You can get a "taste" of Disney at the newly refurbished Disney Springs (used to be Downtown Disney). Free parking and no admissions. I've heard the Rainforest is a great place to eat. Lot's to see, and I think they still have a free boat ride on the lake. It'll be Disney prices, but nowhere near what you would spend going into the parks.
