almost 10 years since I went down there (but I doubt things have changed that much), and I think I paid about $140 for a week for a car.
One thing to consider when pricing out your hotels is the total cost of things. If you stay on property, you get free parking at all the Disney parks, which is $15 a day if you stay off property. Also, with free buses all over the property, you don't even necessarily need a car for the whole trip.
Also, check out if Disney is offering any package discounts. Sometimes you can get hotel, tickets, and meals packaged together for a good price.
A good site to check out for discount codes and advice on saving money in and around Disney World is:
