| You're Paying Too Much for Disney Food | 16 Sep 2026 | 00:43:42 | |
Episode #461 A little money-saving idea people may not think about-especially adults who don't need a huge meal while walking around the parks. Disney World food can get expensive FAST-and sometimes an adult-sized entree' is simply more food than you want. So why not look at the kids' menu? In this episode, we're talking about whether adults can take advantage of kid's meals at Walt Disney World, what you actully get for the price, and whether it makes sense for adults who aren't looking for a giant meal. Kids' meals can often come with an entree', sides and a drink, giving you a smaller portion while potentially saving money compared with ordering a full adult entee'. www.patreon.com/thedisneycrush

Once children return to school after Labor Day, wait times drop significantly, the lowest park tickets of the year, the parks seem empty, and Food & Wine has started. But the downside is the weather from excessive heat to almost daily rainstorms, and even the threat of a possible Hurricane.
