Welcome Sylke!
So glad you stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panelists with your questions.
Spending a week at Walt Disney World can be costly but there are some ways to keep it within a budget.
I suggest you check out pricing with a
Magic Your Way Package. You can check what a week's stay will cost by choosing a resort, number of park tickets, and if you would like the dining package of your choice. It is a good way to compare pricing for the different parts of the package to decide what works best for you.
Be sure and also check out the latest and most updated list of
Special Offers and Discounts going on at Walt Disney World. You might be traveling at a time when they have some great offers on lodging and dining.
When looking at the lodging options look carefully at the Disney Value resorts. They will offer the best value but the moderates will offer a slightly larger room for five persons. To save money with tickets just get tickets without park hopping option and do not try to head to parks the day you check in or the day you check out. Use those days to enjoy your resort amenities such as the pools.
There are several
Dining Plans to check out. Many guests love to have their entire vacation paid before they arrive knowing their lodging, tickets, and dining is all covered. You can choose from a full dining plan where it is hard to even eat all the food that can come your way or a simple one meal a day plan with snacks. To save money try to have breakfast in your room. Each Disney resort room will come with a small refrigerator and each resort will have a small store with some basic items for sale.
Hope this helps!
