Top 7 ways to dine on a budget at Walt Disney World

There are few things more important than food however eating in Walt Disney World can become quit expensive! I know I am always looking for some money saving tips, here are some for saving money on food in Walt Disney World;

1. Drinks – make sure you are not spending all of your money on drinks while at the parks, one way to save some money here is too bring water bottles to the parks, you can refill them at the water fountains. Florida is known for it’s relentless heat so make sure to keep hydrated.
2. Kids Meals – Disney does nothing small and this is no exception, a kids meal can fill most grown adults and they are much cheaper then the adult meals. Sometimes the kids meals are much more fun then the adult meals anyway.
3. Do your research – There is so much information out there on Disney restaurants, some sites even include prices, this is a good way to see where you want to eat and how much you will be spending.
4. Bring your own food – There is a supermarket that delivers to Disney World and you can purchase things like cereal, milk, bread and other goodness so you can make your own breakfast or lunch. You should also make sure to pack your bags up with snacks for you and the children so you will not be tempted to buy a $10.00 dollar cookie if you get a little hungry while at the parks.
5.  Use Table Service for Lunch – Walt Disney World offers some amazing foods, but most of the time you can get the same food at lunchtime for much less cost then at dinner. It is great to take a break in the middle of the day to sit down for a less expensive lunch.
6. Character Meals for Breakfast – Just like having a table service for lunch will be cheaper so will having a character meal at breakfast. This is also a great way to have a meal with the characters, the kids will be more alert (haven’t had a chance to get tired) and you will save some money!
7. Use Gift Cards – the key to saving money here is buying your gift cards somewhere that will get you a discount. Target and Sam’s club often offer 5% off on Disney Gift cards

Hopefully these tips will help you out in saving a little cash while in Walt Disney World.
