How big are the Disney world parks?

How to save money in Disney world and the other Disney parks?

  • We will be going in September. We have our hotel booked and plane tickets purchased. Are there any ways to save on rooms, if we already booked them and have used AAA to get a good discount? (We will be a group of 5, 2 adults 3 kids - 22 mos, 8 yrs, 13 yrs) We plan on buying food outside the parks, for breakfast and snacks. We will need to buy a few meals in the parks or resort. Any tips on how to save money or where to eat? At least 2 sit down dinners, the rest can becounter service or whatever. How about park tickets? I have looked practically everywhere, and can't get a break on tickets for more than $2 a piece. Any money saving tips or tricks would be great!

    My family and I love to eat at Cosmic Rays - which is a counter service restaurant in Tommorwland of Magic Kingdom. It is cheap, the portions are huge (which means the kids could split - and actually, for the adults, you could split a grilled chicken Caesar salad...they are fantastic there!). In addition to the food savings, the kids will be entertained by the animatronic Alien Lounge Lizard who sings, plays piano, and is actually pretty funny. Also, in MGM, the Sci-Fi Dine-in Theatre is fun and not too bad on the wallet. It is entertainment for the kids (movies and "car-tables", good service (from waitresses on rollerskates) and the food is good enough for my family to go EVERY time we go back. Other than that, Disney is an awfully pricey place to eat and stay. I will tell you though that for many of the restaurants, the price is worth the experience. Allow me to share with you my favorite picks from Disney cuisine: Steaks: La Cellier (Canada, EPCOT) or Concourse Steakhouse (Contemporary Resort). Seafood: Cape May Cafe (seafood lover's dream buffet) American: Sci-Fi Dine In (MGM) or Turkey Legs in Frontierland (Magic Kingdom) Asian: Japanese Steakhouse (Japan - EPCOT) or Polynesian Luau (Polynesian Resort) Character Meal: Dinner at Chef Mickey's (Contemporary) Hope this helps!

you could ship a package to yourself with snacks and food in it so you can have it at your room. I know we did this 2yrs ago and it was great!!

We're going in a little over a week and so far the best discounts for Disney tickets that I found were through AAA and also for Universal. Below is a good website i found for different discount and tips/ideas for visiting. Hope this helps!

AAA is one of the best available discounts for tickets, unless you want to sit through half-day timeshare sales pitch (which I do not recommend). The AAA discount for your rooms is also probably the best discount, unless you are Florida residents. It sounds like you have your bases covered for discounts, but you may want to check out http://www.guide2disney for more tips and tricks, as well as how to see as much of the Walt Disney World Resort in the shortest amount of time.

For tickets, the only good discount dealer I know of is http://www.mapleleaftickets.com but they can't give much of a discount. AAA is probably the best discount you can get. For dining, you should check out http://allearsnet.com/din/dining.htm to plan ahead. They have menus and prices. For sit-down restaurants, you will need to call Disney and make reservations WAY ahead of time. I believe they start taking them 180 days in advance, and with the popularity of the dining plan, you have to call right around then to get seats! Sounds like you are doing pretty good to save so far.

The best place to look for this type of discounts is SearchAllDeals. Just start with a search term like "Disney world".
