Cheap motels. Or those timeshares where they give you nights free if you go to their seminar. Sometimes they even pay you money to go.

If you’re a member of AAA, they often have pretty good Disney vacation deals. There are only certain times of the year you can go and you stay in the value hotels, but they can set you up with different vacation packages at a pretty good price. They also can save you airfare.

Try Priceline as they offer great deals on Orlando vacation packages. You can choose your own hotel and flight plus if you book them together you can save even more money, you can also add car rentals if you like. With Priceline you can check out Hotel features and amenities, photos, reviews and maps. Other options include Last Minute and Weekend Deals and all Inclusive Packages.
Priceline is now offering a Sunshine Gaurantee for your summer vacation. Check internet for more details.
My suggestions: compare hotel and flights, is it cheaper to fly weekends or certain time of the day (it might make a difference leaving a few days earlier or later), non-stop flights, car rentals-is there any free upgrades, does the hotel offer any free breakfast buffets, child eat free programs or free parking.
Also try Try Disney World Tickets or Florida Orlando Tickets, they both offer great discounts to Walt Disney World’s theme Parks, spectacular dinner shows and other Florida attractions. Choose from “Magic Your Way” 1-7 and 10 day base tickets, Park Hopper and flex tickets. Attractions include Disney World, Universal Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Water Parks, Magic Packs, Pleasure Island and more. If you want to see it all and save try flex tickets. Pricing is comparable and affordable too. They both offer delivery or pick up just check which service is best for you.
My suggestions: either go with the flex pass if you want to see it all or base tickets. With base tickets you can see one theme park for one day, why pay more for Park Hopper when you can see other theme parks another day.
Disney World Tickets also partners with Orlando and Kissimmee Hotels to give you amazing internet special rates. To help you save money you can compare Orlando and Kissimmee Hotels, see which provides free shuttle service to Disney World, free breakfast buffets, does the hotel offer children eat free program, also look at free parking. Some hotels may even offer a discount of Disney World Tickets.
You can receive additional discounts on tickets on Disney World and other Florida attractions with DW Savers Club.
With Florida Orlando Tickets Disney’s Fastpass service is included with all Walt Disney World Tickets. They also have special package deals but are limited, so check regularly.
Tips and suggestions: think about how many days you’ll be there, make a plan for each day and stick to it, compare ticket prices and hotels, have a good breakfast and bring a light snack and most of all Have Fun!
I hope that helps and answers your question. Have fun.

your going to want to go during an off season, when it’s not so busy and rates are so high for rooms. ALSO you should try to go when they are offering FREE dinning with your stay and park pass and hotel( which you pay for). This alone will save you a lot of money. If you can’t get off of work or what ever during the time they are offering this deal, then stick with the magic your way package which inclueds your food, hotel and passes.
Other ways of saving money is staying at a value resort. the rates are cheaper and they are all nice hotels and you will be able to utilize the free transportaion to and from the resort to the parks.
Um what else? Oh there are a lot of little things like bringing crystal light or what not to go packets and saving your water bottels and refilling them instead of buying a bunch of waters and drinks through out the day. Carry small snacks for the kids so that if they do get hungry you have something for them to munch on instead of buying a bunch of expensive snacks that they’ll eat two bites of and it will either melt or get waisted,
OH that dining package we speak of consists of ONE sit down (big) meal, ONE counter service( your typical fast food burger and fries or whater) and ONE snack, say a popcorn, or a bottle of water or a pretzel or whatever, PER DAY PER PERSON. This really is enough food trust me! And they have it set up so easy so that you know where you are standing with each person per day per limit. They have all the snacks in the shops and resturants labled so you know what you can get for the snack credit. As they do with the menues and so on, The Cast memebers are really good about helping you out with questions and so on.
ALSO I’ve found it’s better to be a little over packed then to forget something and have to buy it at diseny and pay double for it. SAY like you forget to pack bandaids for blisters, well your going to pay about 4.99 for a box of 15 instead of 1-2$ for a box of 25. Um sun screen and so on, BRING it, buying it there is SO EXPENSIVE. Unless you plan on going to wal mart or goodings when you get ther so you don’t have to bring so much luggage but try to not have to buy things on property. OH advil and that kind of stuff PACK IT!
any questions or other tips please feel free to email me I’ve been doing the Disney thing for the past 15 years. The past 5 I’ve been paying my own way so i’ve really learned how to do it as cheap as possible!

no matter what you do its not going to be cheap to stay at disney but heres some money saversss:D
1) stay at a value resort if you dont want to spend alot at a resort cause the value resorts are the came price as a hotel off the grounds and if you stay at a resort you can get the dinning plan.
2)the dinning plan is 39.99 for adults(per day, per person) and im not sure for kids but i know its cheaper then that. but anyway when you get this it might seem kindda expensive but its really not cause for lunch it is atleasttttttttt 60.00 and for breakfast its 60.00 and for dinner you get to get a sit down witch is atleast 300.00. soo it saves you a bunchhhh of money. and the dinning plan includes a sit down a over the counter and a snack and it deffinatly keeps you full:D it made me full and im never full haha.
3) go to a travel agent.
4)also if you stay at a resort you get transportation to the resorts to the parks. alsoooo if you fly in you can get the bus from the airportt. and this saves alot of moneyyy with the gas prices the way they are.:D
hope i helpedddd.
have funnnn.

WDW is not cheap but you can get some decent deals. Check out Mousesavers.com and Allears.net. Staying off property can be less expensive but you do miss the extra magic hours which can really be worth the extra money to stay on property. Look at the discussion board forums for tons of info
and finally join an online money making community like Sunshine. I have made over $700 there and it has all gone to Disney vacations check it out with this link
