Food saving tips:
- Use the menus available online to plan your meals and budget costs. Last year my sister and I even "pre-ordered" food for our families from the CS places. we wrote down what we would want for the family (our family shares food) and the cost. When it was time to order we just read off our card. Saved us time and also kept us from impulse ordering when we were hungry.
- share snacks too. I usually carry some dixie cups in our backpack so we aren't drinking after each other and can carry only 1 or 2 water bottles. I also use those to split up ice cream treats or other things.
- If you have a place to cook, plan your cooked meals just like you would your ADRs, taking into account what time you'll be back at your place and for how long. We tried to eat breakfast plus 1 other meal a day at the house.
- If you're driving, you can pack food on dry ice and it will be "assembly only" cooking at WDW. Read about how we did this on
my blog, here.
