Disney World is ever-evolving, and even regular visitors can sometimes struggle to find the best ways to tailor their trip. Dining can be quite a budget buster, but there's a clever way to slash those costs, and it might surprise you.

Often, Disney price tags soar because of a simple glow cube or a snazzy cup that hikes up drink prices. These costs add up if you're buying multiple items. But did you know you can often request a drink without the glow cube to save money? Even ordering a beverage like the Lapu Lapu without its fancy pineapple container can trim your bill.

When it comes to entrees, try skipping the side dish to save a few bucks. You'll typically need to ask in person rather than through mobile ordering, so prepare for some extra time waiting. And while not every attempt will succeed, being courteous when asking never hurts.

We've tested these strategies with varied success, but it's worth a try, particularly when on a budget. Always ask politely and appreciate the Cast Members' efforts, regardless of the outcome.
