The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide
A former Disney Cast Member created The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide to help families save money at Walt Disney World. She also wanted to provide you with techniques for maximizing your time and making the most from your Orlando vacation. Just about everyone has seen these e-books all around the web claiming to have secrets that no one else knows about and promising you the world. I have wasted my money on many of these myself before. However, I was very interested in seeing whether you really could spend less at Disney World as she claims. So, I purchased the e-book and and began my research. As I opened the e-book I will say that my initial response was surprise due to the length of the book, 140 pages (40 pages which are readers’ comments giving tips and websites, forms, more tips, etc.). As I read the book, my satisfaction grew as I discovered many tips and ideas of which I was unaware. POSITIVES- The e-book is incredibly comprehensive providing you information covering saving cash on lodging, dining, tickets, and souvenirs.
- She even provides you with information on nearby hospitals and provides forms to help you keep track of reservations, confirmations as well as other important information for your trip.
- The guide starts off by discussing ways to save money on lodging. For example staying in one of the Disney resorts, nearby hotels or vacation properties.
- Lodging may very well be one of the biggest expenses of the trip. The author does a great job of explaining your different options for lodging and how to find the best deal.
- She even goes into extreme detail providing tables with the different rates according to the different seasons (peak season, off peak season, holiday season, etc.)
- One of the strategies that she explains in this section could possibly help you save hundreds if you chose one of the more expensive resorts at Disney. It does involve a little work and some risk but appears to be worth your time and effort.
- I could also see how money might be saved using another one of several tips that she provided in the guide. She explains how to locate vacation rental property and the pros and cons of staying in a vacation property versus staying in a hotel.
- The author then goes into the various ways of saving money on your tickets. Hands down one of the best ways to save money on 1-2 day tickets with Disney is by attending timeshare presentations.
- But many people do not want to spend their precious vacation time fighting off high pressure salespeople for 2-3 hours.
- The author does a good job of explaining the other ways to save money on tickets. But don’t expect to find free or even $10 Disney tickets anywhere without attending a timeshare presentation.
- You can save the most using the author’s techniques on the multiple day tickets with the added options such as Park Hopper (ability to go to the different Disney parks using one ticket) and No Expiration option.
- Although the author does a good job providing a lot of useful information there are some things that I think would make the guide better.
- The book is jam packed with valuable information, so it is a little long..
- Not everyone likes e-books, so this format may not be for everyone.
