Help!

Help I'm going to Disney for the first time in 18 years! We are going to stay off site at a time share, and will have a tight budget.
What are the best places to eat and how much will they cost??
I will have my DH and DS3.
Thanks for any help

It depends on where you want to go. You can check Allears.net for menus and I believe the prices are on there can't remember if they are. If you are on a tight budget world showcase has nice places from what I have heard and read about (this is also our first trip to WDW), but they seem to be in the price range of 15 and up. Most char breakfasts start at 18.99 based on the menus I saw. Dinners at char places can run 27.99 at some to 40 per person for Cinderellas royal table. It really depends on how your budget is what you can afford to spend on meals every day. You might also want to check on the Dining Plan it is 38.99 per day per person. This will cover a counter service meal, snack, and a table service meal per day. Edited cause I missed the part of you staying in a time share offsite, so the dining plan would not be avalible for you. Sorry about that.

You can save $$$ by eating breakfast in your condo or stop at Mickey D's and grab some cheap on the fly. A few counter service places in each of the parks also offer decent priced breakfast. Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom. There is a place you can grab bfast sandwiches in Future World at Epcot (can't remember the name) and you can get bakery items in MGM at Starring Rolls I think. For lunch you can eat cheap at Pecos Bill or Cosmic Rays. At Pecos you can order Double Cheeseburgers and purchase an extra bun (like .79) and you get two for one. My honey calls this the best deal in the Magic Kingdom. They have a great toppings bar. My kids love to eat there. They actually asked to do so on our next trip coming up in december. At Cosmic they have a good 1/2 chicken dinner that is cost effective especially if you share. The hot dog stands are pretty cost effective. At MGM you can eat at Pizza Planet and there you can get a combo with pizza and salad. Lots of counter service places available in Epcot and you can choose whatever country's food you feel like eating. The fish and chips place in UK is pretty good. If you want to feel like Fred Flintstone you can grab one of those giant smoke turkey legs. I think they taste like ham but I swear they look prehistoric and people like to stare at you while your eating them. It's humorous I guess. Kids meals are pretty cheap at the counter service places. I think they are like $4 maybe. Just some ideas for staying on a tight budget but still eating decent. All Ears has menus of all of the sitdowns and counter service places in the parks and they do list prices so you can get a good idea of what you would be spending and what is offered. Good luck!

Why not order your groceries and cook yourself? It's much cheaper and you still get to enjoy all the parks that way

Pack your own drinks and snacks too, apparently they're generally allowed in the parks.
