Vacationing at Walt Disney World is so many things – fun, amazing, filled with memories, and – it can also be a bit pricey. There are tons of ways to save money on your WDW vacation, and one of my favorite ways is to practice the preschool-taught principle of SHARING my snacks! Normally, I would never advocate sharing food – but there are some items at WDW that are too delicious (and too big!) not to share with someone you love! Here are my Top 5 Picks for meals/snacks that are shareable money savers:
Cheesy Pesto Bread at the Art Of Animation Resort – this yummy treat can be purchased for a snack credit at the Resort’s Landscape of Flavors food court – it includes two pieces of fresh bread topped with pesto and mozzarella cheese and served with marinara sauce for dipping – the perfect savory mid-day treat
The Butterfinger Cupcake at Starring Roles in Disney’s Hollywood Studios – This cupcake is insanely huge, and also insanely delicious! It’s a moist chocolate cupcake with a fudge center, and it’s topped with a mound of vanilla buttercream that is covered in a chocolate shell with tons of Butterfinger Bits in it. You may go into sugar overload if you eat the whole thing on your own – so it’s really best for your health to share it. An important side note – many specialty cupcakes here and at other locations around WDW are on the large side so they work really well for sharing
The Bounty Platter – This breakfast plate is available in some form at most WDW Resort quick service locations, and it consists of a Mickey waffle/pancake, a biscuit, breakfast meat (sausage/bacon), scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes. It costs about $9, and is definitely big enough to split between two adults (or even 3 smaller kids!) – talk about a breakfast bargain!
Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern – These big beauties used to be available at the Main Street Bakery, but luckily they have not vanished – as a similar version can be found at Gaston’s! They are served warm and fresh (and sometimes with extra frosting if you ask nicely!), and are huge – a perfect afternoon pick me up in the form of cinnamon and sugary goodness
The Disney Burger – Found all over the World, these are pretty standard as far as burgers go – many are now served on a wheat bun, and almost all of them can be topped with cheese, bacon, and other assorted condiments. They are pretty big, and come with a giant side helping of French fries – which makes this a pretty good meal to share if you’re in the mood for a burger (this particular one came from Tomorrowland Terrace and the burger was great but for me it was the fries that stole the show!)
