How to Enjoy the Food at Disney When Sticking to a Budget

7. Review menus before your trip

You can better plan your dining experiences around more affordable restaurants if you review all of the possible options in advance of your trip. Prices vary based on the restaurant and dining experience around the Walt Disney World Resort, and if you let your stomach speak for you when you’re in the parks and hungry you’re going to find yourself at the closest but not necessarily the most affordable restaurant.

8. Bring your own food

Did you know you’re able to bring your own food into the parks with you at the Walt Disney World Resort? The absolute cheapest way to eat in Disney is to bring food with you--if you’re not into packing full meals, bringing snacks especially for the kids is never a bad idea. It’s convenient to have some snacks in a bag and ready to go when the kids want them and it will help save you money over snacking throughout your trip.

9. Skip the water bottles

Instead of buying disposable water bottles throughout your trip, bring your own refillable bottle or ask for a cup of water at quick service restaurants. Buying water bottles (especially for the whole family) can really add up, and you’ll save lots of money by sipping on free water instead.
