Planning your Disney World Trip

So you have decided to plan your Disney World Trip. But have you checked your budget. Yes it the down side of the trip. Since you do not want to overspend and be paying off that credit card for the next 2 years. I still know you want to go to Disney World and I am here to help you plan your trip.


You will need to know what time of the year you would like to go to Disney World. This alone will save or make you spend a lot more money.

First of all planning your Disney Trip requires work so get a pen and a piece of paper. Then figure how much money you can put towards the budget.

Travel

How are you planning to get there? Will you be able to afford plane tickets or will drive there? Well the simple way to figure it out is to calculate how much it would be to fly and then, remember to also calculate the car rental or taxi fare to and from the airport. Calculate the exact mileage and figure out how much gas money you will have to pay. How long will it take for you to get there if you drive? Would it require a motel or hotel add that to your cost of driving this do not forget to include food costs. Usually highway hotels run about 150 a night for a family for four. Figure food expenses in as well.

Food

What are you going to eat when you are at Disney World? The best and easiest way would be to eat at Disney World. But let me tell you something it really is expensive so I suggest to try and avoid eating at the Theme Parks. If you can avoid it then I suggest you should. But one small problem will come when you are enjoying the day at theme parks and you will need to eat lunch. If you do not have a hopper ticket you cannot leave the theme park and come back in again. This will mean you either lose half the day or you spend a bit more money when purchasing your Disney World tickets and get the hopper option. It will always be cheaper to eat outside Disney World. Go to a supermarket and get stuff to make sandwiches for breakfast. As for dinner check out the local restaurants for specials. You can also choose to prepare food yourself if your hotel has facilities such as a kitchen or microwave.

Hotels and Lodging

Are you going to stay on the Disney World Resort or off the resort? Staying at the Disney World resort has its perks; this comes at a price tag. Another option would be to stay a bit further from Disney World. Drive to Disney World everyday; just remember to add the extra gas cost to the travelling costs. There are onsite Disney resorts for a reasonable price. These resorts are called “Value Resorts” People who stay on Disney World Resorts can also participate in “Extra Magic Hours.” These are times when certain theme park attractions are available to those who stay on Disney Resorts.

Tickets and Admission

You must buy tickets in advance this way will not only save money but also time when you get to the Theme Parks. There are various options when buying tickets. The more days you buy the cheaper the ticket per day becomes. Also remember that children age 10 and up will pay adult price for the ticket. The base ticket is called “Magic Your Way” ticket this enables you to visit one theme park per day. If you add the “Park Hopper” option it will allow you to jump from park to park no problem.

All this planning will make for a fun and cheap Disney World vacation trip!
