Eating every meal in a restaurant is expensive whether you are at Disney or any other vacation spot. We've done the Fort Wilderness cabins and made a trip to the local market for cereal, milk, water, snacks, etc. We usually do either lunch or dinner at a restaurant but never both. The other meal is usually a snack or pizza or fruit cups. We bring a water bottle for each of us and fill it in the hotel and put it in the fridge overnight. During the day we refill at the water fountains.
When we do buy a soda we get 1 and share it between 2 of us. Same with fast food - buy less and share.
As soon as we decide we are going to Disney, we begin using our Disney VISA for EVERYTHING - gas, groceries - the stuff we would normally use a debit card to purchase. We pay off the balance each month. We can usually buy the park tickets with the credits from the Disney VISA - which is a big savings.
