The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families' bucket lists (人生目标清单). But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.
1. Come Prepared
Plan ahead so that you don't have to purchase a necessity at Disneyland that you could have brought from home. For example, check the weather so that you don't need to buy a raincoat or an umbrella.
2. Buy Souvenirs in Advance
Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery stores to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less expensive places than at Disneyland.
3. Make an Autograph Book
An autograph book is seen as a musthave by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from 7.95 to 19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latestandgreatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary editions. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album, cute pads or notebooks.
4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups
Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.
