My son and I ate for $20 day or less on a trip to Disneyland a couple of years ago. My husband was staying at the Disneyland Hotel for a convention, and we tagged along for a budget 5 night stay. I brought quite a bit from home and did not have a car. We never left Disney property. I did not know that we had a fridge in the room until we got there. We had instant oatmeal and Mickey Mouse juice pouches for breakfast, tuna lunch-to-go kits + pringles+apple sauce or PP&J for lunches and Pasta Anytimes for a couple of dinners. I bought milk from the resort store. We had our own little snacks in our fannie bags. I brought Disney fruit snacks, M+M's, pretzels, etc ready in snack bags. I looked for items on sale and coupons while shopping for a few weeks prior to the trip. My son noticed the price of a single Disney Juice pouch in the resort store was $1.75, and we bought our whole box for $1.50. We had a blast!!! We did eat at one Character meal at Goofy's Kitchen (with my husband's meal being covered by work). My husband was wined and dined at the convention, and we played in the parks and pool
We have gone to WDW with much bigger budgets and spent more on food. You can have fun and enjoy your trip while on a tight food budget. Just plan ahead and enjoy what you do have - a week of fun!
