Tips To Save Money Mainly Food?

[zapatabe]

I was just wondering if anyone had any tricks on saving money, especially on Food? LIke what's good to bring that 's not easily squished? And I've noticed I have been to Disneyland alot but I've only been only to a couple of restaurants and which are the cheapest and how expensive is the Blue Bayou?

My favorite restaurant inside the parks is Rancho De Zochale or something like that(the mexican place by big thunder). For about $10 you'll be full for the day. They have nice sized portions for a resonable price.


As to what doesn't get squished. If you like cold pizza that's a good option

Bring snacks and just eat outside the park. I say bring ur own soda and water . Soda is $2.75 and bottled water is the same. Just buy it at walmart or food 4 less and bring a few in a back pack

I usually try to eat a big breakfast on the way to Disneyland. Eating in the car or getting up early in the day to eat. I always bring bottled water or 2 in a backpack. Um, snacks usually vary. Sometimes I put them in my pocket if they fit. Oh yeah, I bring beef jerky. Lunch time I usually buy a clam chowder bowl from that little "hole in the wall" restaurant to the side of Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square. I also get French Fries later on. Was there something about the French Fry place near the River of America dry dock being closed?? Then theres the Pineapple Whip! I could some of that yummy stuff right about now. If I do buy food at the park, I get a cup of water instead of soda. Then after leaving the park, I grab a big dinner. Lately I've been going to the McDonald's on Harbor BLVD across the street from DLR.

But I've been avoiding the park food for so long, I would like to try their food now. Except the Village Haus, I'm still not sure about that place...

We never want to buy the water or carry a bottle around. So the thing to do is to just ask for a cup of water when you buy your food. CMs will give you a big ol' cup of tap water with ice that you can carry around the park. It's free!

We always take those little snack bags of teddie grahams or cheese-its, raisins, bottled water, juice boxes for the kids, and we like to eat at Red Rockets because the portions are larger and less expensive. It's pretty expensive to eat at Blue Bayou, by the way. Last time we had a meal there, entrees were between $18-$25 each.

At most Disneyland restaurants, you can ask them to leave off the side dishes and the price will drop accordingly. Of course, only do this if you don't want the side dishes.

Bring your own water into the park. Try and get a hotel that servs a continental breakfast. I always enjoy eating in the park at least one meal. We Loooooved Red rockets! We ate there at lunch and were stuffed for teh rest of the day!
but there are many resteraunts outside of the park including McDonalds.We ordered Pizza one night and of ocurse had leftovers the next day.
