When you plan your Disney vacation food is a very big, expensive part of your trip planning. I NEVER go to the park without planning exactly where we will be eating. I spend alot of time reading food reviews, looking at menus and studying my park maps. I try to find places that are reasonably priced (around $10 per adult and $6 per child, including drinks). I know that alot of people believe that you save alot of money by leaving the park and eating at one of the many surrounding food establishments, I don't think you do. I have a few reasons I feel that way. One, you have to take the time to exit the park and walk to a restaurant, sit down, eat, and then walk back to the park. That's alot of time wasted to only be saving a couple of dollars. The second reason I feel this way is that there really isn't alot of "fast food" around the park. There is a McDonald's across the street but think of it as a airport McDonald's. In other words no value menu.
If you do your homework you will find that eating in the park is both affordable and really fun. I have 3 resources that I have used again and again and am always happy with the information I find. The first is a travel guide book called: The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland. It has a red and white cover and is updated every year. They are honest and the book has information about EVERYTHING to do with Disneyland and the surrounding area. The next resource I use is disneyfoodblog.com this blog is really great to read reviews on resteraunts and other food offerings in Disneyland and Disney World. My last and possibly best resource is allears.org this website has the menus for EVERY resteraunt, walk up counter and kiosk in Disneyland and Disney World. They update there menus about every 6 months with new food offerings and prices.
I hope with these resources you will find that Disney really does keep there prices reasonable and the food is delicious and unique.
