By planning ahead, seeking out the best online travel deals and following some simple money-saving tips, you can enjoy significant savings at Disney World - without sacrificing any of your family's comfort or enjoyment. Choosing Accommodations If you don't mind staying off Disney World property, you will discover numerous budget motels and hotels (many of which provide complimentary transportation to Disney World theme parks) along Highway 192 in Kissimmee just East of the main entrance to Walt Disney World Resort or along world-famous International Drive. Before you book a motel or hotel, check if they offer guests a complimentary continental or full breakfast each morning. You may also consider one of Disneys budget all-star resorts - Disneys All-Star Movies Resort, Disneys All-Star Music Resort and Disneys All-Star Sports Resort (all of which offer complimentary transportation to Disney theme parks and feature onsite food courts). For larger families, reunions or any other get-together at Disney World, it may make better financial sense to look into renting a vacation home, many of which offer enclosed garages, private backyard pools and washer/dryers. Getting Around If you are staying at a Disney World resort, take advantage of complimentary transportation to all Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks and Downtown Disney. Also, check out Disneys Magical Express, which provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the Orlando International Airport (reservations are required for Disneys Magical Express). Eating Out Instead of spending a fortune at one of the Disney Character Breakfasts, take your children to Town Square at Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneys Magic Kingdom for autograph and photo opportunities with their favorite Disney characters. If you choose to eat at the Disney World theme parks, try to make lunch your big meal of the day when prices are considerably lower than for dinner (especially at Epcots World Showcase). For dinner, consider taking the family to one of the many all-you-can-eat buffets that lie outside Disney World property such as Bill Wongs Famous Buffet, Sweet Tomatoes, Boston Lobster Feast, Golden Corral, Ponderosa, Sizzler, Captain Nemos Seafood Feast or Angels Lobster, Crab & Prime Rib Buffet. In addition, look for free publications such as I Love Orlando magazine, which contains a multitude of discount coupons for area restaurants. Also, many off-site hotels and motels with onsite restaurants offer 'Kids Eat Free' deals (one child eats free per paying adult). Shopping for Souvenirs Establish a budget for Disney World souvenirs and stick to your budget (no matter how many cool gifts you see as you stroll through Epcots World Showcase!). Some of the area factory outlet stores such as Orlando Premium Outlets sell Disney merchandise at significantly lower prices than you will find at stores within the Disney World theme parks. Planning Ahead Most importantly, seek out discount Disney World tickets, budget accommodations convenient to Disney attractions and individually tailored Disney vacation packages before you arrive in Orlando. Several leading online vacation providers such as HotelsCorp.com serve as comprehensive one-stop resources for discount theme park tickets, hotels and vacation packages. 'Consumers planning their vacation to Orlando can select from a variety of online providers,' said Kyle Collins, Director of Interactive Marketing at HotelsCorp.com. 'Our goal at HotelsCorp.com is to provide them with the best prices in Orlando.' About the Author: Orlando, Florida Guide, the most comprehensive online guide to Disney World, offers discount Disney World tickets, discount Universal Orlando tickets and discount SeaWorld Orlando tickets, as well as discount Orlando hotels and individually tailored Orlando vacation packages.
