How to Have Fun at Disney World Under $200.00 a Day
There are plenty of ways to enjoy a vacation to Disney World for under $200.00 a day. To begin with, look for vacation packages that include accommodation, park passes and free shuttle service to the attractions. Many travel packages and discount ticket sellers can offer great savings for your one-stop shopping convenience.
When you are planning your vacation, investigate the options for traveling off-season to pay even less. Disney World, in sunny Florida, is an ideal vacation destination any time of year, and may provide just the break you need if you are traveling from a drearier climate. Airline travel and accommodation, in particular, will cost you much less if you stay during a non-peak period. Do an online comparison, or have your travel agent do some fact finding for you to make the most of your holiday dollar.
Even if your holiday package includes park passes, you may want to buy additional tickets, or find out if there is an option for upgrading. If you and your family want to try as many rides and attractions as possible, look into park passes that offer the most for your money, including “park hopper” option if you want to visit more than one major attraction in a day. Tickets cost less when purchased in advance, and your per-day price is less, the greater the number of days you purchase on a single pass. If you may want to spread your visits to Disney World out over a period of more than two weeks, make sure you look into adding the no expiry option to your tickets.
Particularly if you are traveling with a family, another way to save money on your vacation is to limit the number of meals you eat at the theme parks. Eating a simple meal such as sandwiches or cereal and fruit at your hotel before or after a day at the park will help keep costs down, as well as offer healthier meal choices than your typical fast food fare. Consider packing snacks such as granola bars, apples, and bottled water to take along as well, and make sure everyone has the energy they need to fully enjoy the day.
Set a budget for what you will spend per person each day on food and other expenses such as souvenirs, and stick to these limits. To keep things fair and organized, each person could be allotted their spending money for the day, or one person might be responsible for younger children, keeping track of spending. If there are attractions you want to see that are not covered by the cost of your passes, decide together which ones you will include, planning ahead of time to stay within budget so no one is disappointed later.
With some careful planning and organization, it is easy to enjoy a wide variety of entertainment at Disney World and stay within your spending limits for an unforgettable family vacation.
