If you're on the dining plan, share your sit-down meals (they're HUGE) so you can have 2 a day instead of one. Also order bottled water instead of a soda and carry it with you around the parks. When considering a souvenier, decide before you buy if you will really enjoy it once you're home. If not save your money.

One way, like mentioned earlier, was making your lunch the main meal of the day. Since we drive to Florida, we always bring plenty of snacks and things for sandwiches, plus breakfast items. So we eat something for breakfast in our room....then a rather late lunch, and by the time we return to our room (exhausted) , we usually have a sandwich. So the lunch is the healthy meal of the day. With it being so hot, we've found that eating rather light, helps us feel less dragged out. Anyway, it works for us!! Planning for a WDW trip is always fun! Enjoy!! ºoº
Originally Posted By AuroraRose we always do counter service, or if we go sitdown, order a bunch of appetizers and share them among our group. Turkey legs are always a good solution--they're huge more then enough for two light eaters, or a an adult and child. and they're like 6 bucks or so.

If we time it right, we get our first run at the buffet with breakfast items and our second run is starting on the lunch. Since the Breakfast buffet is usually cheaper than the lunch we get the best of both worlds.
