What is the cheapest way to go to Disney World?

I want to take my kids to Disney World this year, but would like to find some coupons or specials of some kind. Any advice or tips one how to save money would be appreciated.What is the cheapest way to go to Disney World?
An excellent site for saving money at Disney World is MouseSavers. Subscribe to their monthly newsletter, as it contains a link for a great price on tickets: http://www.mousesavers.com



The best way to save money is to go in the off-site season, when crowds are also low. Also, it is almost always less expensive to book everything separately (resort, tickets, etc.) than to book a package.



I would definitely recommend staying on-site, even on a budget. A great way to save is to book using an AAA membership; you can save up to 20% on room rates. Seek the services of a reputable Disney-centric travel agency to help you plan; the cost to you is nothing. Here are a few to consider:

Money-saving perks of staying on-site include eligibility for the Disney Dining Plan (highly recommended), and free transportation to/from the airport via Disney's Magical Express service.



More information on the Disney Dining Plan is available here:

looking the promotion DVD in your house.
Okay..... I have some good tips for you. Definitely stay on the Disney property because it will definitely cost less than having to travel to the resorts everyday.



If you are looking for low prices, then definitely consider staying at the Pop Century Resorts, or one of the All Star Resorts (Music, Movies or Sports). They all run less than $100 per night per room and they are all nice, well run and clean resorts.



I am not sure if there are any specific specials that I know about, but I know that Disney World has specials AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. They may reduce the price just for a week to draw in more people to the resort. Go on the website below and you can basically plan your trip to Disney World and figure out how much everything is going to cost and to see what ammenities you will get at each different resort. All of the resorts fit different people's needs, so you will definitely find the resort that is fit for you and your kids.



Also, knowing from experience, you should definitely bring your kids to a Disney related breakfast at some of the resorts. What is better to a kid than eating with their favorite TV stars in person?? That is just my reccommendation. HAVE LOTS OF FUN IN DISNEY WORLD =)!!What is the cheapest way to go to Disney World?
I signed up for a time share promo, but for that I'm getting a condo w/king bedroom and queen sofa sleeper with kitchen for 4night/5days for $179.00. We'll go food/bev shopping and eat mainly out of our condo. Only committment is a 90 minute "presentation" to sit thru while they try to temp me into buying a time share. Won't buy, but will take advantage of a great rate. Also get 2 tickets to either Seaworld or Universal at no charge. Got in on super chear air fair off peak-January-for under $400 for two.
It depends on where you live. If you live close to Disney World, I would check the site for discount information. If you live farther, I would go to sites like TripAdvisor and Travelocity to find the cheapest rates.
Check out various sites about Disney World such as WDWINFO or ALLEARS for deals and specials. Our friends just took their three kids in Sept when the crowds were down and had free dining which saved them a lot of money.



The cheapest way to go is to stay off property and just buy one day tickets for each park and eat as little as possible while inside the parks.
Ohhh my you need to be more specific. Do you want to stay onsite or off? Off can be soooo much cheaper. How long do you want to stay? How many days do you want to actually visit the parks? How old are the kids.....will they need naps? Kids over 10 pay adult prices. For budget questions I'd suggest googling DIS Budget board and ask this there with the specifics I asked. Will you be driving or flying...if flying will you have a rental car?

The cheapest way is to stay offsite and bring snacks and water bottles into the parks with you. Do counterservice meals and if you do a table service meal make it a lunch because lunches are cheaper. For good ticket prices that are reputable sign up for a newsletter at mousesavers.com Skip the timeshare stuff it's just 4 hours of annoying sales. Join a rewards point site like sunshine rewards or mypoints and earn points toward free gift certificates that you can use at various places to save you $ on your trip.
I really depends on how you want to go about having your trip. Do you want to stay on Disney property or not? It is probably cheaper to stay off-site but you could stay at the value resorts which are nice. You can always find deal for off-site locations just find a coupon or a code for a Holiday-Inn or Marriott.



It also depends on when you want to go; if you go in the middle of February or the beginning of March everything is a little bit cheaper than going in the middle of July.



Another consideration is how are you going to get around if you stay off-site. Are you going to rent a car? You can also get codes and discounts for cars too. If your a BJ's memeber or a Cosco member they can get you discounts for car rentals.



What kind of Disney ticket do you want? Do want to be able to go from park to park? Then you would want a park-hopper which is a little bit more expensive. Or do you just want to stay in one park all day? That would be a base ticket. Or do want it to include meals? Then that would be more expensive on the plan that you want. Do you also want recreational activies on your ticket? Again, more expensive.



I would check out Birnbaum's Offical guide to Disney. They give you a lot of great tips about Disney and how to be frugle on your Disney trip. It can also give you break down of what you will need to spend on your trip. I love this guide and they come out with a new one every year.
Go to www.intercot.com or themouseforless.com. Boths sites have discount info.
