Click here to order the DFB Guide! When you’re dining at a quick-service restaurant at Disney World, there are many entrees that are big enough to split. Getting a meal for two for one price is a great way to stay within your food budget — and maybe save for splurges on fancier restaurants or souvenirs! Here are some entrees that we know are large enough for two adults (medium-hungry adults, we’ll say) at Disney World. Columbia Harbour House Trio Platter The Trio Platter at this popular Magic Kingdom spot features Fried Shrimp, Chicken Tenders, Battered Fish, Hushpuppies, and your choice of side for $14.29. Trio Platter at Columbia Harbour House As you can see, there’s a lot of food there, and this pic doesn’t include the side of fries (you could also choose rice, green beans, or more hushpuppies). If you’re especially hungry, add a second order of fries for $4.49, and you’re still saving quite a bit over two entrees. REVIEW: Does Columbia Harbour House at Disney World Still Offer Something For Everyone? Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Chili Dog The all-beef footlong hot dog topped with chili and cheese at Cosmic Ray’s in Magic Kingdom is a huge sandwich that can be easily cut in half and enjoyed by two. Foot Long Hot Dog This chili dog also comes with an order of fries for $13.99. You could always add a second order of fries for $4.49 if you and your dining partner are extra famished. Review: Galaxy Loaded Fries — a Secret Menu Item — at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Sunshine Seasons Oak-Grilled Rotisserie Chicken This platter comes with a huge serving of roasted chicken, as well as black beans and yellow rice — all for $12.79. Sunshine Seasons We love this choice in EPCOT for lunch because of its ample seating, air conditioning, and proximity to popular attractions Living with the Land and Soarin’. REVIEW: EPCOT’s NEW Pizza Roll Is the Size of Our Heads — Not Kidding La Cantina de San Angel Taco Trio Over at EPCOT’s Mexico, this taco trio — which consists of barbacoa, camaron, and pollo tacos — is easy to share, especially because you can split the serving of rice and beans it comes with for $14.99. Taco Trio You could share pretty much any of the entrees here — especially if you add additional sides to your order. The Best Meals in Disney World For Under $15 Woody’s Lunchbox BBQ Brisket Melt The BBQ Brisket Melt at Woody’s Lunchbox in Hollywood Studios is another great sharable option. It’s easy to split this sandwich that features Shredded Smoked Brisket, Pickles, and Tangy Barbecue Sauce between Melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack on Grilled Sourdough Bread. BBQ Brisket Melt from Woody’s Lunch Box Getting lunch for two for $12.99 is quite a savings! You may even have enough money left over to get one of our favorite snacks — a lunchbox tart — to split for dessert. Review: Looking For a Lighter Meal in the Disney World Heat? We Found Your Answer! Flame Tree Barbecue Ribs and Chicken Combo One of our OG-favorite shareable meals is this combo at Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom! Ribs, Chicken, and Pork Sampler — not that the one currently bing sold does not have pork With ribs, chicken, cole slaw, and baked beans for $15.69, this is a great value for the money. As always, you can add extra sides — like an onion ring basket for $4.49 — if you’re extra hungry. And that’s our quick list of shareable meals to help you save on food at Disney World!

That collection will include a pink backpack that has a Grogu print all over it, with THE CHILD in big letters across the top. ©Stoney Clover Lane You can even get patches of The Child to add to your bags! ©Stoney Clover Lane There’s also a Duffel Bag… ©Stoney Clover Lane …and a Fanny Pack! ©Stoney Clover Lane So when will this collection drop?

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Mickey Waffles That’s might be especially true in Disney World because, well, breakfast usually means MICKEY WAFFLES. But it can also mean a fun character dining experience, or just some delicious Starbucks or Joffrey’s coffee and a snack. Whatever you prefer, though, it can get expensive to eat breakfast in Disney World. So here are our best tips to save on that first meal of the day! Grab Breakfast the Day Before This is a tip that will help you save on both breakfast and snacks because we’re combining the two. If there’s a snack you’ve really been wanting to try in Disney World, grab it as you’re headed out of the park and take it back to your hotel room for breakfast the next morning. A Carrot Cake Cookie makes a great breakfast Then you can just brew up some delicious Joffrey’s coffee in your hotel room (most Disney rooms now have Keurig machines) to go with that snack, and you are all set! You can also do this with things like donuts from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew or Joffrey’s, muffins, and other baked goods if you have a preference. Here are 19 Disney World Snacks That Cost Less Than $10! Bring Non-Perishable Breakfast Foods From Home You could also always pack some breakfast foods in your luggage. Things like granola bars, protein bars, instant oatmeal, and even cereal (you can always buy milk once you get to your hotel) are non-perishable and you don’t have to worry about them getting smushed in your luggage. Granola Bars If you’re not averse to instant coffee (like Starbucks Via), you could even bring some coffee with you to enjoy before you leave your room every day for the parks. Here are the BEST Snacks to Pack In Your Disney World Park Bag! Order Groceries Ahead of Time to Be Delivered to Your Room Did you know you could hop on Instacart and order up some groceries to be delivered to your Disney World hotel room? Well, you can! So be sure to order some breakfast items like cereal and milk, pre-packaged breakfasts, yogurt, oatmeal, and even pre-packaged iced coffee or cold brew. ©Instacart This option will save you a lot of money, especially when comparing the prices of those items to the same in Disney World. If you prefer bottled water, be sure to order plenty of that, too — you’ll save a fortune on water alone (although remember you can get FREE water in the parks). Here’s a Step-by-Step Guide to Ordering Instacart Grocery Delivery to Disney World Have Brunch You can go all out and combine two meals with one by just having brunch — fill up on breakfast and lunch foods and you won’t be hungry again until dinner! Our best suggestion is to hit up one of the Disney World breakfast buffets as late as possible — if you time it just right, you can get the breakfast buffet and then the lunch buffet, too, when it switches out. Brunch could be our favorite meal Two meals in one? How could you say no? This is also a good option for character dining because you can justify the more expensive cost of a character meal when you’re just having one big meal instead of a separate breakfast and lunch. Here’s Our Review Of One Of Disney World’s Cheapest Breakfast Buffets Eat Off-Property If you have your own transportation, you could choose to eat somewhere away from Disney property. Head on over to McDonald’s (and there is one on Disney World property!) and grab a cheap breakfast that’s bound to be a LOT less expensive for the same thing in Disney World. Or go to another restaurant where breakfast would be a little cheaper. Disney World’s McDonald’s You could even save if you choose to Uber to and from a destination if it’s not TOO far from Disney World property. Remember, food just about anywhere is going to be cheaper at non-Disney World restaurants. Here Are The Best Fast Breakfasts at Disney World Get Mickey Waffles To-Go Okay, so we get it. Sometimes, you just gotta’ have a Mickey waffle. We will CERTAINLY not judge you for that. But you can actually get them a lot faster — and cheaper — if you know where to go. If you’re staying at an EPCOT resort, you can get grab-and-go Mickey Waffles from the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort! Mickey Waffles These Mickey Waffles generally cost a little less than those you would get from Disney World restaurants AND you can just enjoy them in your room, or somewhere out on the BoardWalk if you want breakfast with a view. How to Make Mickey Waffles at Home! Stay at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin If you stay at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin or the Swan Reserve, you can use Marriott Rewards, and that includes credits for breakfast. Room at Swan Reserve Not paying for breakfast at all? That could save you a lot of money, especially if you’re traveling with your family. Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Our BEST tip for sticking with your budget at Disney World will forever be to plan ahead – especially for dining!

There are many reasons to visit Disney World in the fall — but it might not be as empty as you expect it to be. It’s Halloween time! The Florida weather may be slightly cooler (by a smidge), the Halloween decorations are out, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (which is totally sold out) all happens in the fall, which means crowds can and do arrive. If you’ve got a trip coming up within the next few weeks, one Orlando Airport shuttle service has a number of sold-out dates — here’s what you need to know. The Sunshine Flyer is a shuttle service now operating for Disney World visitors traveling from Orlando International Airport to Disney World (and vice versa). It launched not long after Disney’s Magical Express was discontinued, and it transports travelers in buses designed to look like old-fashioned train engines and passenger cars. Of course, it’ll cost you. Sunshine Flyer If you were hoping to reserve the Sunshine Flyer for an upcoming trip, you can book with them up to four days before your trip — unless they’re sold out. They just announced that three different Saturday dates are fully sold out, including September 24th, October 1st, and October 8th. ©The Sunshine Flyer If these sold-out dates throw a wrench in your plans, another Orlando Airport transportation option would be Mears Connect, as well as traditional methods like taxis, rideshare services, rental cars, and more. If you’re traveling during a busy time period, it’s a good idea to get your airport transportation reserved as soon as possible.

Wanna know how to get Disney World merchandise for CHEAP? Let’s go shopping! No, we’re not talking about Annual Passholder discounts or sales on shopDisney. There’s a much more direct way to score some discounted souvenirs, although, you will have to go out of your way to do the shopping. Have you ever heard of the Disney Character Warehouse? The Disney Character Warehouse is a store with two locations in Orlando that offers old Disney World merch at a discount…sometimes a really BIG discount! You’ll find these stores on Vineland Road and International Drive, located inside the outlet malls on those roads. Disney Character Warehouse We recently stopped by the International Drive location to see what they had in store, and there was a LOT to choose from! Mostly, you’ll find merchandise that’s a little out of season. For instance, we spotted this Mickey Pumpkin Pillow from last year’s Halloween collection for $9.99. He’s cute! There are typically at least one pair of Minnie ears in stock at these stores, and we found some designs from several months back, like these pearl ones, for $15.99 each. Minnie ears! Earlier this year, the Main Street Electrical Parade returned to Disneyland Park for a limited run, and celebrated its 50th Anniversary. The parade has closed its run again though, so some of the anniversary merchandise has arrived in the outlet stores. This lighted wall decor was available for $20.99. Main Street Electrical Parade merchandise? If you’re hoping to stock up on the blue and white Mickey Mouse kitchen collection, then you’ll want to stop by ASAP! Many of the items were in stock, including bowls, mugs, fake plants, plates, and more. Lots of kitchen merchandise. And there’s also almost always a selection of Disney apparel available. We noticed quite a few t-shirts available, including some apparel from the 2022 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. Old Disney clothes from the Flower & Garden Festival. Behind the counter, there’s a chance that you’ll find some of Disney’s more expensive souvenirs. We noticed a few different bags, namely from older Dooney & Bourke collections. Disney Character Warehouse So next time you’re in the area, don’t skip out on the Disney Character Warehouse! It’s not just Disney World merch in here — we’ve also seen items from Disneyland Resort and Disney Cruise Line in the past. It’s definitely a challenge to walk in and not spend any money. And if you’re hoping to score some Disney souvenirs that are current, stay tuned to DFB for all the updates on new merchandise arriving in the parks and online. We’ll make sure to update you with the big sales and discounts that are released. Click Here to See All the Disney World 50th Anniversary Merchandise Online!

Hulk Meet and Greet Character Not only did Disney announce a new Big Hero 6 area for Disney California Adventure but they also shared that the Magic Happens Parade would be returning, a new look at the concept art for Toontown, AND the fact that two new nighttime spectaculars would be debuting at Disneyland Resort soon. On top of this, we got to see a first look at Project EXO and how it would impact character interactions in the park with Hulk. Now, Hulk is out meeting guests for the first time. When we use the word MASSIVE to describe this meet-and-greet, we aren’t joking. This character meet-and-greet is seriously showing us that the future is now.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Disney World ain’t cheap. EPCOT You have to buy your park tickets, book a hotel if the trip calls for it, not to mention plan for eating all those delicious Disney snacks and treats while you’re there. It adds up quickly — and when price increases hit the parks, it can make you rethink your Disney World budget. These price increases may seem small, but they’ve made a BIG difference to our Disney World budgets! When it comes to your Disney World trip, you might have some idea of what you can or want to spend while you’re there. We see price increases hit the parks pretty regularly, and while a bump in cost here or there might not seem like the end of the world, it can add up quickly. Main Street, U.S.A. Even these small price increases have made us rethink our Disney World budgets! Snacks We know a thing or two about Disney World snacks, and they can often fall victim to price increases. It might not seem like a huge deal to pay $0.25 more for that popcorn refill, but if your family relies on this cheap savory snack to keep the kiddos full until the next meal, it can really add up! Adventureland Popcorn Cart One of the most egregious price hikes we saw in recent history came to our beloved Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom. You used to be able to snag two delicious spring rolls for $7.50. You can still snag two delicious spring rolls from this cart, but it’ll cost you a whopping $2 more! Cheeseburger Spring Rolls While these may seem like small changes, if these are items you’re used to buying in the marks it can make all the difference. You can always stay tuned to DFB to see the latest snack price increases! Character Dining Character dining is BACK in Disney World after a long hiatus, and we’re still seeing some experiences return to certain restaurants. We’ll soon get to interact with pals at ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort again, and just recently Winnie the Pooh and Friends returned to lunch and dinner at The Crystal Palace, too. We were there on the first day of their return, except we noticed something different… Hi Piglet!!!! …because of the return of these characters, the price of our meal had gone up! Prior to characters returning, the meal was $39 for adults and $23 for children. Now, it’s $59 for adult and $39 for children. And while we’re happy to pay to get to see our old friends again, this is something you should keep in mind when planning your trip. Just because a restaurant isn’t currently offering a character meal doesn’t mean that it won’t by the time your trip rolls around! ALL the Current Character Dining in Disney World Clothing & Souvenirs There’s nothing quite like coming home from your Disney trip with a suitcase stuffed with souvenirs. But, if you’ve noticed that your splurges are costing you just a bit more than usual lately, you’re not alone. Disney merchandise and clothing specifically have seen recent price increases. Spirit jerseys saw a pretty big hike last year, with the price going from $69.99 to $74.99. Disney Spirit Jerseys The best thing you can do is budget ahead of time and try to stick to it while avoiding allllllll the other items you want to buy! Tickets The cost of Disney World tickets has been going up since it first opened in 1971 — although ticket types have gone through quite a few changes. Ticket prices have gone up in recent years, and we know that a trip to Disney World is going to cost thousands more in 2023 than it did in 2022. Magic Kingdom Sure, when you’re paying $100+ for a ticket to Disney World a small price increase might not seem like a big deal, but for families or those purchasing multiple tickets, every little bit counts! How Disney World Tickets Have CHANGED Over the Years Any Price Increase When you’re planning a trip for multiple people or a family, any small price increase is going to be multiplied. That $5 ticket increase? For a family of four, that’s actually a $20 increase. The same is true for meals, snacks, and souvenirs — so really, if you’re not flying solo to Disney World, there is no such thing as a “small” price increase! Costs can add up QUICK! If you’re heading to Disney World soon, keep in mind that prices can fluctuate and they might be different than they were on your last trip. We do our best to keep up with all the little updates, so you can always check with DFB before you build your budget! Magic Kingdom Another GREAT way to save money on your Disney World trip is by planning your food budget and sticking to it! Our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining comes with downloadable worksheets to help you do just that – along with our comprehensive look at restaurants, snack stands, and, well, everything you can eat at Disney World!

Disney was not shy about announcing new movies and trailers at the 2022 D23 Expo. We heard about new Pixar movies, sequels, live-action remakes, and more. But now we have even more news about an upcoming Disney movie! Are you excited?! || ©IMDb If you’re excited about the upcoming Disney film Strange World, get ready. Disney just released the first full-length trailer for the movie! Strange World is about a family of explorers — the Clades — who “attempt to navigate an uncharted, treacherous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog and a slew of ravenous creatures.” The family has to overcome their differences as they explore a — you guessed it — strange world (see what Disney did there?). ©Disney Jake Gyllenhaal voices the main character, Searcher Clade, and other voice actors include Dennis Quaid as Searcher’s father, Jaeger; Jaboukie Young-White as Ethan Clade; Gabrielle Union as Meridian Clade; and Lucy Liu as Castillo Mal. The movie is directed by Don Hall, co-director Qui Nguyen, and produced by Roy Conli. ©Disney We’ve seen a teaser trailer for this movie, but now we’ve got the full trailer. Are you ready to see it?
