Cutting Costs
-
Choose specific travel dates to save money. A trip to Disneyland does not have to break the bank if you follow certain cost-cutting travel expenses, such as staying at a hotel off the Disneyland property, choosing the cheaper dining establishments in the park and traveling in the low-season, between October and April. Plan on spending $100 per night for hotels off-site; this will save up to $150 per night on lodging.

Hidden Costs
-
Watch out for the hidden cost of travel souvenirs. Buying Disneyland souvenirs has the potential to add a large amount to your travel budget. The souvenirs--from hats and buttons to T-shirts and mugs--are hard to pas up. The average person spends between $50 to $100 on souvenirs while visiting Disneyland.
Bottom Line
-
Do not forget to add in thee price of a rental car to your trip. A conservative budget for a family of four spending a week in Disneyland is $3,500. This price includes a rental car at $200 per week, a hotel within walking distance to the park for around $100 per night, a food budget of $40 to 50 per person per day, the Disneyland admission ticket priced at $40 per day, and $100 per person for souvenirs. This budget does not include the cost of airfare.
