Cost for food each day?

[mask_w03]

Ok what is the cheapest i can do for cost of food a day while at the parks? We are hoping to do breakfast every day in our room at Saratogo and we have a full kitchen and stove so I'm hoping we can do a few lunches and maybe 2-3dinners in the room so that can cut costs just a little bit.

But what is a good estimate to how much we will spend a day on food at the parks. I'm trying to go cheap for 2 adults and a 20months old who will most likely just share my food.

Thanks,
Margaux

I would say About $50.00 at the most for 2 adults. Thats with eating breakfast at your room and CS lunch and dinners. You can also cut your price down if you eat meals that you can share. i have never used these tips but plan to on our next trip in 2 weeks!! You can order the double hamburger and get an extra bun, order off of the kids menu ( the portions are plenty big enough). You can also pack some little snacks and juice drinks in your diaper bag so that way you don't have to spend so much money on snacks and it will also keep the little one happy in a pinch!
You can also look at the menus on allearsnet.com and you can get an idea of your food options for each park and the cost of the food!
Hope this helps
Have fun!

When we went Jan of 04 I kept track of every penny we spent on food. We always ate breakfast in the room, then sometimes ate late lunch early supper combo or had seperate lunch and supper, it just depended on the day. We never spent more than $75 except for the one day we had breakfast at CRT. That was for 2 adults and 2 kids. We also took snacks and water in with us in a backpack.

When we went last year, we ate a filling breakfast before we left our room, and took some snacks (peanut butter crackers, granola bars, etc) with us. We ate some of our snacks around late morning / early afternoon, then we had a counter service lunch around 2. We weren't really hungry again other than to get a mickey bar or some popcorn later in the evening. If we wanted more than just a snack in the evening, we would split a counter service meal. If you did this, you could probably get by on $30.00 a day for food. I think we just bought one counter service meal and one snack each day (not including the snacks we brought in with us).

This worked out good for us, because we went in May and it was hot. I didn't get as hungry because of the heat, and I felt better by snacking rather than stuffing myself 3 meals a day.

I Eat a Big Breakfast before i go to the parks .Eat snacks that I bring with me(bars chips etc ) then i leave the parks around 2 to get a cheap meal ( Parks are hot and bussy at this time ) return to parks around 3:30/4:00 stay till closing time then have a very light meal in my room . Last winter DW & I spent less than $20:00 a day on food ( While at DL )and we where never hungry . We had less than $500.00 to cover food and spending money during a 9 day Quickly planed trip to DL ( Won free Airfare )
