Forget the french fries!

My el cheapo meal at Pecos Bills last wednesday was good and cheap.
One adult burger (no cheese) and l milk. Total $5.29

Topped the burger with muschroom, onions, lettuce, tomato at toppings bar.

Excellent. I didn't want the french fries loaded with calories and save about $l.50 on total order.

Good idea. Usually skip the fries myself on meals.

Can you do this at all the counter service places? I thought you had to take the fries.

kaitysmom, I think this is an option at most counter restaurants. Can't hurt to ask!

You're right. I am really glad to know this. DD hates fries and I don't need them

Always an option to skip the fries. You can also replace them with something (usually a little bag of carrots, sometimes an apple), but, IMHO, just skip the fries. $1.50 for a little bag of carrots is steep!

Disney doens't list this on the menus. So you just have to ask.

I had the chilli-cheese fries at Pecos last night ( I'm on vacation-I'm going to eat bad) and my friend asked if I thought they would have substituted the carrots.

We often do this. The orders of fries are huge. For the 3 of us, we'll just get one order and the other 2 of us just get the sandwich. Saves us $3 at each counter service meal.

If you want to go even cheaper, order the double burger and split it with a friend. The double burger is only about $1 more than a single, but cut in half it's plenty for two people.

Wow -- on my last trip to Disney, I became quite addicted to their fries...so yummy! Can't imagine cutting them out. Of course, my husband and I don't eat much at our meals anyway, so we cut our spending by sharing meals. Makes them VERY cheap!! Bring on the fries!!!

I find after a few days at WDW I don't even want to look at another french fry - they seem to come with everything!

I liked how at Beaches and Cream they gave us the option of fruit or fries. I always got the fruit....of course, I never ate it because I dislike fruit, but it saved me alot of unnecessary overeating.

I don't think I had one fry during our last trip.
