One way we saved a ton of time and money was bringing our food into the parks. We brought a soft cooler in each day with sandwiches, snacks and drinks. We would fill our water bottles up during the day. If you ask at the food places they will give you free ice and water to use for refilling. We would find a nice spot, sometimes inside a/c places and eat our lunch. It was great, cheap and fast. The days we ate lunch we spent at least a half hour just waiting in line for food and it was all greasy junk.

Another tip is we bring souvenirs with us. I did buy some there but buying ahead of time and surprising the kids with them was great. Disney store at home has much better prices on some of the disney stuff. ALso if you go to Walmart in orlando areas you will find a ton of stuff. My kids are young so it didnt matter they didnt pick it out, they were just thrilled with the excitement of it.

Search online for your best disney and universal ticket prices. The savings can really add up.

I am always able to take vacations and do so much more than others by just doing some easy planning. It’s worth it in the end. Not many kids have traveled as much as my kids. It’s because we do it on a budget but it doesn’t feel like it. Cruises are another travel bargain. Although we havent been able to find a disney cruise yet that is enough of a bargain to bite. With 3 kids they get you on cruises. Families of 4 do much better on a cruiseship. Hope my tips can help someone.

Remember save time and money by not eating out as much.

A breakfast and dinner for family of four would $60 a day.

When relatives visit, I’ll get them to take along a couple of sandwiches,some fruit,snacks and frozen bottle water in their backpacks.
