Can you eat at Disney for $40 a day?

[Matt'sMom]

Here's an under $40 day at MK.

Actually, it will usually cost us significantly less than $40 per person for daily meals. We frequently share two CS meals between the three of us (2 adults and ds9), and also often share a desert or appetizer at TS's too (as oppossed to each ordering seperately). And we don't do a TS every day of our trip either. But for the sake of this challenge, here is three good meals for one person, including a nice sit down meal with a desert too.

B - Main Street Bakery - $5.09
Breakfast Quiche $3.29
Orange Juice $1.49

L - Liberty Tree Tavern - $24.39
New England Potroast $13.79
Caramel Apple Tart $4.29
Beverage $1.99

D - Cosmic Ray's Starlight Poulet - $9.88
Half Rotisserie Chicken (meal w. potatoes & veggies) $7.29
Beverage $1.99

Could sub one or two 'snacks', if I skipped the desert at LTT.

Total for Day= $39.87

Isn't MYW Dining option $35.00 per day? That would do it..

Well Said!!!!! Well! Get the $35 day plan MYW plus dining and you could definitely spend less than $35 dollars a day but eat...alot more than that in dollar value.

$40 per day is my usual WDW food budget!

Let's see... for a day at the Animal Kingdom, starting with a nice breakfast.

Breakfast at Rainforest Cafe: Tonga Toast 8.99 + Orange Juice 3.99 + .84 tax + 2.07 tip = $15.89
Lunch at Tusker House: Half rotisserie chicken and a Diet Coke 11.99 for the Meal Plus Certificate + .78 tax = $12.77
Snack: A Mickey Premium Bar where I redeem the "snack" portion of the Meal Plus Certificate
Later, a Diet Coke is obtained with the "drink" portion of the certificate.

Since the Animal Kingdom closes earlier in the day, I then park-hop to MGM to catch Fantasmic. Just before entering the Hollywood Hills Theater, I stop to get dinner to go.
Dinner at Rosie's All American Cafe: Cheesburger and fries $5.69 + .37 tax = $6.06
My drink is obtained at the Hollywood Hills counter, where I get a Bud for $4.79 (inc. tax)

Total for the day: $39.51

I've been trying to work out a scenario where the sit-down meal is dinner, but haven't been able to come up with one yet. Well, actually, I could except for one little thing. It's the boozin' part of boozin' and grubbin' that keeps tripping me up. "Hmmm. I can have the mushroom appetizer or the imperial pint of lager, but not both. Nope, can't choose!"

No problem!...couple of Mickey bars, couple of bottled waters and a couple of small bags of Mickey pretzels - and you're right on budget!
