    Traveling at the end of Jan with four kids ranging from 7-15. We are trying to stay within a good budget, any suggestions for dining? I've learned that you can also take drinks/juice pouches into the park, is this true? We are not on a disney resort

    Hi Dayna!  Traveling with 4 kids can be costly, but with the right plan, you can save a substantial amount of money, making your visit to Walt Disney World surprisingly affordable!

    Many of the off-property hotels offer a free or reasonable priced breakfast, so I would recommend filling up on a big breakfast before heading over to the parks. You can certainly bring drinks into the parks, and you are even permitted to bring a small, soft-sided cooler in with you.  This offers a great way to bring in your own sandwiches or snack items!  Having a picnic in the parks can be a magically memorable experience that will save you money.

    Disney quick service locations can be found all over the parks and the price for an adult meal averages around $10.  

    Here are a few of my favorite in-park dining bargains (approximate prices):

    Magic Kingdom
    Main Street Bakery:  Breakfast Pastries priced under $3 and sandwiches for around $6
    Columbia Harbor House: Bowl of Clam Chowder $4.50
    Casey's Corner: Hotdog with Fries $6.50

    Epcot
    Boulangerie Patisserie: Hot Ham and Cheese Croissant $3.25
    Sunshine Seasons: Half Rotisserie Chicken Meal $10 (Can feed 2)

    Hollywood Studios
    Starring Rolls Bakery: Assorted pastries under $2
    Rosie's Diner: Soups $2.75
    Toy Story Pizza Planet: Personal Pizza $6

    Animal Kingdom
    Anandupur Foods (Yak and Yeti):  Fried Rice and Eggrolls $4

    If you are interested in table service, prices vary but I would estimate the average at $20 per adult. Hope this has helped!  Congrats on your upcoming vacation!
