Two families went on a Disney World vacation.
They stayed at the same resort, ate at the same restaurants, saw the same shows, tried the same rides, bought the same souvenirs, and even took the same flight home.
They probably spent the same amount for their vacation, right? Wrong! One family shelled out $5,500 while the other spent only $2,700.
Why did the two families who went on the same vacation have different expenses? The answer is Disney World specials.
The second family made use of specials that allowed them to save big and save often.
So could you on your own vacation! Here are some specials to keep an eye out for.
1.
Disney gives discounts to Retired, Active duty, National Guard, and Reserve personnel.
The amount of the discount differs depending on what time of the year you buy your ticket.
Get more information about the specials that apply to military personnel from your base MWR.
2.
Some hotels have teamed up with Disney so that if you stay with them, you can redeem the points you rack up for a Disneyland pass or two.
3.
In certain places in Disney World, kids don't have to pay anything for their meal provided they're eating with their parents.
In other words, you only need to pay for your own meal; whatever the kids eat is on the house! 4.
From January up to the beginning of spring, adults can get in for the price of a child's ticket.
This special has been ongoing for several years now.
Check with their official website, though, in case changes have been made.
5.
Stay in area hotels that offer discounted Disneyland tickets to anyone who books a room.
These are only a few of the Disneyland promos that will cut the cost of your family vacation.
Don't be afraid to look for more.
If you do, you may never have to pay full price at Disney World!
