We keep talking about trying other parks , but we took the kids to Magic Mountain, and even they were a little disappointed! DW wants to go on a cross country drive after I retire, and visit relatives in the midwest, then go to the Hersheys park and Dollywood (I want to continue to WDW!) and back, but thats a long trip and I don't wanna leave the grumpy pups, plus kitty in the kennel that long!vixen101485 wrote:Actually WDW is rather cheap when it comes to prices for amusement park food. Hershey on the other hand..OMG 13$ for a hamburger(single) and small fry. yeah right, I aint that stupid, we took a cooler and put it at the picnic tables outside the gates. A bit of a pain, back and forth but no way am I shelling out that kind of cash for food.
I figured out for the 3 of us to eat breakfast lunch and dinner for 5 days in FL (and not including food on the road--cooler) will only come to like $300. If we can get a good rate for the off-site hotel we want, they have free continental breakfast (good for me, I dont like a big brekkie) Late Lunch at CS, snack, and maybe Dinner at CS or wait till we get back to hotel area and eat cheap at a buffet late. That is 4 breakfasts per person free. That doesnt include dessert, that is what the snack is for, and sharing drinks. All Hail, save money girl. I will have little stuff for Meghyn to snack on if she really is hungry. (you practically have to starve her to make her eat a real meal) Plus the hotel we want has a fridge and micro in it so I can have water bottles cold for the parks and leftovers to store for late nite munchies.
When I travel for work I always try and stay at the Hampton Inn or Residence Inn for that reason..Free Food!!
