Research the best times to travel to Disney World. Right after Labor Day, in September is a good time. It is considered value season for Disney so the hotels are less expensive than other times of the year.
Pack bottled water and snacks to bring to the parks. You won’t have to waste time finding someplace to eat every few hours this way, and you will save yourself a bunch of money because food is terribly expensive at the parks. With the bottles you are able to refill them at the many drinking fountains you will find in the parks.
Save money by not purchasing lots of souvenirs. One great idea is to purchase autograph books for kids. These are quite inexpensive, and they can get the autographs of their favorite characters. They will have something to look back on for a long time. Be sure to save room in their autograph book for pictures of their favorite Disney characters they may meet on vacation.
Book your trip as a package. Do not purchase your vacation pieces separately as it will cost you a lot more money. They give deep discounts if your purchase your vacation in whole. If you purchase your vacation all together you can usually add on additional items like a dining package.
Buy a park hopper pass. This will give you the option to go to as many parks as you would like to in one day. You will be able to do the things you want to do and see in less time, therefore you don’t need to spend too many days there.
Stay on Disney property. You will get free transportation to and from the airport, as well as bus transportation to the theme parks. It works out quite nicely and you do not have to worry about the additional cost of a rental car. There are other local hotels that offer free shuttles to Disney theme parks but do not have the airport shuttle which is quite convenient.
