Money Is A Huge Driving Factor

        When it comes to planning vacations, people tend to want the most amazing and exciting trips for themselves and their parties. The trouble with this common mind set is that not many of these people have the budget for these dream vacations, let alone extra money to spend while they're there.

Where To Stay: 

        When a person, or a group, decides to take a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort, in Orlando, Florida, the obvious hotel pick would be one of the Disney-owned resort/hotels that are located on Disney property. These locations are magical as they bring joy and laughter to a persons stay even after leaving the parks for the night. However, despite the magic that lies within the walls of the hotels, the magic seems to quickly disappear once you look at your checking account.
        Depending on which resort you may be looking at, as well as which room and the time of year, the prices per night will vary. According to a budget blog (at https://www.mousehacking.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-disney-world#budget) the cheapest non-discounted room rate among the Disney-owned resorts in the value season ran at around $141/night. This being said, it is important that you count the number of people in your party to find out how many rooms you may need and know how long you will be staying.
        If your party or group is on the larger end of the scale, it would be well worth it to explore hotels or rentals off-site of the Disney property. Yes, this may not be as magical; however, the expenses saved could be used towards other wonderful vacation activities.

What To Eat:

        Walt Disney World, as well as most of the other Disney locations around the world, is well known for the experience that it provides for its guests. This experience is provided through the theme park's ability to entertain, excite and of course feed those who are visiting.
        In Walt Disney World, Florida, one of the best places for someone to eat would be in the World Showcase inside of Epcot. In the World Showcase, visitors will find themselves trying authentic foods from all over the globe, and it can be hard to resist the temptation to eat it all; but, when it comes to saving money, the prices might outweigh the desire.
        One of the best ways to save money during your trip, in regards to eating, is to bring snacks with you into the parks. I'm in no way saying that it is bad to grab a bite to eat once or twice on your trip; however, it can save you loads of money if you can limit yourself to only buying one meal per day rather than buying all of them. By bringing in your own snacks or food, you can easily stay fed for at least the first half of the day and then buy a meal at dinner. This way, you can still experience the magical tastes of Disney while saving money!

Finding Deals:

        As you can find with most other vacations, deals on your stay or activities within your time of stay can prove to be a great way of saving money.
        At the Walt Disney World Resorts, special offers and deals make their way in and out throughout the different times of year. If you catch a deal regarding your possible Walt Disney stay, you'll want to snatch it up before it disappears again. The great thing though is that even though many of these deals disappear, more will always show up in the future. 
        One of the many recurring deals that customers can find for their trip involves U.S. Military Members. Throughout the year, these professionals will usually be able to find some sort of discount, whether it be park tickets or resort prices. These current deals can be found on the Disney website (at https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/). The next Disney deal, which is available to all guests throughout the year involves ticket prices. In short, the more days a guest plans on attending the parks, the cheaper the tickets become. More on booking tickets can be found at (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tickets-visit-guide/). 

As you plan your future Walt Disney World vacation, make sure to keep an eye out for ways to save while still experiencing the full magic of Walt Disney World!

 Pick Your Park Photo by Jose Mizrahi on Unsplash          When someone is trying to decide on which parks they will prioritize on their Walt Disney World Vacation, the Magic Kingdom is generally one of the obvious choices. Being what some would consider the main park of the Walt Disney World four-park Resort, it's not really an option to not visit for at least one day during your stay. Although this park is considered the most well-known of the four parks, it's still important that you research things to do prior to your arrival.

 Choose Your Disney Park Photo by Patrick Hunt on Unsplash          When a person decides to take a trip to Walt Disney World, the next decision after planning would be to choose which parks to attend and on which days you plan to go to each. One of my favorite Disney parks to spend my time in, while I'm on vacation, is Epcot. This park is full of excitement, adventure and culture.  "The key to a successful day at Epcot isn't to ride as many rides as possible, but to experience as much as possible instead!" <<--- Click to Tweet What Is There To Do?          Unlike the other Walt Disney World theme parks, Epcot isn't mainly based off of it's children rides and themes.
