    What is most cost effective way to plan a trip for three playing golf and going to parks

    Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to planDisney!

    I love this combination of parks and golf. It's such a fun way to experience Walt Disney World, and with a little strategy, you can make it both magical and cost-effective.

    The best way to bundle everything together is by booking a Walt Disney World Vacation Package. This allows you to combine your Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay with your Theme Park tickets in one reservation, which is usually the most streamlined and budget-friendly approach. If you're looking to keep costs down, I would definitely suggest choosing a Value Resort, like one of the All-Star Resorts. They're comfortable, immersive, and give you access to all the Disney transportation and perks without stretching your budget.

    Now, when it comes to tickets, this is where things get really interesting for your plans. I would strongly recommend selecting the Water Parks and Sports Option. This ticket type includes admission to all four Theme Parks, but it also adds a set number of visits to experiences beyond the parks, including Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, FootGolf at Oak Trail, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and even miniature golf at Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland.

    Here's why it works so well. If you purchase, for example, a 5-day ticket with this option, you'll get five park days plus five additional visits to those extra experiences. That means you can dedicate time to golf without sacrificing your park days, which is such a win.

    It's honestly one of the most underrated ways to build a Disney trip, especially for a group like yours that wants a mix of relaxation, activity, and classic park time. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. We're always available and more than happy to help here at planDisney!

    Warm hugs,
