I’ve gotten quite a few emails over the last couple years asking how to vacation at Disney World on a budget. So I asked a friend who loves Disney to give us all his best tips. Look for a series of 12 posts dedicated to nothing but how to Save at Disney!
Vacations are not inherently “cheap.” You can, however, have an enjoyable vacation for a good price. It’s about building value. Finding time to rest and have fun is very important, but so is making your penny stretch. Just like with couponing, planning is very important to the success of your vacation. Make a budget, set aside money each month, and then pursue your vacation idea. Below are some ways to maximize your budget and experience at Disney World!
There is a ton of information about Disney World and lots of decisions to make. All I’d like to do is present a few facts about Disney World and share advice from past experiences. We are going to break this up into a daily series over the next two weeks to try to cover everything!
Basic Planning Guide
What Walt Disney World has to offer:
4 Parks
2 Water Parks
20+ On Site Resorts
Downtown Disney
DisneyQuest Arcade
Sporting Activities
Disney World has some great tools that will help you in your decision making process. They offer a free planning DVD with some great tips if you want to check it out. There are lots of great books to read if you’d like to know more about Disney World as well. Birnbaum’s is my favorite, but I’ve heard that The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World is helpful too.
