In this episode, Kris & Megan chat about saving money at Disneyland when it comes to tickets and lodging.   Saving Money at Disneyland: Tickets & Lodging Tickets: • Some work places offer ticket discounts, so ask friends if anyone may be able to get discounted tickets for you. • AAA offers a few dollars discount on multi-day tickets. You must go in a branch office to purchase. • If you are a southern California resident, the last few years Disney has offered discounted 2- and 3-day tickets during the first half of the year. These are available as single park or park hopper tickets. What makes these so much better than the usual tickets is that the days on the ticket can be spread out more. With a standard multi-day ticket, the ticket expires after 13 days, whether you've used all the days or not. These special resident tickets don't expire until June, allowing you to spread out your visit.   Lodging: • There are plenty of websites out there devoted to helping you find the best deal on a hotel. • Star

In this episode, Megan and I chat about saving money at Disneyland when it comes to food and souvenirs.    Saving Money at Disneyland: Food & Souvenirs Food: • Eat breakfast in your hotel room or at home.  • Pack in lunch. You can sit in the outdoor eating areas with food you bring in. We like to buy drinks when it's hot out, and you can get free ice water at any place with fountain drinks. • Order an adult meal and split it between two kids. They'll probably get more food this way too, as kid's meals are pretty small. • Don't order things you don't want. You can get a burger without the fries or a pizza without the salad for less than the meal. • Order extras a la carte.    Souvenirs: • Look for souvenirs in other places, like Disney outlet stores. • The Disney store website offers park merchandise and often has sales. • If the item isn't Disney park specific, look online for the same item at a better price.    Get in Touch!
