how to save money eating in orlando
#step 1
Enjoy a buffet breakfast. Eating a large breakfast is a great way to keep you full all day long, and most breakfast buffets are priced under $7 per person. This is significantly less than lunch and dinner prices, and can help you get your fill for an entire day.
#
Step 2
Track down coupons at your hotel. Many hotels and resorts keep stacks of coupon books for guests. You can find many buy-one-get-one free coupons that can give you a great discount on parties of two or more.
#
Step 3
Print coupons online. Look up your selected restaurant and download and print a coupon. Many feature online-only specials that you can access any time of day.
#
Step 4
Commit to eating only one meal at a restaurant per day. Pack your own food the rest of the day, and you won't be at the mercy of eating out all day long.
#
Step 5
Avoid Disney Park snack carts and cafes. These items are usually overpriced, which means you'll have less money available for meals at a restaurant.
#
Step 6
Take advantage of happy hour. Many chains and restaurants feature a happy hour menu that features 50 percent off appetizers and drinks. You can enjoy an early dinner made up of a combination of appetizers and snacks at a much lower cost than the dinner menu.
#
Step 7
Shop at the local grocery store. Wal-Mart, SuperTarget and even Sam's Club can be found all around Orlando. Find out where your nearest location is and stock up on snacks and easy-to-prepare meals.

good news Walt Disney World has resurrected its buy-four-get-three-free
Walt Disney World has resurrected its buy-four-get-three-free hotel-night promotion, in a move likely to cheer consumers but which also suggests the giant resort expects travel demand will remain sluggish well into 2010.
The new hotel discount isn't quite as deep as the previous version of the promotion, which ran from January to mid-August, when it was replaced by a free-dining deal. For example, only customers who book rooms in Disney's mid-priced and most-expensive resorts can get seven nights for the price of four; people booking the resort's cheapest hotels, such as Disney's Pop Century Resort, can only get seven nights for the price of five.
But the offer covers travel for nearly five months — from Nov. 1 until March 27 — with a three-week blackout period around Thanksgiving and a week-and-half blackout around Christmas. Once this booking period is complete, Disney World will have been heavily discounting for 15 months straight.
Earlier this week, when announcing Disney's 2010 "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" volunteer promotion, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo acknowledged that the company would have to continue discounting to get consumers to travel in the midst of a still-struggling economy.
"We made the decision to promote volume over price," Rasulo said. "Frankly, we know that conditions haven't changed that much in the economy."
