Just has a look at Bubba Gumps and they have an email club that you can sign up for. Guessing that would include coupons.

Margaritaville has an email club.

Bubba Gumps you can sign up for the Landry's card: it costs $25 then you get $25 credit to be used and a $25 if your birthday happens to be within the month you visit...so effectively $25 towards your meal for nothing.

For us we try and eat as little in the parks as possible, often we skip breakfast have a earlier lunch, then dinner we often drive out of disney on days we aren't seeing parades fireworks etc to keep food costs a bit lower.

Having a 4 year old helps, I have been known to have kids meals in some parks, smaller portions and cheaper! If you don't fancy the fruit bag, we use it as a snack 2 hours later or so.

Places like TGI fridays have special menu's, say two courses for $15. I know its a holiday but generally I may have the odd beer out, but I do find alcohol expensive in USA compared to places like Spain etc. ALthough I do get bored after a while of fizzy drinks, occasionally as others have said I have water.

We do try and if we have say outback steak house, try and have something cheaper the next day, even had mall food as a dinner, something like panda express on the odd days we have been out shopping (although always have to go cheesecake factory at least once or twice!).

Its all about balance for us, and chain food like chilli's etc you know what you are getting. Which is important with little fussy eaters.

We found filling up at breakfast meant we could just have a snack in the park. At buffet restaurants you get money off another visit on the reception. Cici pizza ids a really cheap option for dinner (buffet pizza place), buy a polystyrene cooler for about $5, then take iced water bottles for a cold drink on the way home.

If I travel with just my daughter and not also hubby and son (as we sometimes do as we need extra Disney!) we try for room discounts rather than free dining and we share meals. I also buy cases of water off site as Disney bottled water is ridiculously expensive. We will also go to TS restaurants on property and have a starter each and share a desert. I actually enjoy my Disney food better when it's just me and DD without a dining plan as we eat what we want and not too much. We also have days when we just 'snack'. Can eat like Kings for $30 a day.
