Dining on a budget - $100 a day with coupons

[dixonsontour]

So glad you finished these. We are definitely going to try some of the places you ate at when we go in August. The trouble we have now is that Daniel likes to order off the adult menu. Hopefully I can persuade him to share meals with me though, in order to keep the costs down. I'd much rather share anyway - it will mean I have room for dessert then

Never got round to posting this on here. Have put it in uk trip reports not the main Restaurant board as it is offsite dining - I think the US Diser's know what their chain restaurants are like Hope that is ok.

My DD is still quite happy with the kids offerings (well more than happy I don't feed her nuggets/pizza/hotdog day after day at home so she enjoys her holiday eating!)

Sharing sounds like a good plan. I did notice at Friendly's they do bigger kid meals aimed at older kids.

Did you use your AA card for any other discounts?

Yes, that's fine. It's really helpful to a lot of people, I would htink. There are always questions on how much money etc.

My DD is still quite happy with the kids offerings (well more than happy I don't feed her nuggets/pizza/hotdog day after day at home so she enjoys her holiday eating!)

Yes, Daniel always has an older kids' meal at Friendlys. To be honest, we don't always allow him to order off the adult menu but he is quite an adventurous eater and, a lot of the time, the kids menu offerings are a bit boring for him. He loves a good medium steak and even ate snails and lobster on our cruise last year.

The pizza was something else - I had one slice and we took some away with us. We did finish it eventually though.

Wow 12 of you. If it is anyones anniversary/birthday enter that and you get extra coupons. Also remember you can each sign up for coupons.

We still talk about those ben and jerry ice creams now - well worth seeking out.

Yes it's on the dibb in the dining reports section. Think I didn't know where to put it here..then never got round to it.

Good he is willing to try stuff - DD added medium rare filet migon to her approved list at Texas de brasil and was willing to order steak at Mannys this year, hope she will branch out onsite in October.

Yeah it's taking some organising! Plans done (which parks etc) ADRs for Disney meals booked & T-Shirts made. Just researching where to eat on our non Disney Dining days - so this was really well timed Thanks again. DH won't let me starting packing yet though
