Disney Dining on a Dime - How to Enjoy the Food at Disney on the Cheap

5. Try Tables in Wonderland

If you'll be visiting Disney more than once this year, or if you plan to eat on property for every meal throughout your trip, you may find it beneficial to invest in the Tables in Wonderland card. This handy card gives you 20% off at most Disney World restaurants.

4. Use Your Passholder Discount

Of course, if you're an Annual Passholder, you can make use of your benefits by applying a 10% discount at many Disney eateries. In fact, depending on how often you plan to visit, how long your trips are, whether or not you're a Florida resident, and what parking is going to cost you, you may find it beneficial to purchase an Annual Pass for one person in your group for the parking and dining discounts alone.

3. Take Advantage of Free Dining

Generally, Disney offers a free dining promotion once a year during the fall. While this cannot be combined with any room discounts (meaning you'll pay rack rates) many people find that it is a worthwhile promotion to take advantage of. Look into it and see if it might work for your family.
