    We're visiting for our first time July 28th for 13 nights. I have 3 boys ages 10, 13, & 15. Lodging is set but I need help planning our fun. I want to make our trip memorable but we are on a "teacher pay" budget. Where are the deals my boys

    Hi Becky!

    First, congratulations on your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World! You and your boys are going to have an amazing trip!

    There are many fun things to do at Walt Disney World when on a budget.

    When you arrive, make sure to tell a Cast Member that it's your first visit. They will give your boys complimentary "My First Visit" buttons. 

    Dining at Walt Disney World is extremely special, especially for character dining experiences. If you aren't on a dining plan, then plan a meal around lunch instead of dinner time, as the prices are less during that time.

    If you're staying at a Walt Disney World resort, you wll receive coupons in your packet with your tickts and resort confirmation. Take advantage of this and use the coupons for the mini golf.

    Honestly, the best things at Disney are free or don't cost much at all. Capturing that moment when your child meets his favorite character in person for the first time. Eating a Mickey Mouse Ice Cream while sitting by the fountain at Hollywood Studios. Swimming in the glow of the moonlight at the resort. Feeling your child squeeze your hand on Rock n Roller Coaster even though he think's he's too old to still hold mommy's hand, but is a little scared.

    All of these moments don't cost a lot, but they will last in your heart forever.

    Magically,
    Stacy
