what are the easiest things to do to cut back on money spent on vacation?
my family is planning a vacation to disney, we dont have much cash right now and we need to cut back on the amount of money we end up spending there. can someone suggest some ways to cut back? we dont shop for many souvenirs as it is, maybe a sweatshirt or a tee shirt, and my mom buys a coffee mug. so we need other ways to cut back. we are planning on driving. (were from NY)
Here are some ways I plan on cutting back money spent on our future Disney trip:
- Bring a refillable bottle of water.
- When thirsty, go to any counter service restaurant and ask for a glass of ice water which you will get for free. Take some crystal light envelopes or koolaid and add to it for free beverage.
- Bring snacks into the park. They are allowed if they have no glass and no alcohol. Even a soft cooler (no hard ones) is okay.
- When at Disney, take advantage of buses from your hotel to the parks to save on gas.
- Eat at counter service places and not sit down places since those cost much more. See all menu prices for counter service places here:

- Fill your car up with gas just before you cross into Florida. The gas prices hike up there.
- Eat breakfast in your hotel room. You can always bring your own toaster or coffee maker to use. Just unplug it before you leave to the parks.
- If you are doing any programs for points cash them in now to get your rewards. We cashed in our mypoints for gas gift cards to pay for our road trip there.
- Visit the budget board at disboards.com to see how to get free supplies such as toothpaste to take with you. http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22
