The Disney World Dining Plan is actually accepted at many of the restaurants at Disney Springs, including Jaleo, Wine Bar George, Morimoto Asia, Blaze Pizza, and Raglan Road. If you're on the dining plan, lunch or dinner at Disney Springs could be a good idea.
When my husband and I go to Disney World, we never use up our dining plan's snack credits. We don't mind the taste of Orlando's water, and with free water from the counter service restaurants, we don't 'waste' credits on soda pops. Generally, after the first day, we're over-caloried so we just don't use those snack credits. On the last day, we take all our leftover credits to Goofy's Candy Company in Disney Springs and load up on packaged goodies that fit just fine in our carry-on luggage. We've even gotten wrapped sandwiches from the Earl of Sandwich to take with us to the airport with extra counter service credits!
Use your AAA card at Earl Of Sandwich in Disney Springs and get 15% off your total. It's not advertised there, so you need to show them your card when you are paying. This is better than the 10% discount for Annual Passholders.
Want some stylish Walt Disney World souvenirs? Go to the Marketplace Co-op at Disney Springs for some of the best WDW-themed merchandise.
When you do major shopping at Disney Springs, have them ship it home for you. It will cost from $12 on up, but then you don't have to pay taxes on your purchases when you ship it out of state.
Join the Earl of Sandwich eClub. You get a free brownie for signing up, and a free sandwich coupon for your birthday. This is a great way to get a free lunch at Disney Springs if you are visiting WDW around your birthday.
