Five Ways to Save Money at Walt Disney World
A Walt Disney World vacation is expensive, but there are ways you can reduce anguish on your wallet. Here are five ways you can save money on your next trip!
Fancy Ways to Save
If you are an Annual Passholder, Disney Vacation Club member, or own a Disney Visa, then you get discounts on merchandise and food! In fact, there are also special edition card designs for Annual Passholders and Disney Visa owners for the 50th anniversary.
Also, you can get functional EPCOT Festival Gift Card wristlets with new designs. All you do is frontload a specific amount of money to your card, and then you cognitively control your spending at EPCOT festivals.
Snacks and Sleep
Many times, Disney World snacks are a decent portion. So, you can split meals or snacks within your family or order the kids’ portion for a lesser hit to your pocket.
Of course, you can also pack your own snacks such as protein bars, oatmeal, extra water, etc. Not to mention that you can ask any dining location for free ice water at any time.
However, one of the most cherished snacks savings tips in the parks is the refillable popcorn buckets. If you purchase a popcorn bucket on the first day of your trip, then you can continuously refill it for just $2.25 per time. As an added bonus, have characters sign your popcorn bucket when traditional meet and greets return later this month.
Keep in mind, several Disney resorts have reasonable prices. Value resorts are a great option if you want to save while staying the magic.

Don’t forget, Fort Wilderness also has camping and RV locations for the cheapest on-property lodging. This option also offers several free things to do such as pools, nature trails, a view of the Electrical Water Pageant, and more.
Necessities
There are so many things that you may need during your vacation. If you simply remember to pack them, then you will save money.
For example, bring your own ponchos, flip-flops, medicine, swimsuits, chargers, and more. Why should you spend your hard-earned souvenir budget on necessities that you can pack?
Consider Skipping the Parks
There is so much to do throughout Walt Disney World Resort, you don’t have to visit a park each day…or at all. You can reduce the number of park days to save money on your vacation.

Instead, enjoy a resort day, visit other resorts by using the Monorail or Disney Sky Liner, or search for chocolate eggs during the Easter season at the Grand Floridian.
