Dining on the Run

Here are some great tips you can follow in order to save yourself and your party some time and money on your trip to Disney World.

1. Visit costlier restaurants at lunchtime, rather than at dinner; entrees often cost a bit less at the midday meal.
2. Sometimes certain Epcot eateries have early-bird dinner deals; it pays to ask.
3. Carry sandwich fixings and have lunches alfresco when possible.
4. Look for lodging with kitchen facilities: The savings on food, especially at breakfast time, may be more than the extra accomodations expense.
5. Pack kid-friendly snacks, such as fruit, cereal, or even a lollipop.
6. Don't plan on eating three big table-service meals a day. It gets expensive--and filling!
7. A souvenir mug can be purchased at most resorts, good for refills during your stay at the resort.
8. Our vacation homes and some hotels come equipped with a refrigerator, which will help you keep your home-made snacks fresh.
9. The Trail's End Restaurant at Fort Wilderness has an inexpensive, yet satisfying all-you-can-eat country breakfast buffet.
10. Eat small meals in the park and larger meals outside of the parks before and after your visit.
