That\u2019s because affording a Disney World vacation largely comes down to timing. Let\u2019s break it down to see how this works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dates\">Be Flexible When Choosing the Dates for Your Disney World Vacation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-magic-kingdom-castle-1024x920.jpeg\" alt=\"Disney World castle, with crowds in front - affording disney world vacation\" class=\"wp-image-23106\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:2000px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-magic-kingdom-castle-1024x920.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-magic-kingdom-castle-300x270.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-magic-kingdom-castle-768x690.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-magic-kingdom-castle.jpeg 1532w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to doing Disney World cheap, it pays to know that Disney pricing is determined by seasons. In short, when demand is high, prices go up and when demand is low, prices are cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affording a Disney World vacation largely depends on isolating those low-price seasons and booking accordingly.&nbsp;Generally speaking, you\u2019ll pay more if you travel during school breaks than you would if you visited when kids are in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can be flexible with your travel dates, you\u2019ll have a better chance of booking when hotel rates and ticket costs are cheaper. Avoid school holidays, if possible, and you&#8217;ll net fewer crowds and lower prices. In general, the most expensive times to visit include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>President&#8217;s Day through Easter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late June through the end of July<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Week of Thanksgiving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Week between Christmas and New Years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the less expensive times to travel include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monday through Thursday January and February (unless preceded by a holiday Monday)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>August through September<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monday through Thursday October and November<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"young\">Travel When Your Children Are Younger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While resort and ticket pricing vary according to season, you\u2019ll also see different prices across age groups. Disney hotels do not charge for children under 18 when staying in a room with an adult (but they will leverage an additional fee for more than 2 adults in the same room.) However, you\u2019ll also see that <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-tickets\/\">park tickets<\/a> are priced by age. Anyone over 10 pays the adult price. This makes sense, since children over this age are likely tall enough to experience all of the attractions across the 4 parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, children aged 3-10 will find a few attractions that they are unable to ride, due to h<a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Disney-World-Height-Requirements.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"20138\">eight restrictions<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/space-mountain-disney-world\/\">Space Mountain<\/a>, for instance, requires riders to be at least 44 inches tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compensate for the fact that younger guests will not be able to experience every attraction, Disney discounts tickets for children in this age bracket. This means you\u2019ll save money if you travel before your kids reach the age of 10. For instance, a 5-day ticket for an adult starts at around $511 for children aged 3-10. The same ticket rings in at $532 for anyone over 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since children under 3 can visit Disney World theme parks for free, many people will advise you to travel with toddlers in order to afford a Disney World vacation. This advice is fine if you think you will be taking more than one Disney trip during your youngster\u2019s childhood years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if this is your one and only visit to Disney World, we recommend waiting until your kids are old enough to enjoy and remember their Disney vacation. However, don&#8217;t wait until your children are older to start planning your trip to Disney World. If you start when they\u2019re toddlers, you\u2019ll have plenty of time to save for your future Disney trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accommo\">Doing Disney World Cheap, Selecting the Right Accommodations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hotel you choose is another big factor in determining whether you can afford a Disney World vacation. There are multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-resorts-list-disney-world-resort-hotel\/\">hotels across Disney property<\/a>, as well as nearby, all offering rooms at varying price points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing your hotel, you\u2019ll need to decide whether you will stay onsite at a Disney owned and operated hotel, or off property at one of the many nearby resorts or chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-resort-hotel-accommodations-onsite-off\/\">Staying onsite<\/a> has a number of advantages. For one thing, you\u2019ll have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-early-entry-disney-world-extra-magic-hours\/\">Early Theme Park Entry<\/a>. This exclusive perk allows you to enter one theme park per day a half an hour ahead of regular opening. If you play your cards right, you could experience one or 2 headliner attractions with little to no wait during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney resort guests also have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-transportation-between-parks\/\">Disney\u2019s complimentary transportation system<\/a>. This fleet of <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-buses\/\">buses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-boats\/\">boats<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-monorail\/\">monorails<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-skyliner\/\">Skyliner <\/a>routes helps you travel efficiently between your resort and the parks at no additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also park free when staying at a Disney resort and driving in or renting a car. This includes parking at your hotel and at the parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests staying at an offsite hotel will be asked to pay for parking when driving to the parks. While many offsite resorts do offer a shuttle transportation to and from Disney parks, some will charge a separate fee, and many will require you to book your transport in advance. If you\u2019re the type who likes to roll out of bed at will on vacation, and get a leisurely start to your day, this may not fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, offsite hotels aren\u2019t always cheaper. While there are a number of Good Neighbor hotels that meet Disney\u2019s exacting standards that  offer cheaper rates, some are more expensive than Disney\u2019s onsite value resorts. Keep reading to decide which is right for your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"value\">Disney\u2019s Value or Moderate Onsite Resorts Are Budget Friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Disney&#039;s Caribbean Beach Resort - booking a moderate resort is a great way to afford a Disney World trip\" class=\"wp-image-23103\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:2000px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort.jpeg 1533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since staying onsite has some definite perks for the Disney vacationer, we recommend that you look here first when planning your trip. Disney\u2019s Value resorts offer the most affordable rates of all Disney properties, as well as clean and comfortable accommodations and rich theming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney\u2019s Value resorts include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Disney\u2019s All-Star Sports Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s All-Star Music Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s All-Star Movies Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s Pop Century Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s Art of Animation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for larger rooms than you\u2019ll find at a Disney Value Resort, or nicer grounds for getting in a morning jog, consider bumping up to a Disney Moderate Resort. While these accommodations are pricier, you\u2019ll often find rooms that are comparable to some offsite chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Moderate Resorts include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Disney\u2019s Coronado Springs Resort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/port-orleans-resort-riverside-review\/\">Port Orleans Resort Riverside<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disney\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-caribbean-beach-resort-review\/\">Caribbean Beach Resort<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Cabins at Disney\u2019s Fort Wilderness Lodge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying at either a Disney Value or Moderate resort can be a great way to afford a Disney World vacation, and depending on the season you&#8217;re traveling, can even help you do Disney on the cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"value-1\">Offsite Good Neighbor Hotels Provide Disney Quality at a Value Price Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To afford a Disney World vacation, some travelers book hotels offsite but near Disney parks. Since these include many popular chains, such as Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott, it\u2019s a great way for anyone with hotel rewards points to do a trip to Disney World cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, Disney has partnered with many of these properties to ensure that they meet the same exacting standards of a Disney World resort. Good Neighbor Accommodations are inspected frequently to ensure continued compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap has-accent-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:24px;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Great Amenities at a Great Price!

Fortunately, there are some informational tidbits that can make it easier to afford Disney World Park passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skip\">Skip the Park Hopper Perk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney World tickets come in many variations. The two most common options are the Standard Base Ticket and the <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-park-hopper-ticket-worth-it\/\">Park Hopper Ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Standard Base Ticket provides admission to one park per day. For example, if you enter <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/epcot-theme-park-original-story\/\">EPCOT<\/a> on the first day of your trip, you may only visit this park on that day. You may leave at any point you wish and re-enter, but you cannot \u201chop\u201d to another park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, a Park Hopper Ticket allows you to visit multiple theme parks in a single day. If you visit <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-magic-kingdom-park-orlando\/\">Magic Kingdom<\/a> in the morning, you can then hop on over to <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-animal-kingdom-worth-it\/\">Animal Kingdom<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/epcot-vs-hollywood-studios\/\">Hollywood Studios<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-worlds-epcot-park\/\">EPCOT<\/a> or all three in the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a Park Hopper ticket does provide you with maximum flexibility, it comes at a higher cost. It\u2019s an expense that many families simply don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling with younger children, you may find it takes you a full day to visit a single park. If you wish to take a break in the afternoon and visit your resort pool, before heading back to the park in the evening, you really won\u2019t need to purchase the Park Hopper either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to affording a trip to Disney World, skipping the park hopper perk is another way to shave dollars off the cost of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"base\">Saving with a Standard Base Ticket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While purchasing a Standard Base Ticket over a Park Hopper Pass will automatically save you money on your Disney vacation, there are ways to save even more. Again, it comes down to timing, and when you take your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticket prices tend to be higher on weekends and school breaks. That means they are also lower when kids are in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To isolate the cheapest Disney World base ticket price, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/admission\/tickets\/theme-parks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disneyworld.com<\/a>, select the number of days you\u2019d like to visit the parks, and then scroll through the calendar on the page. You\u2019ll be able to see the ticket price for each day of the year. You may also speak with a travel agent and ask them to help you find the cheapest time to go, based on ticket pricing and resort rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last way to save with your Disney World tickets is to take advantage of periodic discounts. These can come in the form of a package booking, including discounts on tickets when you book a Disney hotel. At other times, discount tickets may be offered. In 2023 and 2024, we saw special rates on 3- or 4-day tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be alerted when discounted ticket specials are released, please <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/ninja-forms\/11fjme\">send us an email<\/a>. We will put you on the list to alert you to upcoming ticket specials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discounts\">Watch for Discounts on Hotels, Dining or Packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While deciding when to travel and where to stay should be your first steps in determining the cheapest way to take a Disney vacation, there are ways to save more. One is by taking advantage of available discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the year, Disney rolls out a variety of offers to help fill open room blocks at their onsite hotels. These include discounts on the standard room rate, special dining offers, or lower cost package pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since discounted offers are revealed randomly throughout the year, we recommend that you first isolate your travel dates following the tips above, as well as where you plan to stay. Then book your resort with a travel agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ll discuss in a minute, using a travel agent offers you a lot of advantages, and one is access to discount offers without having to monitor social and web channels for hints of offer releases. You\u2019ll have peace of mind knowing you\u2019ve locked in your favorite resort while your travel agent is being notified of applicable offers. When a discount is released for your dates of travel and resort, your agent will automatically rebook you to any cheaper rates that become available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If discounts aren\u2019t released for your travel dates or resort, a travel agent will alert you to your options. You can sign up for our monthly email below to keep abreast of special offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns

focus on cheaply securing a Disney World hotel and theme park tickets but forget about the additional costs of their trip, such as those associated with food and beverage. The good news is that you can make a Disney World trip even more affordable by thinking ahead and following some simple tips to reduce your dining costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skip-2\">Skip Meals Like Breakfast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When doing Disney on a budget, we often skip breakfast. If you\u2019re already thinking about the tears and rumbly tummies this may cause, let me clarify further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we often skip meals at our resort or in the parks, we don\u2019t eliminate breakfast from our routine entirely. Instead, we pack some things from home that can be easily prepared and consumed in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, our menu selections have included things like Pop Tarts, breakfast or protein bars and instant oatmeal. Most rooms are equipped with a coffee maker, so heating water is a snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re staying in a room that offers a microwave, you\u2019ll have additional in-room dining options. Since rooms include a beverage cooler, you can reheat refrigerator or freezer items, such as breakfast burritos. While you can\u2019t bring these items from home, you can easily pick them up with a quick stop at an area grocery store. Trips like these can easily be made using Uber or Lyft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"share\">Share Meals at Park or Resort Restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many people, portion sizes are shareable at Disney resort or park restaurants. If your appetite is on the slimmer side, sharing meals is a great way to save money on your dining costs and do Disney World on the cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly true for older children who may not want to eat from the kid\u2019s menu, but don\u2019t quite have the appetite for a full adult portion. Likewise, adults with smaller appetites are welcome to order off the children&#8217;s menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"character\">Choose Character Breakfasts Over Dinners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Character meals are the perfect way to visit with your favorite Disney stars, without having to wait in long lines. To top it off, the food is also great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drawback, however, is the price. Most character meals are offered buffet style, which can top out at $60 per adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can trim those costs by booking a character breakfast over a lunch or dinner. At the Crystal Palace, for example, dinner with Winnie the Pooh and friends starts at $59 per adult for dinner. At breakfast, the cost starts at $45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"payover\">Plan Ahead and Pay Over Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In one survey, 18% of respondents said they <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/28\/families-go-into-debt-to-finance-trip-to-disney-world-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">went into debt<\/a> to afford a Disney World vacation. With interest-free financing options available, this really isn\u2019t necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan well ahead of your vacation travel dates, you can take advantage of certain travel options that allow you to pay over time. One is by booking a package over a room only reservation. A package includes the cost of your hotel and tickets. You\u2019ll pay $200 to hold your reservation with the balance due 30 days before your arrival date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means, you can make interest-free payments on your vacation as long as the balance is paid by the 30-day mark. A travel agent can explain the details and set you up on a payment plan or you can book online and make payments yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/is-disney-visa-card-worth-it-disney-credit-card-review\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5729\">Disney Visa card\u2019s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/is-disney-visa-card-worth-it-disney-credit-card-review\/\"> <\/a>interest free financing option. Cardholders can pay for their vacation over 6 months without fees or interest. However, since you\u2019ll be charged the regular high rate of credit card interest once the 6-month period expires, booking a Disney travel package on a payment plan may be a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still use your Disney Visa card to make your package payments when booked online or through a travel agent, ensuring you receive your rewards points, but you\u2019ll have the advantage of a longer interest-free payment period if you book far enough in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making package payments is a great way to make a Disney trip affordable, because you can finance the trip without paying interest. However, if you&#8217;re booking less than 6 months prior to the star of your vacation, the Disney Visa card can give you 6 months of interest free financing that extends beyond your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c2277427afca65b426a29618553d32d\">Ready to Book Your Disney Vacation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us help!

In fact, for vacationers looking for cheap Disney World travel, skipping Multipass when possible could chalk up to big savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multipass allows you to skip the regular queue on many popular attractions in favor of an expedited Lightning Lane. (You can read all of the details on our comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/using-disney-world-genie-plus\/\">Multipass blog<\/a>). On the downside, you must purchase a Multipass before you can use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multipass pricing varies by date. We&#8217;ve seen Multipass top out at over $30 per person per day during peak travel dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, you can skip the Multipass service and still minimize the time you wait in line with the right strategy. This is particularly true at Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. By arriving for <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/walt-disney-world-early-entry-disney-world-extra-magic-hours\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6753\">Early Theme Park Entry<\/a> and riding headliner attractions early in the day, you can knock out many of the high-wait attractions before many people get to the parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-tips-to-help-you-afford-a-disney-world-vacation\">Other Tips to Help You Afford a Disney World Vacation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the guidance above will help you shave the biggest costs off your trip, but you can cash in on some other tips to make your trip even more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"take-a-pool-day\">Take a Pool Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first trip to Disney World was a whirlwind 3-night, 4-day adventure that left us little time for anything but hitting the highlights. While we told the kids up front that we wouldn\u2019t have time for the resort pool, they took one look at that elaborate waterslide, and the trip just wouldn\u2019t be complete without visiting the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral of the story here is that it\u2019s ok to skip the parks for a day to soak up some pool time, to resort hop or anything else your family would like to do. It might net you some added family harmony while also saving your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22456\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-2048x1229.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mickey-magical-pals-merch-collection-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"gb-button gb-button-99142655 gb-button-text\">Click to See More!<\/span>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan-and-book-with-a-travel-agent\">Plan and Book with a Travel Agent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously mentioned, a travel agent can apply discounts to your booking and schedule a payment plan for your trip, but working with a planner who specializes in Disney has other benefits. Because Disney planners are experienced with Disney travel, they can help you isolate the cheapest resorts and times to visit based on your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A travel agent will also lend the benefit of their experience to your trip, through valuable tips and insights that will save you time as well as money. Best of all, most agents will automatically rebook your trip if prices go down prior to booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"watch-airfare-over-time-and-book-when-the-price-is-right\">Watch Airfare Over Time and Book When the Price Is Right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It used to be you could jump on a Southwest flight the minute that fares were revealed for your travel dates and be reasonably assured you were getting the best price. Since 2020, the world of airfare pricing has changed, and finding the best flight for your budget isn&#8217;t always easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, that initial discount fare the airline provides turns out to be anything but bargain basement once you select seats for your family to sit together, pay for luggage and other upcharges that airlines may levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to finding the cheapest flights for your Disney trip, we recommend running fares early on, using a site such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/travel\/flights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Flights<\/a>. Then, set an alert to be notified when prices change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google will then send you an email each time the cost for fares rises or falls. You\u2019ll be able to see the range of fares offered for your dates and book when they hit rock bottom. You can even select a certain flight with a particular carrier and have Google alert you to changes in fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skip-the-rental-car-and-save-on-ground-transfers\">Skip the Rental Car and Save on Ground Transfers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to mid 2020, Disney World offered a service called Magical Express. Booking a Disney World resort or vacation package also included ground transfers from the airport to your resort (and back again) on the Magical Express fleet of buses, making it easy to do Disney on the cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Disney did away with this valuable service in 2020 and has given no indication that it will return again. Guests now visiting Disney World need an alternative option for ground transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some guests will <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-car-rental\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"542\">rent a car<\/a>. This makes sense if you plan to visit other sights in the area or are staying offsite and plan to drive to the parks. It isn\u2019t the most economical option, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Uber or Lyft is a more affordable way to get to Disney World from the airport. You can expect to pay between $35 and $55, depending on when you travel and the size of the vehicle you request. Lux vehicles will of course cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber or Lyft will pick you up at the airport and transport you directly to your hotel, but if you don\u2019t mind stopping at other resorts along the way, you might save money by booking a ride on a Mears shuttle bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Mears bus will run $16 per individual over 10 years of age, or $13.00 for children aged 3 through 9, making it ideal for parties of 2. For families, rates may get pricey compared to ride sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the length of your trip, shuttle service or ride sharing could easily be cheaper than renting a car for your entire stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-credit-card-rewards\">Using Credit Card Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several credit cards offer rewards on purchases that can later be redeemed for travel, making it easier to afford a Disney World vacation. When thinking about rewards cards for a Disney trip, the <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/is-disney-visa-card-worth-it-disney-credit-card-review\/\">Disney Visa <\/a>is one of the first to come to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Disney Visa by Chase offers 2 percent back on purchases at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants and most Disney locations. Rewards accrue as points that can later be used to pay for Disney travel expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other credit cards allow you to accrue points more liberally. The <a href=\"http:\/\/Earn 60,000 bonus points with Chase Sapphire Preferred. I can be rewarded, learn more. https:\/\/www.referyourchasecard.com\/6f\/GZRSK89R0M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chase Sapphire card <\/a>is one of our favorite travel rewards cards. In addition to offering 60,000 points at sign up, you can earn 2 points per dollar on all travel purchases and 3 points per dollar spent on online grocery purchases or at restaurants, to name a few of the earning perks. Points can be spent on airfare, hotels, rental cars and other travel expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other cards offer cash back on purchases that you can spend in multiple ways, including statement credits to help offset the cost of your Disney trip. If you use credit cards to pay for some of your expenses, it\u2019s worth looking into the different options and find the one that provides you with the biggest chance for earning rewards. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Points Guy<\/a> as a valuable research on everything related to travel rewards and associated cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-help-affording-disney-world-use-gift-cards\">Get Help Affording Disney World: Use Gift Cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard it before, you&#8217;ll be glad to know that Disney offers a gift card, redeemable for Disney travel and some onsite purchases. Gift cards are a great way to save money on a Disney vacation, thanks to the inherent flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one thing, they can be gifted. When someone asks what you want for Christmas or your birthday, requesting a Disney gift card can help you to afford that trip to Disney World a little easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, gift cards can sometimes be bought at a discount. If you have a Target Red Card, you\u2019re already saving 5% on purchases you make at the store. This perk extends to Disney gift cards, in essence, saving you 5% anytime you use your purchased gift card to pay for vacation expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you keep your eyes open, you may be able to find other discount deals on Disney gift cards. Best Buy has previously offered $50 cards for $45. If you have a Chase credit card that offers 10% back at Best Buy, you can save even more on a gift card purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"say-no-to-starbucks-or-joffreys\">Say No to Starbucks or Joffrey\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"964\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-restauran-joffreys-sign-1024x964.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23109\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-restauran-joffreys-sign-1024x964.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-restauran-joffreys-sign-300x282.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-restauran-joffreys-sign-768x723.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/afford-disney-world-restauran-joffreys-sign.jpeg 1533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re used to a premium cup of Joe in the morning, saying no to Starbucks or Joffrey\u2019s in favor of brewing coffee in your room could save you a bundle. Disney provides coffee, cream and sugar in your room, so it\u2019s easy so make and sip your cup of java while you get ready in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to making your Disney World trip cheaper, taking coffee in your room will also save you time in line. Believe it or not, you can find some of the longest lines at Disney parks at Starbucks and Joffrey\u2019s locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-the-disney-world-transportation-system\">Use the Disney World Transportation System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll see a number of ride sharing vehicles picking up and dropping guests off at Disney parks, including the exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/disney-world-transportation-comparing\/\">Minnie Vans<\/a>. While this may seem like a faster and more efficient way to get where you&#8217;re going, it does come at an added cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our last trip, we averaged $15 to $30 the few times we ordered up a <a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/should-you-use-uber-in-disney-world-the-answer-may-surprise-you\/\">Lyft to take us to the parks<\/a>. On the other hand, using the Disney World transportation system is included in the cost of your onsite Disney resort stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"avoid-in-park-purchases-where-possible\">Avoid In-Park Purchases Where Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Theme parks, like airports, take advantage of a captive audience to charge more for simple products like bottled water. To avoid the added expense, we stop at a Walmart on the way to our hotel and pick up a case of water bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every Disney resort includes a beverage cooler, we fill it up with our bounty. Each morning before we go to the parks, we transfer the contents of a cold bottle into a reusable thermal water bottle and take that with us for the day. Instead of spending $3.00 or more in the parks, we\u2019re getting the same product for less than a dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also want to consider bringing snacks from home to munch on in the park. Souvenirs are another area where you can easily rack up unexpected expenses, so surprising your children when you arrive with items you purchased at home, may ease the urge to buy items inside the parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"affording-disney-world-is-possible\">Affording Disney World Is Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are cheaper vacations than traveling to Disney World, making a trip isn\u2019t necessarily out of the question. With a little saving and savvy planning, you can make a Disney vacation fit your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"other-disney-world-tips-and-tricks\">Other Disney World Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/planning-disney-world-trip-budget-unexpected-expenses\/\">Planning Your Disney World Budget: 9 Unexpected Expenses You Can\u2019t Afford to Miss<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/pin-22-Tips-on-how-to-save-money-at-Walt-Disney-World-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23112\" style=\"width:336px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/pin-22-Tips-on-how-to-save-money-at-Walt-Disney-World-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/pin-22-Tips-on-how-to-save-money-at-Walt-Disney-World-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/pin-22-Tips-on-how-to-save-money-at-Walt-Disney-World-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/pin-22-Tips-on-how-to-save-money-at-Walt-Disney-World.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/secondstogo.net\/wordpress\/when-is-the-best-time-to-visit-disney-world-all-the-factors-to-help-you-decide\/\">When is the Best Time to Visit Disney World?
