How can I save money at Disney World?
The biggest savings come from your travel dates, resort tier and food choices. Decide what matters most first and spend there.
Start with the big three
- Dates. Off-peak weeks often cost less.
- Resort tier. A lower tier can free money for other things.
- Trip length. Tickets cost less per day on longer stays, but every extra night costs more in lodging. Compare both.
Food
- Choose a few meals worth a table-service price and keep the rest counter service.
- Bring snacks and a refillable water bottle, and check Disney's current rules on outside food.
- Eat breakfast at your resort or a nearby grocery stop.
Extras
- Decide on paid ride access, photos and souvenirs before you leave.
- Set a souvenir budget for each child.
