Here's the easiest ways you can make your money go further for your next trip 👇
1️⃣ Don’t buy bottled water in the parks - This is one of the most overpriced items you can buy and there are so many alternatives to stay hydrated. You can bring in a reusable water bottle and get free ice water at any quick-service location OR you can carry in bottled water if you don't like the taste of the water in the parks because same 😂
2️⃣ Bring your own snacks - You can carry in food to all the parks! I mean you should definitely pick up some fun treats or do a character meal, but you can save serious money by bringing in your own food for some meals. I always order grocery delivery to our resort and we eat breakfast in the room before we leave. Then we bring in a small cooler with our go to snacks for the day - yogurt, Uncrustables, cheese sticks, meat & cheese packs, and fruit! 🧺
3️⃣ Buy discounted gift cards - Sam's Club & Target frequently have sales where you can buy discounted Disney gift cards and other retailers like Costco & Kroger do sometimes too! Gift cards are also a great way to control your spending in the parks on food and souvenirs ✅
4️⃣ Don’t buy park essentials - You should NEVER buy park essentials like ponchos, fans, sunscreen, first-aid items, etc. at Disney World unless you're trying to burn money 😂 Carry in a small park bag with all of these essentials that you buy before your leave 🎒 And while this isn't an essential, don't ever buy a bubble wand in the parks either 🫧
5️⃣ Stay onsite to save on transportation costs - Disney has so many great Value resort options that are competitively priced with off-site hotel options! 🏨 And not only is it easier and less stressful to use all of Disney's free transportation options, you can save serious money on parking fees and shuttle/ride-share costs when you stay on property 🚌
