Budget Disney Vacations for the Holiday Season

Budget Disney Vacations for the Holiday Season with These Tips

There is no place like Walt Disney World for the holidays. I’m pretty sure that’s how the song goes. A Walt Disney World holiday vacation is the best time of year to experience the magic of Disney with your family. Of course, it isn’t cheap, so before you do any planning, you should budget your trip. When you budget Disney vacations, it’s essential to consider all angles from discounts to earning cash and rewards. Here is a look at some easy guidelines that will help you budget your Walt Disney World holiday vacation and save money while you are there!

Make sure to check out some of our other Disney travel tips like our Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge Pro Tips: Conquer Black Spire Outpost

Budget Disney Vacations

Look For Promotions

When you’re budgeting for your Holiday Disney World vacation, the first thing you should do is try and get the cost as low as you can. The first way to lower expenses on vacation is by looking for promotional packages. Walt Disney World has a special offers page on the official website that contains package deals for a specific number of days.

Another way to bring down the cost of your vacation is to purchase your tickets in advance. Advance tickets cost less than buying at the ticket booth. You can even save on discounted multi-day tickets when you purchase through an authorized seller online.Budget Disney Vacations Minnie Mouse

Gift Cards

Reduce the cost of your holiday vacation by giving Disney gift cards to your family instead of other gifts. They can spend the money while on vacation and cut down on additional out of pocket spending. You can even request gift cards for yourself to help cut down on the overall price of the holiday. Another way to earn Disney money is by converting rewards points when you have a Disney Visa card.

Earn Money in Summer

The summer before a holiday trip is a great way to work on the other end of your budget. Instead of just trying to keep the cost down, why not try to add to your budget Disney vacations by earning more cash during the summer months. Try having a few garage sales. Consider other buy sell and trade groups to clear up clutter and earn extra money to use for your holiday vacation.

If you have another side hustle you would like to try, now is a perfect time. Anything you make should go to your vacation fund. A good roll of cash is always the best way to start budget Disney vacations, especially a holiday trip to Walt Disney World.Budget Disney Vacations

Price out Hotels

Disney conveniently lays out price ranges for different budgets. You can choose the type of accommodations you want based on what your budget allows. One tip is to purchase a little bit lower than what you think you can afford to give yourself some room. The hotel is the highest cost, so any money you can free up from saving on the value of the room can be used toward having more fun in the shops and restaurants, or on special tours and events. Don’t forget that some non-Disney owned hotels are still on Disney property.

Plan Your Meals in Advance

Walt Disney World has all of its restaurants and Menus available online. You can see the prices and plan where to eat well in advance. Since you have to do this anyway to secure reservations, why not calculate the cost of each meal and see how it fits into your budget Disney vacations? It’s a good tip if you are considering paying the price of the Disney Dining Plan. See how your spending compares before you purchase the package.

What are some of your favorite tips to budget for a Disney trip during the holiday season?

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

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.

    I have never thought about going in the off season. I’ve only ever gone on spring break or summer time and the lines are extremely long. This is a great idea, shorter lines and the weather isn’t so hot.

    Planning the meals in advance is a great tip to help keep the trip affordable. Also, that money you can earn during the summer might seem small, but it definitely adds up and helps with the expenses of the trip!

    These are great tips! We do a few of these but I always find a little more researc could have saved us even more. Planning our meals is the best tip! We try to eat breakfast at the hotel if they offer it or buy bread, sandwhich meat, eggs, and make our own meals!

    I think there are discounts for military at DisneyLand. I know my friends get discounted tickets to give at Christmas.

    Have always wanted to take my kids and visit Disney (World or Land, doesn’t matter which). One day I am hoping to be able to budget it, but most likely still going to be a few years from now.

    Yes! Great tip to plan meals in advance, it leaves out the guess work and makes not only meals go faster and smoother but stay on budget. My family plans to go on our first Disney vacation this coming summer so I appreciate the advice.

    We have gone to Disney once and spent some time checking out prices and promotions during their off season times. These are good tips to think about when we go again.
