9 Tips on How I Go to Disney World on a Shoestring Budget
By Tim Burton
What you are about to read… will save you loads of money !
Many families get quite a shock when they calculate what it will cost
them to have a Walt Disney World holiday.
You'll need flights, accommodation, car hire/driving costs, food,
passes to Walt Disney World (they are expensive - children are
classed as ages 3-9 years old and costs not much less than adult
prices), entertainment, and more...
I am going to show you how to have a budget-wise Disney holiday.
Tip # 1. Do it Yourself
Book your Disney World vacation online.
You will find the cheapest rates by booking each component
separately yourself - air, accommodation, car hire and even theme
park tickets.
You can book way in advance and still get the same savings as if you
had booked last minute. The difference is that booking last minute
can cause you stress. So Relax !
Take your own food and drink. If you're taking a charter flight, you can
pay far more than you want to pay for in-flight food and drinks. You
might not even enjoy it.
Tip # 2. Rent Orlando Villas directly from the owner.
Stay in a privately owned villa or vacation rental home within 20
minutes drive of Walt Disney World.
People in Europe have been holidaying in private villas for years.
Many Europeans and North Americans now own villas in Orlando all
within 20 minutes drive of Disney.
These privately owned homes belong to families just like yourselves.
Because these families vacation in their homes as well, they are fully
equipped with everything that you could hope for.
The price you pay is where the bargain comes in if you book directly
from the owner of the property. Vacation homes near Disney can start
from as little as $89 to less than $160 per night for a whole family
sized house. Price often depends on the season and quality, level of
privacy and amenities of the villa that you want.
Your whole family could have room to themselves instead of
cramming together in the same hotel bedroom.
Plus, you can have lounge, private pool, spa, game room, full
kitchens and much more than I can mention here.
To make your holiday even cheaper, split the cost of your villa with
another family.
Orlando has many huge 2-8 bedroom villas that can sleep 2-4
families. 7 Bedroom Vacation homes near Disney sleep up to 15
guests. They have multiple master bedrooms. So each family can
have a master bedroom and extra bedrooms for the rest of the family.
They also have multiple bathrooms and multiple living/dining areas.
So if you don't mind sharing with friends or family you could save
even more money on accommodation.
Sign up for newsletters on Vacation homes near Disney websites.
That way you can keep abreast of special deals available.
Look out for Late Availability Deals near Disney from private villa
owners
Once you rent a private villa you won't want to ever use a hotel again.
Tip # 3. Go Off Season
Prices plummet when the kids are back at school ! You save more
than 50% on flights, and at low season, Orlando vacation rentals are
much cheaper.
Flights:
You would be amazed how much you can save in airline tickets if you
go low season, especially if your family is large.
Sign up to newsletters with your favourite airlines to hear about the
best flight deals first.
Seize the specials by looking out for bargain flight offers in good time.
Many websites specialise in finding air fare deals. Use farefinders.
These are websites that search for cheap airfares.
Look out for newspapers that offer flight discounts that involve
collecting tokens. Some have 'buy one get on free deals' on flights at
specific times of the year.
Don't fly at weekends if there are surcharges.
But, who wants to go to Walt Disney World when kids are Back at
school ?
If you are a bargain hunting holiday-maker, you might consider it if
you realise the savings you could have.
Tip # 4. Spend Less on Your Family's Food
Food is expensive in the theme parks without a doubt.
You can eat meals in your Florida Villa and save money. You get a
fully equipped full-size kitchen. You don't have to cook. You can fill the
refrigerator with food from the Supermarket.
Bring snacks and drinks with you from your villa, to the Disney Parks,
especially on hot and humid days when your kids need to drink lots of
liquids all day long. Freeze drinks in a drinks cooler and take them
with you frozen.
You and your family can return to your villa for lunch and a rest and go
back to the Theme Parks refreshed and fed.
If you drive from home to your holiday villa, shop before you go. Bring
your favourite items from home.
Have breakfast at restaurants that allow kids to eat free. They
advertise this in their windows.
Look out for restaurants offering free kid's meals.
Pick up money saving booklets from the local Supermarket. They are
loaded with money saving coupons.
Look out for coupons that save you money at full service restaurants
as well as your fast food chains like McDonalds.
You can find some good deals at Walt Disney World if you choose
carefully. A family of four can easily spend $50 for little more than a
snack.
A better option is for you to splash out once or twice in the Disney
World 'Parks on the 'all you can eat character meals' or on 'fun
themed restaurants'. This can make your
holiday even more memorable and make for good photo
opportunities.
Popular buffet restaurants with fairly good prices include character
breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table, and the Polynesian Resort's
dinners where food is cooked at a firepit, games are played with the
kids, and food is brought to your table time and time again. The
Boma restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge has a huge selection.
Also, for a bit more than $50, you and your family could eat a full buffet
at a fun restaurant such as the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom,
which has Winnie the Pooh and his pals in attendance
Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets are $15-$29 per person. Kids
have their own meal choices, plus a make your own sundae bar.
There is a good selection for parents and your glass of drinks will be
refilled to your content.
Tip # 5. Save money on Theme Park Tickets and General
Entertainment
It's always wise to spend some time developing an itinerary before
you buy your Theme Park tickets, because the right passes for you
depend on how you plan to spend your days.
Be sure to check all your options. You may be overlooking a special
deal for which you qualify, such as Florida resident, military/civil
service, and corporate discounts
There are lots of legitimate ways to get discounted Walt Disney World
passes.
Unfortunately, there are also lots of places where you can get ripped
off. So be very careful.
The WalMart at 4444 W. Vine in Kissimmee, has a travel agency
called Wal-Mart Vacations that sells discounted Disney World tickets.
The prices are discounted about 5%. But, they may not carry every
type of ticket.
Pick up a money saving coupons booklet from the local supermarket.
It is not just for food.
There are also money saving coupons in those booklets for
admission discounts to places like Universal Orlando, Sea World,
Busch Gardens and more.
Some popular events are also promoted at times such as Disney on
Ice, "buy one get one" coupon.
You can even save money on adventures like go-cart racing, with free
'buy one get one free coupons'.
Tip # 6. Free Admissions at Disney !
Visit Disney's resort hotels (for example when you dine at Boma), but
you do not have to dine.
Tour the grounds, marvel at the gardens and architecture, listen to
the music, and mingle with the cast members.
If you do dine make sure you give yourself a lot of time before dinner,
so that you have plenty of time to savour the sights in daylight.
Tip # 7. Car Hire Savings
Look out for car rental savings from almost all of the national car hire
companies.
Tip # 8. Airport Parking
Book your Airport Parking in advance. It is much more expensive on
the day.
Check your car insurance or roadside assistance membership for
special offers on airport parking.
Some airport hotels offer one night pre-flight stays that include
holiday parking.
Look out for other parking offers.
Book your cab/minivan in advance. Negotiate a deal with the driver to
pick you up on return as you are giving them double business.
Tip # 9. Buy Low Cost Travel Insurance
Compare prices and make sure that it has what you need. If you're
going away more than once in the year consider an annual policy.
I always save loads of money whenever I go to Disney, and I still have
a Disney holiday in luxury and style... you can too!
