I think it's fair. Our first trip we had Disney piggy banks from the dollar store for the kids that couldn't be opened without a can opener and they saved money from allowances and b-days etc. for their spending money - they were 6 and 9 then. It's not like it was much, although $2 they couldn't spend on a bag of candy at the corner store probably was to them, but I think it's good to give kids an incentive and a goal and see that things don't magically appear - you have to work for it. No matter what age they are.
Also, since you are from Canada, do either of her parents collect air miles? Or any grandparents? You can get Disney tickets through airmiles for free. If you have an avid airmiles collector in the household that might make a great gift for her. (Check out the Canadian Board on here if you're looking for more info on how to maximize earning airmiles!).
Also, check if your parents have a credit card that includes emergency medical protection out of country. Many do, and if her trip is booked on one of those credit cards, she may be covered as a dependent. (Fellow Canadian here!)
I think you're a pretty fantastic sister! BTW, if she's worried about missing out on school work, it might be cheaper to pay for a tutor for a few sessions if needed and pull her out of school during a cheaper time. We did that one year as my dd was starting a whole unit on math and we didn't want her to get behind.
