Disney World Without Breaking The Bank.

Disney World is the dream vacation for families all across the world, but the most magical place on earth comes with a price tag, the price of this vacation is the largest factor in deciding whether it is a practical trip for a family to take. The Disney website will give you a general estimate of how much your family vacation is going to cost, but there are a few corners that can be cut to help decrease the cost of your family vacation without taking away from the Disney experience.

Book your hotel from a site that compares prices. My favorite is hotel choice. It is simple to use and has a relatively fast booking process. Not every hotel is available for a discount, so if your family wants to stay at a specific resort may be better off booking directly from the Disney site. If you create a choice hotels account they can notify you when new hotels are on their site. If this is your first time booking a trip to Disney I would recommend that you look into a travel agency that specializes in Disney world. Some travel agencies have special offers that are only for their Clients. If you  only feel safe booking directly in that case, I would check into the Special offers page directly on the Disney site. These sales are not as good as you would get on other sites but there better than no discount at all. (I have always used choice hotels and have never had a problem.)
The Date you go to Disney can greatly affect the total cost. Hotel and dinning are always more expensive during the summer months than they are during the winter. For more about Disney peak and off peak season I would suggest you check out allears.net

Even though Disney hotels are more expensive than staying off site they come with free perks that really add up if you were to pay for them separately. All of the Disney resorts come with the use of Disney busses, extra park hours, and themed pools. When staying at the hotel you do not have to pay for parking which will have you $30 a day in its self.

Once you have booked your vacation the costs still add up. Disney souvenirs can become the highest cost of your vacation. There are plenty of online retailers that sell discounted Disney merchandise at a fraction of the cost. My family always stops at the Wal-Mart in Orlando to pick up Disney apparel. As you can imagine the Disney selection at the Wal-Mart there is quite extensive as you can imagine.
