What is your favorite money saving tip for Disney World?

We are going to Disney World next week! This is not our first trip, but it is our first trip where we are on an extremely tight budget. What is your favorite tip for saving money and still having fun while on a tight budget? We are staying at a hotel that offers free breakfast, so that meal is covered. We are bringing water bottles to save money on buying overpriced sodas at the park. Can I sneak in snacks? We’ll be eating lunch at the theme parks and possibly dinner on some days. I’m interested in knowing some tricks of other budget conscious travelers for meals or otherwise. Thanks!

    No reason to sneak in snacks as they are welcome into the parks! My family and I loaded fanny packs with snacks. Security searched the packs everyday and nothing was said. We also used insulated water bottles that could clip on to our belts. We mixed gatorade powder into the water the night before to give it a little flavor and froze the bottle in our rooms (we had a fridge). They next day we had a cold drink for most of the day.

    If you are on a budget, then you’ll most likely be eating counter service. The double burgers at most of the counter service places were large enough to feed one adult and a child or 2 kids. Not all the counter services had equal quality or equal proportions, so do some research at allears. net for the latest information.

    We rarely ate inside the parks. We ate a good breakfast, snacked during our park venturing, then ate outside of Disney property. That in itself will save you a bundle.

  3. Bringing water and snacks in a good idea. If you are bringing a lot of heavy stuff, consider renting a closet at the front of the park. Money saved by not paying Disney rates for two bottles of water to cover rent tables and save back all vuče.Ako will be eaten either sit down meal, consider a late lunch instead of dinner. Lunch menus at most restaurants are very similar to the dinner menu, but costs less. This also applies for buffets. I also had more luck with getting the place for a late lunch when you have no rezervaciju.Sretno store and enjoy your vacation.

    well not to sneak things in. They allow you to bring snacks. the only requirement is that they must be ready, but it can not be something that should be boiled or put together. so you could actually take a sandwich, if you htjeli.mi usually bring snacks such as chips, cheesy crackers, granola bars. . . . things like toga.osobno money saving tips I’d say that someone will be: Adopt-drink bottled Adopt-package bit-Try to limit foods they eat in the parks. When not staying at Disney hotel that’s what I always did. bring drinks and snacks, buy some chocolate milk and french fries, then go to McDonalds or Burger King or Denny’s after I leave the park. but since lately I’ve been staying in a Disney hotel I just get the dining plan and not worry about hrani.-be limited to the amount of money per person for souvenirs and really try to stick to it. I usually bring $ 150 for souvenirs for themselves and tend to spend a little less than that amount. I get a lot with him. Last year I got 9 items for $ 150 so I’d say that pretty dobro.-Try your hardest not to waste money on wardrobe. Just bring a backpack they allow backpacks on every ride, so it will not be a problem and limit what you bring to the Park at a minimum. such as telefonnovčanikkameravideokamerapića and zalogajeovisno on time of year rain Ponchoi depending on what time of year you go jaknu.NE bring extra clothes they take up too much space, and there are only a few rides in all four theme parks that may get wet doing it. If you spill something on your self, if you rinse off and stand under the hand dryer for several minutes. I just really get annoyed when people want to bring extra clothes. I have passed many times, he never brought extra clothes and just really would not like extra clothes once a splash mountain out of sequence, and where you are supposed to think you’re gonna get wet, but actually we got absolutely soaked. I was dripping wet all day.

  5. staying longer!

    you pay less everyday that you are there,

  6. You can get free ice water at any counter service restaurant. It saves you from carrying around water all day.

    When I’ve been on a very tight budget, I’ve even taken a cooler in my car. If you get to the parks early and/or have AAA Diamond parking, you can go out to your car for sandwiches, etc.

    Also, here’s a list of free, fun things you can do: http://disneyworldadvice. blogspot. com/2008/06/free-things-at-disney-world. html

    Finally, don’t go to the parks everyday. We often take at least one day to enjoy our hotel swimming pool and go to Downtown Disney and/or visit some of the luxury resorts. You can even ride the monorails for free – they don’t “punch” your ticket until you go into a park.

  7. Joel gave my best tip! Anywhere they have fountain drinks you can get FREE ice water!!! This will save you from having to carry the water bottles around with you, and you also won’t have to shell out $3 for a bottle of water. I also do this at counter service restaurants. I’ll order the “combo meal” but say I don’t want the drink, and the meal becomes cheaper!!
