You just got a couple of weeks off after a long period of work. And you come home to ask your family where they would like to go on vacation, in unison they answer Walt Disney World in Florida. Even though it’s only a couple of hundred miles from where he lives, the thought of the cost is getting him bogged down and he wonders if he can afford it.

Don’t worry, there are plenty of options available depending on your budget, even if you are on a budget. And you will be provided with the best quality service in the theme park, so you don’t have to worry about that aspect of cutting costs while planning the business.

Here’s how you can enjoy your affordable, stress-free Walt Disney World Resort vacation and take advantage of an affordable Disney Vacation Club membership.

1. Travel and food – Instead of depending on an agency or outside party, it is better to sit down and plan the entire trip on your own. Book airline tickets and accommodation, car rental, etc. If you know now that a trip could take place in January or February, plan ahead and get cheap deals on hotels and food places. When you book early, you’ll save money you’d otherwise spend by booking last minute. You’ll also be stress-free and able to focus on other aspects of the trip.

Check with your friends or family what kind of food they like and bring enough for a few days or at least cornflakes and other breakfast items. If you fly to Disney World on economy flights, the transported food will save you more money.

2. Lodging Options: Instead of staying at one of your budget Disney Vacation Club hotels, you can stay at any of the Orlando villas or cabins within walking distance of the park. Also for this, you can contact the owners directly and rent it with them. For your group to stay comfortably, you can get a place for around $90-$150 a night.

However, please remember that prices are based on the number of rooms and facilities you request. This may be a better option than having everyone cooperate in a hotel room, fighting for space. If you know of another family planning their vacation at the same time, reserve a spot so that you split the cost, leaving you with more to spend at the park. It’s best to read up on the Disney World newsgroups and subscribe to their newsletters for the latest promotions available.

This way you can plan ahead and save big on theme park passes and food. Go through the various stores and malls in your city to pick up those discount park passes or buy one and get a type of coupons to make your trip amazing.
