    I’ve been to Disney World with my parents multiple times. I would first go to the Walt Disney World sites. To save money check out the value resorts or moderate resorts, on disney’s official site. Those resorts tend to cost less than the other ones. Try going during an off season. Fall’s almost done now, but you can go during winter. If you want to go to the water parks try going in late spring.
    Hope I helped :]

    Check a bunch of stuff online. Look for discounts & stuff. I went in Feb. & it was a good time to go :].The lines werent too bad. Maybe if you’re old enough you could get a job & save up & help pay ! You can convince them by saying stuff about how it’s ” so magical” ” happiest place on earth” lol .. make it sound really good :]

    because disney is amazing :]

    You need to approach them after you have done some research. A big reason that parents don’t take their families on vacation to Disney is because it is expensive. It takes a lot of research to plan an affordable vacation. Different seasons have different rates… those are really the only deals you will be able to find. Around this time of year they also offer free dining plans when you book and travel between certain dates.

    EXAMPLE VACATION:
    7 nights at Value Resort = $574
    ($82 a night x 7 nights)
    5- 6 day base tickets = $1,332
    ($37.50 x 5 adults)
    Dining = $1,050
    ($30.00 per person per day for 7 days)
    This example vacation is already costing $2,956.

    You still have to figure airfare/gas, souveneirs etc.

    Just play around on

    Play around on Disney’s website with their vacation builder to research some price options. If you can go in the offseason, such as January or February, prices are a lot cheaper. At some points in the year, Disney’s value hotels get down to $89/night! Tickets are expensive - they just are. There’s not a lot to be done about it, unfortunately.

    You could check out a good planning website, such as and try to come up with the cheapest way to go.

    when we went for the 4th. time to DW, before my dad actually got the idea of going again, i kept dropping little hints, like ‘Gee dad, I’ve been seeing a lot of advertisments for DW, I bet the park is soooo empty, it would be a great time to go down there, ya know!’ or ‘OMG dad, wouldn’t it be great if we went to DW again for your birthday?! (His birthdayis in Jan. , we have always gone around Jan-March, it’s a great time to go btw, not too many people there, and the wether is great)
    So just dropping little hints and comments like that made him interested in that again, and in 3 weeks, we were in Fla. again!!! :) I’m sooooo smooth!!!
    so, drop lots of hints, and make sure to make them interesting, and benefitting for them….it works….I’ve accomplished it! :) Good luck!
