Budget Disney Trip Tips You May Not Have Thought About

If you are planning a budget Disney trip, you may have all sorts of plans for you you will save money leading up to your trip and while you are on vacation. While it is better to raise a little bit more money to spend on your trip, we understand that sometimes you have to cut back on vacation expenses. So, here are some of the best ways to save on a Disney trip that probably never would have occurred to you.Disneyland ferris wheel

Take a Redeye Flight

In most cases, your first travel day is all about just getting there and checking in. If you’re lucky you have a nice dinner planned. Flying in from the west coast is especially hard because you lose so many hours during the flight and the time change. Travelers from the east have long flights and jet lag to contend with. The best solution? Take a redeye and arrive early morning. You can check your bags at the hotel and go straight to the park.

Disneyland Buzz Lightyear

This is not an option for everybody, but it does save you a day which means one less night to pay for. Plus, red eye flights are typically less expensive. It may result in lack of rest that first day and you probably shouldn’t try it with kids, but I can vouch that it does actually work and it’s totally worth it. If you can’t do the red eye but want to save on the flight, choose mid week arrival and departure dates and book about six weeks ahead of your budget Disney trip. It’s Believed that the best day of the week to buy your airfare is Tuesday.

Use Grocery Rewards

You can use rewards, not just as a way to save up for your budget Disney trip, but also to save money during your trip. Take advantage of offers for free rewards like bottled water and snacks. If you will be able to cook while you are in Walt Disney World you can bring certain items in your luggage to prepare once you are there. A free pallet of bottled water can save over $100 by avoiding the high price of bottled water in the parks.

Leverage Lodging

There are all kinds of little ways to leverage the cost of your stay during a budget Disney trip. You aren’t limited to simply picking a value resort or even staying at a cheap off-property hotel. Depending on your travelling needs there are plenty of cheap ways to accommodate your party.  DVC points rentals are just one example. You don’t have to buy DVC to enjoy some of the benefits of being a Vacation Club member. You can rent points and stay at Home Away From Home resorts for much less than you would otherwise expect to pay.

The Fort Wilderness Campsites are another way to save provided you enjoy camping. It’s a true wilderness experience and you can have a campsite for as little as $60 per night. Whether you have a tent or an RV this option can save you thousands of dollars. Check out our Camping Tips For Making Disney Affordable article too for more tips

Another way to leverage the cost of your resort is to fudge the dates so you don’t have to pay for as many nights or arrange your vacation so the dates fall on cheaper nights to stay. Use the ticket calendar on the Walt Disney World website as inspiration to see what dates cost less at the resort of your choice.

We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

    The great way to avoid budget is just bring most off the stuff you need.

    My husband and I did a DVC rental a few years ago for our 20th anniversary trip. We had a studio at the Contemporary which was a perfect location because we did 2 full days at the Food & Wine Fest.

    Having idea like this to save money can make the trip to Disney more affordable. We have taken red eye flights at a significantly reduced price and it has worked well.

      You are most welcome and with all that is going on right now with COVID-19 I’m sure once travel is okay again you’ll love the Disney trip even more. At least this gives you time to save 🙂

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
