Everyone wants tickets to the Wishes Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace. What could be better? Awesome desserts, a great view and Tinkerbell flies right over your seat.
It’s kind of magical. But, at $20-30 for an adult ticket, it’s also kind of expensive.
Enter one very magical solution: The Polynesian Beach! Read more
Last but certainly not least, we need to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to experience their tasty but cheapy snacks! Hollywood Studios is just plain FUN. Lots of shows, a few of my absolute favorite rides (ahem…Rock n Roll and Toy Story!) and while we are running back and forth through the park we work up quite an appetite. This park is quite small, and while they have a handful of the snack kiosks around the park like all other parks, there aren’t as many snack choices here. Read more
This week we are setting our hungry eyes on Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Animal Kingdom is the largest of all Disney parks, so you need to be in “the know” of where all the tasty, cheapo snacks are! The AK, as I will call it, is separated into 7 different themed areas and those lands are spread out across more than 500 acres! Read more
Your car needs a new motor. Your husband lost his job. The IRS has slapped you with a giant fine. Life costs money. Sometimes more than you have. And at that point, a flight to Orlando (not to mention on-site lodging and daily Park tickets) simply isn’t an option.
When money is tight and a visit to the Mouse House just isn’t in the cards, I like to make a little Disney magic in my kitchen. It’s easier than walking to Orlando, cheaper than eating out, and more fun than eating the same old brussels sprouts and dry chicken breast. Read more
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: six words that are sweet, delicious music to every Disney foodie’s ears.
Walking around the World Showcase, sipping and snacking, is a great way to spend an afternoon (or two … or three) during Food and Wine, but it’s not exactly the most cost-effective way to get your Disney dining done.
But never fear! I’ve been to the Food and Wine Festival, and I’ve got you covered. Here are my top five picks for the thriftiest treats at this year’s festival:
1. Pumpkin Mousse from Hops and Barley (American Adventure)
Not only is this the cheapest eat on my list at $1.50, it’s also my all-time favorite Food and Wine snack. Yes, it’s small, but there are four or five good bites here, and every one of them is delicious. It’s got cool, creamy pudding, chewy craisins and a little bit of crunch from the oat crumble topping. Perfect, delicious and thrifty.
