Any tips for planning an affordable Disney vacation for a group of college students?

In October of 2009, I, along with a group of college friends (who are all 21+) are looking to plan a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida for a long weekend in order to attend the International Food and Wine Festival. As we are all on a budget and have time this summer to save up, we are still looking for any way we can cut down on costs. Right now, we have about 5 people signed up to go, but there could be as many as 8. We would like to stay on Disney property in order to take advantage of the Disney Extra Magic Park Hours. I have been to Disney on a number of occasions and know where to stay for what prices, but I’m looking for any helpful advice on cheap packages, traveling (preferably by plane), and other things within the park. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is our last big bang before this group of theater kids leaves for the real world – we want this Disney magic to happen!

One of the most expensive aspects of Disney is the food! I would either look into getting a dining plan, which will allow you to eat onsite at different parks and hotels for meals at a discount, or bring ( or buy from a local convenience store or grocery store) some basic breakfast or lunch items so that you can eat some small meals or snacks in your rooms. That way you could splurge a little more on dinner or eat at some of the fun theme restaurants on-site.
You should absolutely get park-hopper tickets (unless you’re just planning on only going to Epcot), as tiickets are probably the most expensive part of Disney. Staying on Disney property is definitely a lot of fun and enhances the experience, but just keep in mind that the Extra Magic Park hours are not for every park every night. They rotate parks each night, so that will depend on which parks you are planning to visit and when.
