Budget Disneyland Vacations
If you really want to save money, don’t stay at a Disney Resort Hotel. You’d save a lot of money (and I mean… a LOT), by looking for lodging within a few miles of Disney. Google “vacation homes disney”, or some variation of it, and you’ll be amazed at the kinds of choices you’ll find.
Of course, if you’re on your FIRST Disney vacation, then you can still book ONE night at the resort, while staying the other nights at your inexpensive vacation home, room, motel or apartment.
Meals
Make sure that your room has a refrigerator. Before you go to sleep, go to a von’s or boney’s and stock up on fresh foods, preferably veggies, nuts and the like. Why? Because if you don’t, you’ll do a lot of impulse buying in the park when you get hungry. Veggies, nuts and the like will give you good nutrition throughout the day. Also, pack water bottles and don’t feel too proud to refill your bottles at the food stand you stop by for an occassional impulse purchase. Rather than eat three large meals, try to space out your meals and have six, smaller meals. You’ll not be exhausted at night. (You’ll thank me for this one!)
If you do break down at the park, and your impulses lead you to a food establishment, don’t be surprised if after your meal your: (A) still hungry; or (B) you don’t feel so great. The reason for (A) is that the portions are not large and the quality of the food is not the best. The reason for (B) is that the food must have preservatives, to last long, and they must have seasonings, usually chemical, to cover up the bland taste of the lower-quality food itself. I know I’m not making any points from park food establishments, but HEY! Maybe this is their wake-up call, eh?
Rule number one: Don’t buy a Disney package.
Rule number two: Always refer to Rule number One.
Now, we’re not saying that all the stuff you get in Disney packages aren’t good, because they are. The problem is that you probably won’t have three weeks to use all they put in those packages. The travel agencies know this, and make the packages sound like you’re saving so much money because, if you used all the specials you WOULD save that all that money. But they know you WON’T use all of them. As a matter of fact, they’re COUNTING on you NOT using them.
If you ask people how many items in a disney package they actually used, and how much money was actually saved ONLY on the items they used, and compared the cost of the package, there would NOT be a savings. You might even find out you paid a lot more than if you had just shopped the individual tickets yourself.
Use Seasonal discounts
The law of supply and demand works on this one.
During peak season, disney doesn’t NEED to offer specials on their Supply of tickets, because DEMAND is so great. However, during off-peak season, Disney MUST offer specials on their Supply of things for you to buy, because DEMAND is so poor. They NEED more people to come into their parks and buy things, because their expenses are just the same during OFF season as they are during PEAK season.
Off-Peak season usually runs from October through April.
Book your airfare about two months before your vacation, and you’ll probably end up with the best rates. Also, see if you can convince the rest of the family to go during OFF-season, because your airfare will probably be much less than during PEAK season.
Park Tickets
To see everything in each park, you’ll be hard-pressed to see it all in two days, they’re that big! So, if you have only four days for Disney, consider purchasing a three-day ticket for just ONE park, and use the fourth day for visitng some sites of interest OUTside of Disney. You’ll have a more relaxed stay and you can come back another time to visit the second park.
Doing this will also save you a LOT of money because, if you buy tickets for BOTH parks, and yoru visit to each park is spent racing through each park, while missing much of each park, you’ll feel exhausted and disappointed that you didn’t’ see everything. More importantly, you’ll have paid DOUBLE, because you paid for TWO parks, and you’ll probably feel the whole thing may not have been worth what you had hoped.
