Dinning Off Property

Dinning is one of the most expensive parts of a Disney vacation. Quick service meals tend to be the cheapest, and by cheapest I mean usually $40-45 for the four if us. We will be cooking most of our meals in the house that we are renting. But we will have to eat out on the days we are at the park all day.

During the 2013 trip, we learned an interesting trick. Instead of fighting the quick service lines, the crowded dinning rooms, trying to find a table with four chairs, balancing our food on a tiny table while people run into you because you have to sit in the walkway, and paying the a big price for burgers and fries, we could just eat a snack that we brought and wait to eat until we left the park.

Parking lot to our rented house was never more than 15 minutes. There are all kinds of fast food on Rt 192 with cheap value menu options that could give is the reward of eating out without all of the expense! We could get more food (and sometimes better food) and save $25-30.

Occasionally we would splurge so we could have an experience, but usually we were just eating to fill our bellies - and we can fill our bellies cheaper.
