5 Essential Tips for Saving Hundreds While on a Walt Disney Vacation!

For most families in the United States, one of the most sought after vacations is Disney World in Orlando, Florida.   But these days, with the way the economy is, a lot of families wonder if they can afford going to Disney World.  But going to Disney World doesn’t have to be out of your reach.   Here are some great tips on saving money when you go to Disney World.

• Go Through a Travel Agent –The first thing that you should do is to go through a travel agent. They are going to be able to get you the best deals and come up with packages that you won’t get anywhere else.
• Ask for a Hotel With Breakfast Included – The second thing that you should do is make sure that you are staying at a hotel that gives you a breakfast.  This way you will save yourself having to buy breakfast each day.
• Pack a Cooler – The third thing that you should do is to pack a lunch with you when you go into the parks.  Go to a retail store, buy a cooler, and then go to a grocery store and buy stuff for sandwiches.  Buy yourself a couple of ice packs and some bottled water that you have either frozen or kept on ice in your hotel room.  This will save you at least one meal in the park.
• Be Prepared – Next, if you are planning to go to the evening fireworks and you know that your kids are going to want to get those glow wands and necklaces, buy them ahead of time. They can often be purchased in dollar stores around the country, and you are going to pay a fraction of what you will pay in the park.
• Buy Sparingly in Parks – Finally, watch what you are spending in the parks.  Stick to things like shirts and autograph books, and buy other souvenirs in other areas. There are some great places not too far from where the Disney parks are that sells the same stuff as in the park but for much cheaper.
