    Hi! I am wishing for a trip for my sister(18) & I(21). I am obviously on a budget! From what I can tell, the best time to go would be during the free dining plan offer. Do you know of any cheaper times (w/DDP)? & Is the free DDP offered every year?

    The free Disney Dining Plan package has been offered typically for a few weeks in September since this is a slow time of year with many children headed back to school.

    There are other fabulous ways to save:

    Go off-season such as mid-late January. Book the components of your trip separately. This allows you to find the best discount available for tickets, room, and travel. Plan one table service meal per day but then eat counter service. Split entrees, order kid meals, and have a sit down breakfast as a brunch. There are so many ways to have a great trip while cutting costs.

    I would recommend researching the mousesavers.com website. I think you'll find all sorts of tips for making the most of a magical trip with your sister while keeping your budget in check.
