Remember, Disney allows you to bring in food. So a trip to the nearby publix..(fried chicken, potato salad, slaw) and have a picnic at Poly or Fort Wilderness, or Aunt Poly's at Tom Sawyer's island..Also, you're allowed to bring in bottled soft drinks/water/etc in plastic bottles. You can ask for a free cup of ice at any place serving iced drinks.
Sam Paul another tip: order drinks, snacks, and breakfast items from the grocery store and have them delivered to your room.
Bonus tip: bring frozen water bottles in a lunch bag and leave them in a locker to thaw. You can even access the lockers throughout the day. And by noon they start turning into ice water. Really great way to have access to cold water through the day.
@Bold One yeah alot of places don't allow you to bring in food mostly because they want you to buy they're crazy expensive food.
@@mandijones8006 You can get FREE water all over Disney - at most places where they have Soft Drink machines (Versus bottles)
You should do a video about best places to sit and eat after you purchase counter service food. Shaded places, quiet places, places best for families.
Breanna Scalf oh honey... if you’re going to disney it’s not going to be quiet and if it’s in the summer- get ready to apply some sunscreen, you won’t find much shade
^ This. Even the less popular theme parks have no real shaded areas and definitely no quiet / “family” areas. Just way too many people are there, even in areas intended to be quiet or peaceful will be overcrowded and loud.
There are actually a few in Disneyland if you went there. The area around Repunzel’s stage get pretty quiet after 5. And the areas around the space mountain and star tours have some shady spots to sit down. Best place to sit and eat though is in Frontierland
haley b they need some. Magic kingdom has cosmic rays inside
Back at the resort hotel in the comfort of our room w AC is our favorite place 😃
Hey AJ! I have a great idea for you! What about a video about a perfect vacation for a young married couple with no kids? You can talk about lodging, food, experiences and everything they could do!
I like that idea.
Yes please
Basically do the same thing but without kids.
The honeymoon plan!
This video was an AWESOME idea! Not only do you get a well curated list of delicious eats, but you also get to visualize what $35 in food looks like in each of the parks and plan accordingly. Maybe at parks where the options don't seem like they'll keep you full, but you want to follow the list and save money, you could bring your own snacks? Or maybe you wanna splurge on certain days because you remember items from other videos that you wanna try other than the list ones? This was a great way to visualize for a planner like myself!
LOVE this video idea. There are so many foods in disney as a first timer, I loved seeing ideas for a full day of eating!
AJ I’d love to see a refresher on this with new options. I realize prices have increased so maybe under 45 dollars a day? Thanks for all the amazing videos.
Wow! Thanks so much! We are going in October and it’s our first trip NOT on the dining plan. Now that the kids are older they have aged up to the adult price and we think we can indulge and still hit budget. THIS is amazing.
or you can bring a backpack to a buffet and load up depending on your morale's
Anyone who does this is automatically considered apart of the Evil alignment
I'm more worried about food poisoning...
Love this video!!! As a passholder family with kids, this video really helps! And you have the classic DFB whistling music at the 2 min mark that my husband and I love lol. Thank you for taking the time to do the research and make this awesome video for us! 😃
What I love about this video is it offers a mix of quick service and table service places! And there really are so many variations of this and places you can substitute and still be under $35 a day!
I'm in Disney at the moment and my family and I have been watching your videos to help us with our stay ☺️
hi AJ, yesterday i got fast passes for flight of passage and i was literally shaking when i got them! thank you so much for all of your tips, they are so so helpful, especially for first timers :)
Loved the video! Lots of great ideas. I love the Yak and Yeti fried rice as a filling snack. There a lot you get for a cheap price and super yummy.
Great tips Aj will use all of these tips when I go to Disney next!!!❤️❤️
My mother and I split meals. Super easy to do!
Same!
kind of. my mom don't eat that much, my step dad likes to eat but he has he's own limit. my half brother well he just started to eat normal food not milk, and me and my step sister are pigs and eat everything :3
You can also order a large pizza for dinner and a large salad and feed multiple people, but she is trying to show individual options I guess.
We agree 👍
This was a fabulous idea! So many great options to try when I head down this fall. Thanks so much for this video (and thanks Jay for the idea!)
Absolutely awesome AJ and Jay. (Sounds like a buddy cop movie) I'm trying super hard to get my family down to Disney. If I ever do I'm going so armed with all the knowledges. Lol.
these videos are great and addicting. I have a trip coming up and your videos are being used for my trip binder which will be huge by then thanks to you. Keep up the good work. :)
What an awesome idea Jay Fortuna! Great food choices!
A great vlog as always AJ! I can tell you had a good time doing this one! 😍
Spectacular job, AJ and Jay! Thanx for sharing!
Awesome idea! Thank you, Jay and AJ! Everything looks so yummy
Great video. Lots of awesome ideas, I love that you included tip, so many people forget that when budgeting.
This is awesome! Great idea Jay! Thanks for sharing this with us :)
Great video and great idea. I would love to see a video for some of us that haven't been to Disney for a couple of years of things that have changed, like security check before getting on the monorail or boat, parking fee at the resorts, new areas at the parks, or the rider switch changes.
Loved the video. We have never purchased the dining plan and have found plenty of good eats for under $35/day. My husband and I do a lot of resort hopping. Would love to see this same video for each of the resorts or resort areas. Thanks so much.
Ooooh so helpful! Thanks a bunch AJ❤️
While I am not complaining in the smallest bit, Epcot day has so much cheese!!! I love it though! What an awesome video.
Loved this video! Would love to see more like this with different budgets and different options!
I would be thrilled with an updated version of this now that the prices/offerings have changed. Thanks for the great starting list either way :)
This was awesome! Thanks for all the great ideas, I'm looking to eat on a budget for my trip in November.
LOVED this video! I'm a Disney veteran taking my best friend for the first time over spring break, and since we're college students, saving money where we can is SUPER important. Some additional recommendations I have are:
- Do not be afraid to order off the kids menu if you have a smaller stomach, especially at the resorts! For example, rather than spending $8.79 on Mickey Waffles at POP, you can get a kids serving with the mini waffles, a side, and a drink for $6.29 and it still fills you up.
- Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom is SUCH a good find. The Combination Platter is only $12.49 and definitely fills you up with lots of food which I love to get for a late lunch when the place is much less crowded.
- La Cantina de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT is amazing for street style tacos, nachos, and empanadas. About the same price as Harbour House, and there's also less well known indoor seating to get away from the heat and big birds on the patio.
- Agree 100% with the Flame Tree BBQ at Animal Kingdom. Harambe Market is also a really good find!
My friend and I did Disney on a college student budget a couple years ago. We brought granola bars from home for breakfast and split a couple snacks in the middle of the day instead of lunch. I usually ate a quick-service dinner off the children's menu. Probably not for everyone, but it made Disney doable on our shoestring budget!
Probably one of the smoothest voices I’ve ever heard. Your videos are great! Always look forward to the next
This was one of the best videos. Love it. So helpful. Would love to see one for Disneyland as well.
AJ, we love your videos. Please think about doing a video on healthier eating options at Disney. Looking for less carbs, more protein. Thanks for all your great advice!
This is perfect for those of us wanting some awesome Disney food that are on a budget or not on the Disney plan and paying oop!! 😀
Only if you don't have dieatary restrictions
Needed this video, AJ! Thank you so much!
Loved this!! Would love to see a food tour of all the restaurants on the Boardwalk/Boardwalk area hotels, and same with the monorail loop!!!
Great idea for a video! This way, people may choose their hotels based on the nearby food supply :) I'd love to see a DFB Guide clip about that!
Morgan Beja yes
Nismo aka Nismovsky me too
Awesome Video AJ! We budget $60 per Day for 2 people and usually come in under budget! Great video idea - We'll have to show what we do on our next trip!
LOVED this video!💛
OMG A Jay, I followed almost ALL these tips and had an awesome experience até Walt Disney world. Just didn't found the one you sugested at Tutto gusto, but a I had a pretty fancy lunch there anyway. So, thank you só mutch for this video! I feel like a Disney expert now ;)
Great tips, and a great video idea, props to Jay!
Thank y’all so much. Awesome video!😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Oh Yes - One of our tricks is on this video! We share the combo platter at AK Flame Tree - Chicken, Ribs and Pulled Pork + we add a side of fries! Plenty for 2 Hungry Eaters!
I absolutely LIVE for that pulled pork mac & cheese at Animal Kingdom. I've gotten it for lunch, for dinner, and as a shared snack. SO good. I've even started making it at home. Ditto on the chicken waffle sandwich at Magic Kingdom.
This is a great idea and video. Thanks, Jay!
Great concept/ vid. Thanks for uploading!
Amazing video! Can't believe how affordable Disney can be. ;) 5 whole days for around $35 each day is really impressive! Thanks DFB!
P.s. Vegetarian version please?...
Great video! I would also love a video of best table serve dining on a budget.
AJ! My fiancé and I LOVE your videos. Every time I get a notification that you uploaded we have to watch your video together. He gets so mad if I watch one without him hahahaha! But we are going to Disney World for our honeymoon! My fiancé has never been so I want this to be extra extra special for him as well as us celebrating our marriage! I think a cool video idea that would help me as well as others is must do honeymoon/date ideas while in Disney. Such as places to eat, best places to stay, and other special things to do!! Thanks!!!
Love this video. We need more like this!
Great suggestions. SO many of those are shareable, too. People need to cut down portions, anyways, in the US, so doing this For TWO people is absolutely perfect!
I went to Mara in 2007 during my stay at AKL for the stew, which was amazing.
EXCELLENT! Great episode.
I would personally prefer to try the Nudel Gratain for Lunch in Epcot instead of the Panini at Tutto Gusto. All these suggestions are great! Jay came up with a great video idea.
This video is awesome. I so needed this because I'm going to Disney World in 2 weeks!
AJ!! This is probably my favorite video you've done and I've watched almost all of them 😂😂 I had kinda gathered it was possible to keep a reasonable budget while eating at Disney but this video really made it clear and concise and made me feel like it's actually doable!! Two questions - how much tax is at WDW? And does the Disney Food Blog guide have prices it in? Thank you for making such awesome and helpful content!!
Very helpful video...thanks for making!
I love this Channel!😁😁
could you do a video explaining how food credits work and the best way to utilize them? thank you! 💕
I LOVE THIS IDEA! Next maybe give us a Full Day at Disney World using the QS plan and also the regular dining plan? That would be a great tool too! I know you have Vlogs with lists of fav snacks, fav QS locations, etc... but seeing it broken up day by day, in each separate place/Park is awesome!
Thank you, this is going to be a great budgeting tip for my family of 6!!!
Could you do a video about what you would choose to eat in each park if you are on the dining plan? I'd love suggestions about that! It's so hard to narrow down what to eat!
The Mrs and I always get the dining plan. This trip we are gonna try and go a little cheaper and maybe eat a little less! So this is a great video. Thanks!
Great, helpful video! Thank you!
I would love a Top 10/20 Healthy Food Options at WDW video!!
I'm visiting in December from Japan and while of course i'm gonna treat myself some of the time, it'd be nice to know where i can fall back to! (and not just salads, though yummy salads are always welcome!)
Absolutely love this! I would personally swap out Mr. Kamal's fries for the Night Blossom at AK, but otherwise this hits SO many of my favorites!!!!
I loved this video. It would be great if you could make an updated one.
I loved this!
Hey, we got a bonus day!! Thanks for the great video!!
Great options, thanks!
Great job as always AJ!! Amazing work. I don't think i ever came out without at least spending $250 a day : )
BTW "Smores french toast"!!! OMG!!! sounds amazing!!! We're going next week and our first stop will be TSL for one of those!!!
AWESOME vlog!!
Thanx for these great ideas.
Loved this ❤️
This is wonderful, I didn’t even realise there were so many good fast food places that do more than just hamburgers chicken and chips !!
Oh Noooo... :-)
The secret of the best sandwich at MK is out! I love that spicy chicken sandwich!
Love your videos!
More of these please 😍😍😍
Great idea for people on a budget. I'm just glad we have deluxe dining.
Best video ever!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
So its $35 for one a person a day,, we are talking well over $100 a day for a family of 4.. I say eat once in the parks and buy a bunch of stuff for your hotel room from a local grocery store, save some cash.
It depends on your situation. If people are able to go often then you'd have some great advice. But for people like me and my family, this trip would be a once in a lifetime trip, and we'd want to try as much as we could before we left without spending an arm and a leg.
Or go when there is free Disney Dining when staying in resort.
SuperZandersmom. Your suggestion allows for much healthier options. Important to fuel and hydrate well for long days in the Florida sun. Good on you.
For all those penny pinchers...their are plenty of garage cans in disney..just dumpster dive..have a small child..throw them in great money saver 🤣🤣🤣
You can pretty much feed a family of four off one meal at the flametree, so that can save you some $
Loved this!!!!!
What a great idea. Maybe some ideas of say a days menu for vegetarians or people on keto/paleo type diets. Or even different price points, say if people can budget $50 a day or something. Maybe even vegan (is that even possible at Disney?).
Amazing. Thank you
the signature poutine will forever be a must eat in Epcot for me
Hi AJ! My husband and I love all the DFB videos! We watch them all the time! Can you do a video just like this for Disneyland? We’re going soon and are out of our element there since WDW is our home park!
big thanks for this saved it to my phone for when i end up going in the long haul ^^
I would love a cheap eats part 2!!
I don't eat breakfast at disney World I eat fast food breakfast and eat it in the car, I eat the lunch at Disney World but I get the chicken nuggets and I go out to eat for dinner once I leave the park. (Like at 9pm or 10pm)
Edit: so I basically save big money anyways but this video is still helpful for everyone else :)
gordilaishere that’s a late dinner 🥘
This looks like fun even at Christmas time
Your the best AJ. Plz a monorail loop food tour!! will you be there for the opening day of Toy Story land?
This was a fave video
Oooh great video, how about one for Disneyland/Cali Adventure?
Black and white sprinkles cup is best! Dark chocolate vanillia frosting and chocolate sprinkles
cannot wait to try flame tree bbq!!
This is AWESOME!
Love your videos AJ
I would recommend going to Via Napoli if you want a table service meal. You can get one pizza for the whole family to share. They have great pizza there. It's still going to be somewhat expensive, because it's Disney World but it's cheaper than other table service restaurants.
I’m glad you mentioned the tipping. I’m not sure everyone knows that.
