Where Can I Get Discounted Food and Drink Inside Disney World?

Disney Springs

Scrolling through social media the day or night before your visit or on the monorail on the way to the hotel might come in handy. Follow your favorite restaurants and shops on Instagram or other social media outlets in advance.

Many of the places in Disney Springs will post special promotions or discounts on their web pages for the next day. Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza has offered free pizza and delivery as well as various other discount offerings just on their Instagram page.

Terralina Crafted Italian displays a preview of their daily and monthly specials, as well as promotions going on so Disney “Instagrammers” have an inside scoop on what is coming up next. Sprinkles Cupcakes hides secrets and clues in their Instagram story that can lead to free cupcakes and other dessert discounts.

Epcot

It may be your dream to drink around the world at Epcot, but that experience’s price can be hefty. Ranging from $6 to $16 per drink, and multiplying that by the 10 countries that are showcased, the price of the drinks alone could send you running. Adding in meals, as well as making sure everyone is hydrated, the cost of a day at Epcot, or any of the other parks, can add up quickly. Knowing where and when to cut costs can keep the day fun and exciting.

Bringing Your Own Food

Bringing in small snacks and a refillable water bottle will save you for the long walk between Germany and China. To ensure all of Disney’s guidelines are met, they remind guests that you cannot bring large coolers or glass containers. For the Animal Kingdom specifically, you cannot bring in any plastic or balloons. You are allowed to bring in food and nonalcoholic beverages, just make sure that you inform a Cast Member upon arrival.

Splurge When Needed

Many adult Disney goers dream of drinking around the world, but budgeting for your experience is crucial. Getting the most visually pleasing drink that each country has to offer may not always live up to its grand expectations.

Establishing a budget beforehand will help you decide which drinks will be worth it. Looking at the prices of each drink and planning ahead for the drinks you want in each country in the showcase will be a great way to keep money in your pocket.

Saving Money Everywhere Else Inside Disney

Getting that perfect picture with your Dole Whip at Aloha in the Magic Kingdom or that Instagram worthy picture of Zebra Domes from the Boma dinner buffet inside Animal Kingdom is important, but knowing where to get those iconic desserts for a lower price is crucial. Be on the lookout for your favorite items at lower prices at counter service or fast casual stations. 

The legendary clam chowder at the Columbia Harbor House can be found for $3 less at the Liberty Tree Tavern. Purchasing an entree-only meal at the quick service stations will keep you and your wallet full, but if you still want your side of fries and a drink, ask someone you are traveling with to split the food. With most portions being doubled or even tripled, it will make sense to split your lunch, even if it adds an extra dollar to the cost. Eat your biggest meal at breakfast. 

Most hotels within and outside of Disney offer complimentary breakfast with your stay, take advantage of it! Yet, if you want to make sure you are in line for the new Galaxy’s Edge ride ahead of everyone else, you can still get breakfast at the parks.

Historically, breakfast is the least expensive, and least crowded meal you can get while there. Another perk of having a big breakfast, you will be able to stay full until well after the lunch rush that hits right at noon. You can also visit the official Disney World and Disneyland sites for information.
