Planning a Disney Vacation? How to Go Without
Breaking the Bank...
A great idea for a five day trip is a theme park,
so...
If you're thinking about taking you're family on a
Disney World vacation, careful planning before you
go, could prevent you from spending a lot of
unnecessary money. Finding the best options for an
affordable Disney vacation takes a little research,
but the time you invest before you go will give you
the confidence that you are probably spending 20% to
30% less than the majority of Disney vacationers.
First time Disney World vacationers usually make
these same mistakes. They don't create a
comprehensive budget, let impulse decisions rob them
of special discounts on lodging, dining, car rentals
and park admission. Become a smart Disney shopper so
to speak.
The Internet gives you the tools to research a smart
Disney vacation. Look at the Magic Your Way
packages. These may work for some vacationers, but
they have stringent restrictions. Make sure your
family is going to use all the options in the
package, otherwise, you may find yourself upgrading
and spending money you you could have saved with
better planning. The pressure of being there and
making sure everyone in your family has a good time
makes it easy to pull your credit card out. Beware;
your next CC statement will show exactly what those
impulse decisions really cost you.
There are many great options available outside of
Disney World; explore them. Become familiar with the
areas surrounding Disney, there are lots of great
attractions and alternative lodging opportunities.
You can always mix things up a bit like spending a
few days outside the park and then moving your
family on-site for the remainder of your stay or,
vice versa. The point is to find the best trip
options available for your family and not leave
money on he table for the big tour or trip
operators.
The main thing is to have one of the most memorable
and fun family vacations ever. Careful planning will
make sure you have an affordable Disney vacation and
the good memories of this perfect five day trip will
last throughout the year. When you're not grimacing
over those unplanned expenses you may find on your
credit card statement for months to come.
