My husband is the type that when we are on vacation - he does NOT want to worry - about anything. That's what he is taking the vacation from...so we don't normally 'cut corners' - such as breakfast in room, or bringing snacks...it's a hassle to him, and he'd rather splurge once a year and buy what he wants/we want...

this year will be a bit different. We're staying for longer - a whole week. That's a big deal for us for WDW. We always stay 7 days at the beach...but not at WDW. We have to save enough money for us to do that. He won't put a vaca. on the CC.
So - we are staying at a value. We are also bringing the kids breakfasts, because we usually spend alot of money on food they are too excited to eat. Neither one of us are breakfast eaters, so we will probably grab something in the parks, etc...

I'll have to bring snacks for baby. No biggie.
We have access to the outlet Disney store for all the parks in St. Augustine, so sovieners come in a different form for us - stuff we can't just get anywhere...we don't really cut corners there, either...but we do limit the kids on what they can buy. It has to all fit into the budget we've saved...or else we don't do it!
