Traveling to any Disney World can be very expensive, but here are some ways to help you save some cash when going.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Don't go during peak season.
    Try to plan your trip where your days do not fall on peak season. An example of peak season would be around Christmas time. Your hotel prices will cost more than during an off season.

  2. Step 2

    Stay at a value resort.
    Some of the Disney resorts can be over 500 dollars a night. So if this is out of your price range do not fret. The values can sometimes run under a hundred dollars, depending on the time of year.

  3. Step 3

    Restaurants.
    Check out some of the restaurant's menus before you leave to go on vacation. That way you will know what is going to be in your price range. While you can get a burger for under 10 dollars, some places can cost more than 100 dollars a person.

  4. Step 4

    Bring snacks with you.
    It is usually cheaper to eat something that you have gotten off of Disney property from a Wal-Mart then purchasing their snacks. Also if you decide to go to Wal-Mart you can pick up some waters and drinks that you can bring with you instead of buying them in the parks.

  5. Step 5

    Use the bus systems.
    If you are staying at a Disney Resort you can use their bus systems. This is a great idea especially if you do not know where you are going. Not only will they take you there, you will be using Disney's gas instead of your own.
