Hi there, Arlene!
It's great hEARing from a fellow Utahn here on the Disney Parks Moms Panel. How exciting to be planning an epic vacation experience at the Disneyland Resort!
There are some options to consider for saving money when taking large groups to The Happiest Place on Earth. For very large groups that would require 10 or more guest rooms, you will want to contact
Disney Group Getaways to find out what services and rates would best suit your needs. For youth programs, including performing arts groups, field trips, and more,
Disney Youth Programs has you covered.
Some organizations help plan large events and gatherings at the Disneyland Resort. Sometimes these groups welcome and encourage their community members, friends, and supporters to join with them in their group events. One of the most well-known examples is Dappers Days. While events like these are not organized or sponsored by Disney, the Disneyland Resort may provide some support, often in the form of discounted hotel rates for affiliated guests. You might be interested in searching out one of these organizations to find out if their scheduled events may be of interest to you too.
Even if you are going it on your own, there are a number of ways to save money. Start by checking the latest Disneyland Resort
Offers and Discounts. For example, there is currently a
limited-time ticket offer for children that can help save a great deal on the cost of tickets. Other places to check for special ticket and hotel offers are through your employer, collective bargaining organization,
military service benefits organization for active or retired members of the U.S. military, or local community organizations, including credit unions, schools,
community centers, and more.
Tony's Tip: There are other ways to
save and budget for a Disneyland Resort vacation. Personally, my preferred way is to collect
Disney Gift Cards. With a fixed number of gift cards, I know exactly what our vacation budget is. And I save on vacation expenses by purchasing Disney Gift Cards at a discount from local retailers or wholesale warehouse stores. Disney Gift Cards can be used on many different purchases, including
theme park tickets,
Disneyland Resort Hotel rooms,
Vacation Packages,
dining,
shopping, and more.
I hope to see ya real soon at the Disneyland Resort, Arlene!
