There are 4 (daughters are 14&11) of us and we are staying in a 1 bedroom at Kidani, so we will have a a full kitchen. And honestly, we always leave the parks at around 1pm, so it's not that big of a deal to hit up a lunch on the way back to the room. While yes, I'd like to be able to eat in the parks (or on-site) because I love the theming and its convenience, but the price is just a killer.
Like I indicated before if we ate at Sci-fi our bill would probably shake out around $75. If we swing by Chick-fil-a it'll cost us around $25. That's a $50 savings. Then, if we eat in our room later that's an even bigger savings. It's not that I'm cheap, it's just I feel bad paying those inflated prices.
We always take a midday break back to the room also. There's a CFA really close to Kidani. There are 7 of us, so a little higher cost x 7 equals A LOT! We do quite a few on-site meals, but we also do off-site meals and meals in the villa. We hit up Panera when we get there and get bagels and cream cheese for breakfasts for the week. We will also hit up Costo and get some ready-to-bake meals, pre-cooked bacon for BLTs, etc. For our upcoming trip, I have some restaurant.com GC's that I plan on using also.
