Beating the system at Disney World
How can a family save on meal costs when they visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida? That's an increasing problem in a theme park where even the simplest sandwich with a soft drink now costs a minimum of $11. A trick that my daughter uses is to ask for a double cheeseburger and then to request an extra bun, the extra bun costing under $1. You then make two cheeseburgers out of the two patties of meat and thus split the total cost in half per person. An even better tactic is to buy one of those enormous one and one-half pound turkey legs at stands scattered around the parks, the legs being carved from 45-pound turkeys. One leg can easily feed two persons for less than a total of $6. I'm told that the Disney organization claims to sell one and a half million of such turkey legs each year -- probably to families desperate to save money on meals.
