Can anyone give any tips on eating at Disney, Cheap!?

alcohol, as 21 yo not sure if it is a favorite past time yet or not

Alcohol is very expensive at Disney. Pick up some whatever and keep it for after the parks. Will save you TONS of money!

DH suggested Cicis pizza. It is quick, cheap and filling.

Lots of good advice already. I'd add: if you want a big meal, have it at lunch instead of at dinner. If you must have a big dinner once in your trip (and I think you should spluge once), go to Land's End at Ft. Wildnerness...the best buffet dinner deal on property.
Have a great time!!

Kids meals. I order from the counter service kids menu, even here at home. I find the portion enough and it's way cheaper! A lot of water helps and someone mentioned the bakery items which is definitely a good way to go as well. One of those big muffins or pastries and a coffee keeps me going for a while. Iced lattes are filling as well. Calorie wise, well, that's another story!

My sister and I have shared burgers at WDW. Especially at Beaches 'n Cream. they have a double patty burger. We tell them that we want to share it and they cut it in half for us, place it on separate plates, and give both of us fries. Their hot dogs are also large enough for 2 people.
I'd also suggest eating at CS. Each park has CS meals in the $6 range. In MK at Columbia Harbor House, their sandwiches have a large amount of meat on them and could easily be shared.
One of the best buffet values at WDW is Trail's End buffet at Fort Wilderness. Dinner is about $18 per person. Lunch costs less and I believe breakfast is about $11. I have always found good breakfast prices at the food courts. A full breakfast is about $6 to $7.

I agree bring cooler or fridge! We always take breakfast food cereal an milk mostly for breakfast, water an our cokes for room (much cheaper than even the refill mugs an ya don't gotta walk to get a small drink) if we want alcohol we bring that too...even got cheap plastic glasses we use only at disney often take our drinks to the pool with us but we do not get intoxicated at the pool either..

CS is your best bet for meals often DH and I share a meal or I will get kids sized meal or a turkey leg an eat a few of DH's fries when my DD goes with us she and I even share kids meals sometimes.

Winter months DH and I can usually share a drink with a meal too an not need more drink when it's HOT tho we each pretty much need own drink.

A jar of peanut butter an loaf of bread can go a long ways at disney we usually go back to room for either lunch or dinner an eat sandwhich in room.
