Walt Disney World Vacation

7 Ways to save money on a

Walt Disney World is the most magical place on earth but it can also be the most expensive place on earth. In this post, I'll be sharing my top ways you can save money on a Disney World vacation.

01

USE A TRAVEL AGENCY

You can save a lot of money by booking your hotel, park tickets, and flights in a package. Travel agencies are always aware of the best deals available and will help you build the perfect vacation at no additional cost to you. We always book our Walt Disney World vacations through Get Away Today. 

02

Visit during the off-season

Walt Disney World tickets and hotels are priced lower during the seasons with lower demand. Typically you will want to avoid traveling to Walt Disney World during the summer and holidays for fewer crowds and better prices. Our favorite times to visit are September and February.

03

Stay on property

Walt Disney World has over 30 hotels on the property. They have hotels to fit every budget and come with a lot of perks including early entry to the parks and free transportation. Staying on the property will save you time and money. We always stay in the value resort hotels.

04

Don't forget the essentials

Remember to bring essential items with you to the park such as sunscreen, medicine, diapers, wipes, jackets/sweatshirts, and of course ponchos because it ALWAYS rains in Walt Disney World. These items can be very expensive if you need to buy them in the parks. For example, a poncho will set you back around $20.

05

Bring your own snacks

Disney food and treats can be delicious but also very expensive. We always bring fruit snacks, pretzels, and sometimes PB&J sandwiches into the parks to save money for the treats at Walt Disney World we really want to try. 

06

order kids meals

If you do want to eat at Disney World, I highly recommend ordering kids' meals. They are the best value. Although the portions are a little bit smaller, they often include a vegetable and or fruit and a drink. All of this for a fraction of the adult entree price.

07

bring a refillable water bottle

With all of the walking and standing in the sun, staying hydrated at Walt Disney World is super important. Buying an ice-cold water bottle at Disney World will set you back almost $4. We save so much money by bringing in reusable water bottles and refilling them for FREE anywhere fountain beverages are sold.
