Out of all of the trips I had as a child, the number one Thing I remember is the fact that my parents never brought me inside the castle. That was probably a large contributing factor to why my daughter got to eat there when I could finally afford it.
I think this is a big part of why we go all out at Disney too. I was lucky that my Mom took us to Disney several times when we were kids, but she was a total penny pincher on those trips and didn't necessarily need to be. We never ate any meals in the parks - only the occasional snack or drink that my sister and I had to share. Of course, we never stayed on property, so we would eat a big breakfast before coming in the morning, we would leave the park in the early afternoon to go to an off site restaurant and then go back to the park for the evening.
The first time I went to Disney as an adult, it was sort of a budget trip, but we still stayed at All Star Movies and ate at least 1 sit down meal a day in the parks.
