Hi, Connie!
Welcome to
Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am so glad that you sent us this question, as it's a great one. Most menus--including pricing--are available on
Walt Disney World's website, so it's easy to calculate how much your party will likely spend on each meal.
On the Walt Disney World website, hover your cursor over "Things to Do", then click on "All Dining" to see a list of dining options. If you know the name of the restaurant you'd like to try, enter it in the WDW search bar, and click on the link that matches that name. Once on a restaurant's page, click "View Menu" and select the breakfast, lunch or dinner option accordingly. There, you'll see current offerings (subject to change, of course) as well as prices of each item. For example, my family loves to dine at Epcot's
Coral Reef Restaurant, where I would likely order the Pan-seared Verlasso Salmon ($31) or the Grilled New York Strip Steak ($33). Add to that our favorite desserts, The Chocolate Wave or Bailey's and Jack Daniel's Mousse (each $9), and you've got quite a special treat as you gaze at thousands of sea creatures in the largest inland saltwater environment ever built: The Seas with Nemo & Friends.
Another great use of this planning tool is to find dining locations that fit your budget and culinary interests. If you plan to pay out of pocket for a Table-Service meal or two, you can easily choose those locations which won't break the bank by finding those with affordable options that sound delicious.
Happy planning, Connie!
