SAVE A FEW DOLLARS ON YOUR NEXT TRIP

Just a list of a few suggestions when booking for on property hotels:

Go during a slow season - special rates and packages are available

Shop around before you book, there are deals offered through AAA and other agents

Book your entire stay and packages in advance - adding days to your trip once you are staying at a property resort is full price once you are there - no discounts for rooms, etc.

Bring drinks and snacks to your room if you have a frig. It is much cheaper than using vending machines or snack shops.

Have deserts at concessions rather than at high end restaurants.

Set a limit for yourself (and your kids) on purchases. Having a budget limit in advance will reduce spending on "toys, trinkets, and other articles" you may never use again after you leave the property. Avoid impulse purchases.

Want to eat at high end restaurants for dinner, then grab a quick breakfast and less expensive lunch. Eating three large meals isn't really necessary.

Be careful to not book "expensive packages" that offer services and options you will not use. The high end packages are a good deal only when you can take part in all the items offered. Not golfing, going to spas, riding horses, going hang gliding, then you should book a package that doesn't include these offerings.

Again these are just a sample of money saving tips - more are on the way.

ALLEARS.NET

If you need general information (and there is a great deal of it) from a professionally produced website (not owned and/or operated by Disney) then ALLEARS.COM is the place to visit.

Unlike this blog which offers our personal information and links to other visitors videos, etc., ALLEARS also has links to companies selling anything from collectibles to vacation packages.

We think it might be somewhere for you to checkout - but we are not promoting this site, there advertisers, or any of their blogs. Just wanted to link you to another site that could be helpful.
