When planning a vacation to Walt Disney World a few questions often come to mind immediately:

• Where I am going to stay?
• Where I am going to buy tickets?
• How much extra money should I bring?

This article provides advice on each of these major questions to help your vacation to Walt Disney World more enjoyable and less expensive. That way you are able to enjoy the trip without worrying about losing everything in your wallet.

Where am I going to stay and where should I buy tickets?
Often it is less expensive to buy both your Disney theme part tickets and Hotel room from one location. OrlandoVacation.com is one site we found that sells Walt Disney World vacation packages. A site such as can be the best place to go since it can offer you significant saving when buying everything at once. However if you also plan to visit Universal Studios or if you only want to go into Disney World for a few days then it can be cheaper to book your tickets and hotels separately. One site that focuses solely on discounted hotel rooms is www.OrlandoVacationHotels.com. When purchasing tickets you will see many places in Orlando that promise the best prices. However it is usually cheapest simply to buy your tickets directly at the Walt Disney World gate.

How much extra money should I bring?
This tends to be one area where vacationers underestimate the expense. Food, gifts, other entertainment, and transportation can add up quickly. A general rule of thumb is to bring the same amount of money you spent or plan to spend on your hotel and tickets. Just as there are budget hotels to stay at there are cheaper restaurants to eat out at. Typically families spend as much while in Orlando as they do on their hotel rooms and theme park tickets.
