Last week I posted A Disney World Vacation on a Budget, an article about how we went to Disney World for 9 days on a family vacation for only $1438 (hotel, plane, rental car, and park tickets), and I got tons of emails with questions. Most people wanted to know how to get started planning, so here are a few Disney World tips to get started. Don’t forget to check out our Disney Tips page for more money saving secrets!
Disney World Tips: How To Save Money
The first thing we did was order a FREE Disney vacation planning DVD. We showed this to the kids and it gave us a good idea of the types of things they wanted to do. If you are thinking of staying at a Disney World Resort the DVD will provide information about the different lodging options. It also provides information for entertainment outside of the park.
We also ordered a few Disney World Books to help us plan.
- My favorite is The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World! Unlike some of the other books that only do glowing reviews, The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World gives both positive and negative reviews of Walt Disney World and has tons of valuable information.
- My kids loved the Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World for Kids. This book has tons of great photos that will get them involved and excited about the vacation-planning process.
Make sure to check out some Disney forums to learn all the tips and tricks to having a fun and cheap vacation at Disney.
- The DIS Board will have everything you are looking for (and more). These members are die hard Disney lovers who have been many times and are happy to share the do’s and dont’s.
- The Disney Parks Mom Panel is a forum where online “Moms” (and Dads) answer your questions and offer advice and tips about Disney.
Don’t forget to read review before you book!
- Trip Advisor is a great place to read reviews and see some pictures.
