Saw this at a Disney park:
Stroller: zip tied to the handlebars was a plastic shoe organizer. Each sippy cup, water bottle, pocket fan, baby wipes package and sun block, etc. was in an easy to grab spot and didn't consume room in the underneath of the stroller.
While most of these are great I do have to say that the food inside the park is amazing! Half the reason I go each year is for the food so if you are skipping that cost to bring your own, you are missing a big part of the Disney experience.
The best Disney tip if you’re going with small children is to bring tiny bottles of bubbles or glow sticks, even kinetic sand (just anything small, travel friendly) it will keep the little ones busy while standing in those super long lines. If I didn’t do this my daughters would always be complaining and be very impatient. We’d probably never get to ride or see characters as much without those little toys
We hated Disney
Love all the tips except packing a lunch. Disneyland is known for their amazing food and restaurants it’s pricey, but worth the money you pay.
I I know it is 20 dollars but I highly recommend the Ariel mermaid bubble maker l. They are the best! You can refill it with any bubbles (even homemade) and it is high quality so you bring it home after!
My family visited Walt Disney World a few years ago. Instead of bringing in drinks or buying ones in the park we found out you can actually walk right up to any drink and food booth or restaurant and get a free large cup of ice water with lid and straw at any time, no purchase necessary. We took advantage of this free service all day long.
This is AMAZING I'm going. To be sharing it with my mom. My husband & I plus our 2 kids. Are going to Disney the 1st week of December. This is really going to help us out. Thank you sooo much!!! 💗😊
Wow this video was a life savor! Thank you so much for sharing!😊
What is considered off season
My fav Disney budget tip is bringing my own water bottle! Disney will give u free cups of ice so I went up to grab-n-go restaurants and asked for ice when mine melted. So much better than buying expensive water, plus, better for the environment:)
Sweetie you never wear flip flops. Disney fanatics know you wear shoes always gotta be shoes lol
Awesome video
ESPN Zone closed! Boo!
Love your Lula 😉
I just viewed your YouTube video about saving money with Disney. It was interesting. I want to share my experience with you about my timeshare and how it relates to DVC. My wife and I have been WorldMark timeshare owners for over 23 years. We purchased our timeshare for about 7,200 dollars for about a 5 to 7 day stay. Depending on room size and the time of season. We get 6000 credits every year. We can save our credits for the following year and we can also borrow up to 6000 credits from the following year. It cost us about 10,000 credits to get a 2 bedroom at a DVC during peak high season. We pay about 600 dollars per year in maintenance fees. We paid our timeshare off back in 1995. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY. We joined RCI and paid a fee of 99 dollars per year. The exchange fee is about 189 dollars. We know we have to book 2 years in advance to get a chance at a DVC Resort. We did that twice with no problem. We were able to get the Animal Kingdom Kidani 2 bedroom with a Savanna View around Easter! We also got Saratoga Springs around Easter by booking 2 years in advance. Out of curiosity I checked the cost via the Disneyworld website for non timeshare owners. The cost for a 1 week stay at Animal Kingdom was just short of 10,000 dollars! We saved about 9000 dollars! Wow! We are so happy we purchased our WorldMark timeshare! We do have to be patient. We did that by booking 2 years in advance. It is well worth the wait!Read more Show less
We plan our FPs 60 days in advance. Dining 180 days in advance. Stay on property for EMHs. Get the Memory Maker with Military Discount. Get dining plan cause dining at Multiple Expensive places/Character dining. Use Disney Magical Express if u plan to not Leave Disney Property.
If you've only been once you don't know what you're talking about. Going counterclockwise is the busiest way to go because that's which direction the best rides are… And you can't bring an entire meal inside! Please don't misinform these poor people that save their entire lives to go. Stick to what you know DOITONADIME
If you get to the park right as it opens, skip to the popular rides because the employees allow skipping and don’t allow running😄
Its not really a money saving tip but on the monsters inc. Ride if you ask for a buddy pass you can skip the whole line
Woah I wanna go to Disneyland one day
How much did u spend on hotel,flight,car for 6 nights ? And is april a good time to go because im going in april next year?
If you go up to a place that sells drinks and ask for ice water and they will give it to you for free and you can bring lemon packets from the dollar store you get free lemonade and water for free !!!
Your the best keep these do it on a dime budget tips coming ty
i have to disagree about not buying park food. invest in the disney snack plan instead! a lot of the restaurant had “snacks” that you could pile up into a meal, a lot of the little shops had almost all of its menu be snack compatible and by the end, my family of six had so many left over, that we spent them of special disney candy and treats. and it was much less expensive!
i also have to disagree with the disney photos. with the photo pack that we bought, we got every photo from our rides, all photos with characters and photos in front of stuff like the castle and tree (we went a week before christmas, before all schools were out). all they did was scan your magic band and take the photo. no hassle at all
I had 3 boys and a 8 year old , one of the ways I saved was ordered pizza and salads one night from the hotel. we went mothers day….we had so much fun.
It’s great and all to save money, but I feel like constantly budgeting, cost cutting, and bargaining takes away some of the magic of the trip. When I was little, I always loved going out to the parks, eating the good food, getting toys at the stores, and overall having a good time without worrying about the bill. It sounds awful, but the expensive splurges are what made it fun for me. I understand that some people can’t afford the park food or overpriced mickey plushies, but there are some times where you should stop worrying about cost and say “yes”
We do Walt Disney World every year. The last four years we’ve included a Disney cruise with the stay. I’ve spent more money than I care to say but it’s all about the memories. We stay at the Grand, we eat in the parks and enjoy every minute of it. We go when there are discounts on rooms to stay at the best resort. The best thing about Disney is there’s a price point for any family. At WDW you don’t need to rent a car, the transportation to and from the airport is included. If you need a car for a few days there’s a rental site on property.
