Budget Disney Vacations
You might vow to avoid the gift shop but it’s hard to leave Disney without at least a pair of mouse ears. The sites below offer some more reliable ways to save on your trip.
Dulcinea's Insight
- Of course, one of the best ways to save money on planes and hotels is to go during the off-season, if that’s possible for you. Disney deems the following periods “value season,” during which you can expect lower hotel prices and fewer crowds: Jan. 1–April 13; April 30–June 1; and Aug. 27–Dec. 21. However, some travel industry insiders have different perspectives. This Boston Globe writer’s favorite time to visit is from the week after Thanksgiving until mid-December.
- Using a vacation planner or travel agent to plan your Disney vacation may also save you money. Some of them offer low or no fees and they often have access to the best deals.
- If you do decide to book your trip on your own, the findingDulcinea Travel Web Guide has a few hotel- and flight-finding sites that search for discounts and ensure you’re getting the best deal. The findingDulcinea Budget Travel Web Guide might also be helpful for finding discount airfare.
- If you plan to rent a car, you can find considerable savings by booking a hotel or other accommodation a few minutes further from the theme park. You might also be able to forgo the rental car, as many area hotels operate free shuttles to and from the park. However, the aforementioned Boston Globe travel article notes that finding affordable accommodations inside Disney is possible.
