Hope this gives you a chuckle or two:
At lunch today, our family was reminiscing about our recent WDW trip. I mentioned that I had seen some good ideas on the discussion boards for eating cheaply at some of the restaurants in the parks, and maybe we would try out one or two of them on our next trip. My five-year-old DD perked up and said, "Wow, Mom, I didn't know they had restaurants there!"
I couldn't help but giggle and then I thought, "Yes!! A true cheapskate victory for a true cheapskate (me!)--to go 13 hours straight in MK and Epcot without my DD being aware of the many tempting restaurants full of many tempting treats lurking around every corner! Moral of the story: It truly is possible to enjoy the parks with a family of 5 without blowing a wad on food. (By the way, no one went hungry, either. My DDs had great fun chomping on a shared turkey leg and biting into their first Mickey bar, among other things.
) Can't wait to go again!
