We stocked up on bottles of water with the quick serve meal at the hotel, beats buying water in the park.
One more thing, listen to the cashiers, they would often make recommendations about how best to utilize your snack/quick serve allotments. Paying $.50 for a piece of toast and getting a bag of chips to snack on in the park makes more sense than just getting the toast for free.
Oh, yeah. If you are traveling with little ones, they aren't necessarily resigned to the children's menu all the time. I remember we had allotments for adult sit down, child sit down, and quick service... These were not broken down by age.

Yes, to all this. Be sure to check with Cast Members about what qualifies as a 'snack'. You'll be pleasantly surprised what counts as a snack item.
Also, bring back your hotel mugs from prior trips. You can use them them in future years. No one will ever say anything or even imply you are doing something underhanded. We always bring old mugs and look around to see who has ones older than ours. Seeing an 80-year old couple with 'Dixie Landing' mugs sitting in the Port Orleans food court playing cribbage during a squall was a great moment. My daughter keeps an old mug in her car so she can grab a drink if she has work in one of the hotel shops.
Lastly, Disney gets the soda syrup free in return for advertising, so you aren't 'stealing' a drink and costing them a profit.
