Okay, here I go, this has been the best luck for me with the food coupons.
Rule #1-NEVER GET LUNCH WITH A COUPON AT THE COMPETITION. This is extremely important because the food there is usually not very good. Instead, try one of the restauraunts inside Epcot. There is a place where you can get pizzas shaped ike mickey's head---my personal favorite. There also are a few places that serve burgers and fries, if that interests you more. These places are located right in the enterance.
Rule #2-Try to get 'lunch' around 3:00. Everyone knows about the late hours that we put in at the competion, and if you eat a big breakfast, using all of the coupon of course, you should last that long. Aslo, this prevents you from also buying dinner. If you get hungry later buy ice cream or something to hold you over untill breakfast
Rule #3-Always use all of your coupon!!!!! Nevernot get something just becasue you don't like it or are not hungry for all the food. If you fill up, any extra food can be used as ammunition to throw!! Just Kidding. You can always give the food away, for guys this should not be a problem, but girls, you can alwaysgive it to one of your ever hungry male teammates.
Rule #4-At breakfast, make sure you get everything you can, and even better if it is packaged to go already.
Rule #5-Get a waterbottle as your drink, and a milkshake or soda as your 'dessert'.
Rule #6-To go along with rule number 5, an entre to you is a dessert to somebody else

So, you can play around with the rules a little so that you can get the food you want. And remember sometimes 'value meals' or meal combos can be counted as only your entre. Try for as much as you can get.
Now for my favorites...
At MGM, try the commissary, and get the chicken nuggets
Also, the Mickey Pizza place in Epcot is always good.
Enjoy the information and best of luck to everyone at Epcot.
