When my frugal family goes to Disney World we want to get the most bang for our Disney Bucks. We typically will stay for 7 days, but lets face it tickets are expensive and who wants to pay for 7 days of tickets when one of those days will be partial due to travel. With these 2 neat tips you can squeeze out an extra day or two of Disney magic!

  • TIP 1: If you are staying on property, hop on a Disney Bus to Downtown Disney Marketplace. The atmosphere, shops, and restaurants just ooze WDW magic. Check out the worlds largest Disney store “World of Disney” it’s a kids dream come true and if like us you gave your kids a budget, remind them of this and it takes a little stress out of the shopping part. Stop by the Lego store to be amazed by the giant Lego constructions. Browse through the gift shops at the T-rex and Rainforest Cafes (you can see all the animatronic fun here without spending $$). The lakeside setting, fountains that shoot water out of the ground and other great entertainment and eye candy make for a fun day.

  • TIP 2: A Monorail Adventure! With this tip you can stay at a value resort and live it up at the Deluxe Resorts. The Deluxe Disney Resorts on the monorail are beautiful and packed with great shops and restaurants. We love to make a lunch reservation at Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort. That takes care of resort entry and parking,  or for an even more frugal option you can just hop a resort bus to the TTC or Magic Kingdom and hop on a Resort Loop Monorail from there. Take your time and make the free monorail ride an experience in itself. Stop at the different resorts, walk the grounds, shop in the shops. Then for a topper take the Epcot Monorail from the TTC; this one travels a good distance and ends up taking a loop into Epcot and around Spaceship Earth! Shopping, sightseeing and the monorail! Trust me the kids (and Disney loving adults) will enjoy this day!

These are just two of the fun ways to stretch your Disney Dollars; if you have more great tips feel free to share them in the comments!
