Dining on the Run

» Navigation » Orlando Vacation

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. If you desire to eat in fancy (expensive) restaurants, we suggest going at lunchtime, rather than at dinner; entrees often cost a bit less at the midday meal. Some restaurants also offer great discounts if you eat during off peak hours (2pm-4:30pm).
2. Sometimes certain Epcot eateries have early-bird dinner deals; it pays to ask. Sometimes these restaurants offer buy 1 entrée get 1 free.
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 accommodations 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 Orlando vacation homes and some Orlando 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.
