Budget Ideas

[brandip22]

We'll be in the World Oct 8-12, staying at OKW. We will only be doing US/IOA and one MNSSHP this trip. Any budget ideas for food? We already have the 7 day passes and the MNSSHP passes. We will mainly eat CS I guess. We will eat at CM the first night as we always do and once at Margaritaville. Other than that, what do you suggest? TIA!

Oh, here is what our plan is so far if it'll help:

Monday, 10/8- Arrive in Orlando via our car around 3 PM. CM at Contemp at 5:30.
Tuesday: US from 9 AM until closing at 7 (or if done earlier, then): CS meal for lunch- not sure where; Dinner ressies at 8 PM at Margaritaville
Wednesday: IOA from 9 AM until Closing at 6; Lunch at Mythos; Dinner @??
Thursdsay: Free Day- stay at resort and/or go to DTD; lunch ??; MNSSHP at 4 PM until midnite- not sure for dinner
Friday: Breakfast at resort then leave for home


Any suggestions you have to save money on meals is appreciated. I know we will eat at Margaritaville, so you can leave that suggestion out!! Thanks

Well, it seems to me that I remember reading some posts about good places to split food. Enchanted Oak, the ribs and chicken dish I seem to remember being huge.

How many people do you have in your group? Is the dining plan a good option for you? In the off season it includes a dinner at Citywalk...

The only other suggestion I can give is to look through dining pictures of food and look for large portions that you can split. Or perhaps order an entree and a cheaper appetizer to split (or split a meal and a sweet treat afterwards! ) From what I have read, Louie's servers an inexpensive large pizza....

I saw that your staying at OKW.We just got a few wks ago.I loved the resort its was so nice and quiet.
My suggestion for food is:On your free day if you go to DTD eat at wolfgang puck express.Its CS but the portions are big and they make the food fresh and bring it out to your table. We had the pasta and a flat bread pizza with dessert and that was plenty for our family of four.
