How do you dine while at WDW?

[malcontent]

I'm just curious as to how most people eat while at WDW? Do you have two TS meals? One? Three? Do you simply eat on the fly?

 

[MomofLogan&Evan]

We were on the DDP last year so we ate mostly 2 TS meals a day. It was alot of food. This time, we are staying offsite and planning to eat just 1 TS and 1 CS and making breakfast in our condo to save money.

With my mouth, silly.

Actually, we usually have one counter service meal and one table service meal with snacks throughout the day.

 

[Cind]

We usually grab something quick from the foodcourt for breakfast. A CS for lunch and a TS for dinner. There are some TS restaurants that we'll only do as a lunch though.

 

[DopeyDave]

For the most part, we do one TS a day with snacks or CS to round it out. Sometimes we will do two TS's, but always at least one.

I still believe the best thing to do at Disney is eat!! The parks are only there to give you something to do between meals!!

 

[WillCAD]

I eat mostly CS, with a small sampling of TS meals spread throughout my stay.

I don't consistently eat a certain number ot TS meals per day, I just space my favorite TS meals out through my stay; sometimes this means one TS meal in a day, sometimes two, sometimes even three, and sometimes I eat CS all day long.

As for snacks, I tend to snack less at WDW than I do at home, because I'm so engaged and busy when I tour that by the time I realize I'm hungry, it's almost meal time. But I do enjoy Dole Whips, Mickey Bars, and a few treats at Epcot like a Veiled Maiden from Kringla, a Kaki-Gori, or a chocolate mousse from Bolangerie (SP?). And I drink lots of water, all day long, so few sodas

We usually eat BF in our room. Cereal and things like that. CS for lunch and then TS for dinner.

We do 1-2 TS breakfasts during the trip too. And usually one lunch.

I purchased the TIW card this time & we'll probably eat breakfast in our room for most of the week, and depending on the day go between CS & TS meals along with snacks. I think I made 4 TS ressies for the week, try not to do too many since you have to plan your day around them...as nice as they are.

Whether we go by ourselves (2 adults) or travel with family, we usually follow the same pattern, 1CS for breakfast, 1 CS for lunch, 1 TS for dinner.

Sometimes we split the breakfast and/or lunch. Occassionally instead of a TS for dinner, we will do a late TS for lunch. We have also been known to do a TS for breakfast, CS for lunch, and TS for dinner (we have a few of these planned for our upcoming trip staying at AKL - breakfast at boma!).

other than lunch at Cinderellas table maybe a snack if I am starving.

We are eating 99% of our meals off of Disney property(cinderellas table, and a dinner at Sannaa the only exceptions, we will be eating on the I-drive, downtown Orlando, and other locations instead) as the food at the parks, or at the resorts has not impressed me on previous visits.

 

[MickeyNicki]

We do CS breakfast and lunch, and then a TS dinner....sometimes we have a TS breakfast and dinner but man we are too full!

 

[Nina1]

We do one CS and one TS per day (either can be lunch or dinner, depends on which ADRs we get). For breakfast we use a snack credit or eat something light in the room (we get groceries delivered from GG). We don't eat big breakfasts when at home, usually just cereal, fruit and yogurt, so this works out well for us. Plus, we're all usually anxious to hit the parks in the morning and don't want to sit through a long breakfast. Then we snack throughout the day on healthy snacks I bring from home; although, who can resist a Mickey bar or Dole Whip when the urge comes? Our son is especially fond of the Mickey bars.

 

[Uncleromulus]

Couldn't vote. We do a TS breakfast each morning and then a TS dinner at night. Only rarely will we eat lunch and we never do snacks or counter service.

 

[nanalisa]

Depends on the time of year. If the weather is cooler and the parks have shorter hours, we have a CS lunch and TS later in evening. If it's summer months we like to have lunch at TS so we can linger in the cool and rest, then grab something quick at night to not use up precious evening time after the sun has gone down. Now with the DP I'm ashamed to say I'm a big bang for your buck type person and want to use the TS in the evening to get the more expensive meals. There I've said it.

 

[ZoZo]

No more than one TS a day (and sometimes, not even one!). We eat a quick breakfast in the room every day - saves time and money!

Because we go during Food and Wine Festival time, we often graze our way around the booths in the evening. Last trip (8 days) I think we only had 3 or 4 TS meals; the rest were CS or F&W booth food. We have our favorites for TS (Le Cellier, California Grill, etc.) but "wing it" for the rest of the meals.

 

[PoohsFan1]

We almost always have at least one TS meal per day (no matter what time of day it is either) and then the other times we are either snacking or grabing CS. However, there are a few days while we are there that we will have 2 TS meals in one day.

 

[robandkelly13]

We do one TS a day (usually a character buffet) and QS and snacks the rest of the day. DH eats a lot, but buffets everyday kill me. If DD didn't love the character dining so much we'd probably do less.

 

[jimmalru80]

2 TS meals daily and then a mix of CS/snacks.

 

[dvcdisney]

We usually have a CS for breakfast and lunch and TS for dinner. We do have a snack sometime during the day.

 

[clandoc5803]

we usually try to do one TS per day and one CS per day, with plenty of snacks peppered in. I've found that I like to mix up the place of the TS meal, doing at least 1 breakfast, then 2 or 3 lunches and 2 or 3 suppers. It gives you some variety, and allows you to save a few bucks on the cost of those TS meals
