Planning a trip to Disneyland doesn’t have to break the bank, at least when it comes to food. If you know where to go, you can find economy-minded choices for delicious dining and save a little to spend on dessert or that souvenir you’ve been dying to have.
The good news is you won’t be stuck with hot dogs and hamburgers either. Here are over 40 interesting options for inexpensive dining ($11 or less) at the Disneyland Resort:
