Neat tip.

I'm sure this is not new to most of you but here is a trick that we've used a couple of times.

Pack a suitcase with breakfast foods and snacks etc.... Granola bars, jucie boxes, etc... (be careful with checking food items on a plane). Grab a quick breakfast in the room while everyone is getting ready, pack some granola bars for the park, and when the trip is done...... you'll have an extra bag to bring home lots of Disney stuff that everyone just had to have!

We normally will grab breakfast in the room with the stuff we brought, eat one large sit down meal for dinner, and snack when we get back to the room at night. If you eat a lighter breakfast in the room, then you can make your large meal pretty early (like 3:30 -4:00 ) and beat the crowds.
Only paying for 1 large meal really helps the budget!!

We did last year with snacks. Packed a suitcase, emptied it during the week then had a suitcase for all our "goodies" we bought.

I do this with each trip. It saves me from buying or forgeting important non-perishable items.
