how to plan an inexpensive trip to Disney World. In no time at
all, you'll be able to pack up the little ones and head for your
dream destination.
Planning Your Trip
First of all, if you want to save money you must plan your trip
to Disney world well in advance. That's right. You can't just up
and decide, "Hey, today would be a great day to go to Disney
World" and then pack up the troops. Instead, you have to plan
your trip. You have to consider import details that can help you
save tremendous amounts of moola. Here are some considerations.
- The Disneyworld value season is normally between January to
May (excluding spring break), August, and mid-December. To be
sure, check the exact dates of the value season and then target
the off-season packages. Yes, by traveling off season, you can
save tremendous money. Aim for cheaper (not necessarily 5 star
but certainly not roach quality either). Look for packages that
offer you free breakfast or lunch and hotels without lots of
amenities. For instance, if no one swims, why pay for a pool?
- Visit the Disneyworld official website (www.disneyworld.com)
and look for information on lodging and entrance ticket prices.
Research diligently and look for coupons and other great
discounts.
- Try and get your hands on Disneyworld passports or lodging
bonuses, which will let you in the park early before the public.
Not only is this very economical but it will also allow you the
opportunity to avoid all those long lines and crowds.
- If you are planning to stick around for a few days, consider
multiple-day passports which give you discounts. For instance,
one-day Disneyworld passports are more expensive than three-day.
- Remember that all Disneyland passports are nontransferable and
nonrefundable. Make firm plans to attend before you buy those
Disneyworld passports. After all, we want you to save money not
waste it!
