We actually DID do disney pretty frugally when we went 2 years back. We drove
down and stayed off the property. We had a big cooler.
We brought all kinds of
lunchmeats, pop, juice bags and snackfoods along. We found an inexpensive pizza
place that delivered to the hotel (they did pasta dishes besides just pizza, and
their pizza lasted two meals). Breakfast was usually hotel bagels or cereal.
We planned a few nice meals out – 1 character breakfast and lunch, plus one
restaurant dinner – but the rest were off of what we brought.
I think we
splurged on icecream on day in the park.
So it *can* be done for anyone who hasn’t considered it before. I was shocked
at how reasonable it ended up being.
