Ranked the number 1 vacation spot in the world, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida yields entertainment to over 50,000,000 people per year. Having finally made my first venture to Walt Disney World at the age of 25, I feel obligated to inform the entire universe of how this vacation can be achieved on a budget, along with sharing some tips to heighten the experience.
Each year, the Walt Disney World Guide by Birnbaum is updated, among several other publications; which give advice on trip planning and step by steps for achieving the perfect Disney vacation. There are also many web sites devoted to Disney planning. Allearsnet.com is a web site run by a lady who is a Disney enthusiast. She has been to Walt Disney World numerous times, and cares enough to divulge many hints, tips and pointers geared at people who would like to maximize their vacation possibilities. Among all of the tips touched upon by -the experts-, the one that is held as most important is planning.
Plan ahead as much as you possibly can. By planning ahead, you can gain several advantages, including price breaks, a greater assurance of availability, and flexibility with financing the trip and saving money for spending. I booked a 7-day, 6-night trip for just under $1000, including airfare, car rental, hotel, and park entrance. That was the hardest part financially, but it didn't all have to be paid at once, which helped. I then had a time period of 14 months to save up for spending money. Here's a fun fact! Disney stores all around the world sell their own personalized currency, which can be used to purchase absolutely anything while you're on Disney property. "Disney Dollars- are available in denominations from $1 to $10. If you were to plan a Disney trip for 12 months down the road, and then buy $10 a week in Disney Dollars, you would accumulate a minimum of $520 to use as spending money by the time you actually made the trip.
