Money-Saving Strategies for Walt Disney World

by Jennifer and Dave Marx, Authors of PassPorter Travel Guidebooks

"Oh my gosh! It costs HOW much?" Don't let sticker-shock deter you from a wonderful Walt Disney World or Disney Cruise Line vacation. With a bit of knowledge and effort on your part you'll enjoy Disney's famous theme parks, hotels and magic, at a much more reasonable rate.

First, do your homework! The Internet is a great way to keep up on Disney discounts. Visit MouseSavers (http://www.mousesavers.com) for a roundup of current discounts, coupons, and deals. Join the TheMouseForLess community for more money-saving tips (http://www.themouseforless.com).

Disney's all-inclusive vacation packages are can be a bargain, especially when the Disney Dining Plan is included. But if you don't need or can't use the extra goodies and perks, you'll save money by booking a room-only reservation, and buying admission, meals, and extras once you arrive in Orlando.

Late spring and early fall are prime discount seasons for the Disney Cruise Line. Shop carefully, and pounce when a deal opens up. Otherwise, book far in advance to get an early-booking discount.

Avoid the Disney Land/Sea vacation packages that include a cruise plus a stay at Walt Disney World. Bargain-shop the cruise and resort stays separately. You'll have far greater choice and flexibility, too.

The free Orlando Magicard offers discounts on non-Disney parks, entertainment, rental cars, and hotels. 888-416-4026, or http://www.orlandoinfo.com/magicard.
