Here is what we do....we stay at the Embassy Suites hotel, where breakfast is free every morning (and it's a cooked-to-order breakfast, too!)...so we'd FILL outselves up with breakfast...and take some fruit to go....then go to the parks on a full stomach....then we'd have those chocolate covered mickey mouse ice cream things as an afternoon snack and bring our own drinks. We only ate lunch there the day we were at Epcot (dad has to eat in Italy!). Anyway, after leaving the parks, we'd go to a big buffet-type place for dinner, like Shoney's, and again just eat until we couldn't eat anymore...plus we bought grocery store snacks for the room..

so besides lunch at Epcot, the only 'food' we purchased at Disney itself were the ice cream things.
