Did you know that you're allowed to bring your own food and drinks into Disney parks? If not, now you do! It's one of my favourite policies because it saves a ton of money. The suite at our hotel had a kitchenette, which we stocked with food from a local grocery store. Eating breakfast in our room and packing lunches along with a day's worth of snacks saved us big bucks, and we conveniently stored everything in an insulated lunch cooler with an icepack in the bottom of our stroller.
Although we packed our own food for most of the trip, we did dine in Disney a few times. My daughter's birthday dinner with all of the princesses cost a small fortune, but we didn't stress when the bill came since we were saving so much money on food overall. Plus, the experience was worth it!
And don't forget water! No matter what time of year you visit, Florida weather is hot, and it's imperative that you stay hydrated. We brought our two half gallon Yeti ramblers, which we filled with ice and water before we left the hotel each morning. Based on how many times we refilled our smaller bottles, we estimate that we saved about $35 a day on water alone, since Disney charges $3.50 per bottle.
