I live by Orlando. There are several Disney outlet stores at the local malls. The stores have everything that you have in the parks, including the ears, for a fraction of the cost.
Another good tip is to visit the Disney outlet store in Florida by Disney Springs! We got so many cool souvenirs for super cheap! We got a large stuffed Mickey for $5!
Great video. FYI. World of Disney doesn’t have all the same items as all the gift shops in the parks.
Also some limited items. Once they sell out in that park store. That’s it. None left for the end of the day.
My daughter lost a bag cuz she wanted to wait yo make sure. On our way back past the store they had already completely sold out and weren’t sold anywhere else in Disney.
Sucks. But if you want it. Make sure you get it!
Long time annual pass holder here and I approve of this message!! 😅
We’re always skeptical of Disney tip videos because not all are super helpful, but this was so great!! Will share this video with friends who come our way as they often ask us for advice!
I too am a planner down to the last detail. It makes for a much more pleasant trip no matter where you go.
We also found that a lot of "savings" happened by preparing our kids ahead of time. We talked about how much this trip was costing us, how we might need to split larger meals, that we were bringing fun Disney items with us vs. buying them in the park, that we weren't buying treats constantly (we ate so much popcorn!), etc. Our kids are middle and upper elementary and they knew about the trip for a year and a half before we went (they knew we were saving to go), so they knew how long we'd worked to save and really got on board with ways to save money in the park. We did allow them some souvenir money and we ate dinner in the parks or at our resort each night. We ate breakfast in our hotel room and packed a lunch each day. It was a VERY expensive trip, but I'm glad we did it once. I don't know if we'll ever go back due to the cost, but I'm glad they could experience Disney.
Great tips for Disney World. The vacation rental is by far the most genius thing to do, and you saved a ton of money on meals in the long run. Another good time to go to the Disney parks is right after Thanksgiving (I did that several years ago at Disneyland, and it wasn't as crowded as it would normally be). Keep it up Jordan!!!
One thing we did was to only have carry-on bags for the plane. No room in the suitcase = be careful what you buy. It really works!
Love the tip on spacing the park trips and including sleep in days!
We got back last night from a trip that included several days at Disney. Some great tips here! We do the picture thing all year round, and it works well. We’ve not been able to find things later, though and have had super sad kids because of it (temporarily). Niche items like Avatar toys are not at World of Disney. If it’s something you see in more than one shop, you’ll likely be able to find it at World of Disney. If it’s unique to a shop, it won’t be at WOD. And that’s especially true in Epcot. Most of the country pavilion merchandise is only in that country. Same goes for festival merch.
Great tips, especially the popcorn treat. Disneyland trip is definitely expensive and requires a lot of planning . There are other options in LA. For older teenagers who love exciting rides, they can go to six flags. For younger teens or kids, knott’s berry farm can be an option. I live in LA, my advice is don’t turn off the toll road on google map because we have the worst traffic problem in the whole nation. People pay so much to come here for Disneyland with limited time. It won’t be fun if the whole family is stuck in traffic for an hour just because you try to avoid a couple of dollars of toll. You can leave the toll option on and weigh in the balance of time and money.
Glad you clarified that you can't do Disney on the cheap. And I fully agree with you about being intentional. We took our family of 5 for 2 weeks and the cost was barely more than a family of 4 would spend for a weekend at an on-site hotel. It was soooo worth it for us and a great memory.
Maleficent Ears?!!! I knew you were my soul sister! The besttttttt.
We have family (my in-laws) in Alabama, Texas, and Kentucky and we love to be together. We’ve rented a house a few times and love it!
Thank you for your help. We live in Florida about 7 years. We haven’t been to Disney World because it’s so expensive but I think we can get to go with all you great savings advice.
Totally you can! Look out for the resident 3 day deals if they have it, its cheaper than two days. ❤
We saved the souvenir for the end of our trip too. Can you please make a tutorial video on your makeup and skincare. I’m 37 and need it so bad. Your eyelashes are so beautiful and your makeup is just so gorgeous. Rest days is a really helpful idea too thanks for this video! ❤
Love, love your souvenir ideas!
Adults can order kid meals at the quick service locations. They average half price compared to an adult meal. Also, do not buy the expensive bottled water in the parks. You can walk up to most quick service locations and get a free cup of water😊👍
Perfect timing for this video! Thank you!
Amazing 🎉super thanks for all these helpful tips! Planning our Disney trip next year ❤ always so motivating, creative and inspiring Jordan!!!! ❤
You know your stuff! Hubby and I do research for Disney trips all year round, and you hit the nails right on the head here!
So great! We are going for the first time in March. Love how you just get down to the hood juicy tips without lots of chit chat! Time is precious
PERFECT TIMING! we're going at the end of the month and with the park prices SO H$GH I was going to spend some time re-figuring the budget and how we were going to manage our bucks 💜
Hope this helps!
After Disney you need a vacation... We came back and felt like we needed to leave on a vacation to just calm down from that vacation. 🤣🤣
Ain't it the truth!😂😂😂
One of the best £30 I ever spent was on 2 guide books for Disney. It convinced me that I never wanted to go near the place.
Why?
@cassthompson3386 it just did not seem like a holiday? No time to relax at all.
@@annedarbyshire7634 it's a different kind of vacation but it's wonderful, especially for the kids.
Thank you so much for the great savings tips, Jordan! I’ve never been and I have a little guy who would love it there, so with this advice, I feel it’s actually do-able!
Omg I totally agree with you! I did Disney and universal this Feb and did all this. The kids had the best time!
We did February of 2022 to Disney world the week of presidents day. They said it was the busiest week since covid had started plus it was super hot. We did have fun but there was no riding rides twice even with genie plus.
The timing of this video is so perfect ❤ Thanks
Thank you so much!!! I have to plan for Disney in early February, Your video gave me so much helpful tips. I never thought about the park day- beach day balancing.
Just binged all the new videos. They were great! Missed you!!
Along the vein of the glow sticks, we bought fun princess (not specifically Disney brand) bubble wands from Amazon a few years ago. Cheap cheap cheap like $12 a piece. We brought them in the park no problem. Then you pay like $1-$2 and buy bubble refills from the bubble wand stands inside the parks. And they work great. 100x better than buying a $40 bubble wand inside the park. And our kids loved them, they have lasted multiple trips and they keep the kids entertained as we were waiting in line, waiting for a parade or on the walk back to the hotel/car.
As per usge …excellent tips, Jordan!!! So awesome. 😊😊😊
Those souvenir tips are genius!
Those were some great tips! I go to Disney all the time, and I think you covered a lot. Going back in a couple weeks, and we can’t wait.
Oh my goodness! We were at Disney world then too for my daughter’s make a wish!
We are a family with 5 kids and your video came at the perfect time! We loved it so much we want to plan a trip in a year but with a large family there are ways to save money and you definitely talked about those! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
This is such an excellent video! I didn't know about the souvenirs/t-shirts/glow sticks etc at the nearby Walmart/Target stores. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant delayed gratification tips too!! Truly brilliant... Mind blown 👏
I love Disney and Universal! We've made same magical memories there! Great tips! We did invest on staying on site for the kids first trip. We got a suite at Arts of Animation and it added to the magic and ease of transport on that trip.
Fantastic info, thanks Jordan !! Especially the tolls lol !!!
Thank You - Jordan - Great ideas and tips - Thank You for sharing
Wooo! Great video, planning for trip that’s several months out. You’ve pretty much summed up all the things others have talked about and a few more on top of that. Definitely going to be rewatching this video a few more times as I continue to prep the trip. And yes definitely looking at this as an investment. My 6yo is going to be doing some of her own fundraising for spending money for the trip too (of course mom and dad are paying for the whole thing). But I feel like the planning and the anticipation is part of the experience ❤
This are all perfect tips!!! Been to different disney locations worldwide and I ALWAYS bring my own disney ears, shirt, and snacks! Except in Hongkong where I got a food voucher for lunch, dinner and an icecream. Saved 20 bucks lol 😆 Haven’t travelled with kids tho so i’m curious how will that change my experience someday! 🥰
They do refillable drinks with the purchase of a souvenir cup at Universal as well
Excellent tips!!! Comprehensive, easy to implement... Well done!! Cheers and love 💖😊
Jordan- are you able to share how much you budgeted for the trip? Thank you !!
Jordan, the popcorn bucket is the BEST KEPT SECRET!! We discovered this during our last trip and it was fantastic!! Now we continue to use it as 1) our cute little souvenir 2) at travel ball games! I pack our popcorn warm from home in our cute little bucket and voila. No more $$ spent at the ball park. Genius!!
Disney is our happy place, not cheap but we love it so much! Great tips ❤
i found your channel by watching a CinnamonToastKen video. Great content! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jordan for the pro tip about glow sticks. We had a blast at Universal with them.
We also brought most of our food!
U missed a major one.... Target Costco Sam's etc will have disney gift cards on sale from time to time. Usually a 500 card at 475... U can purchase them when they go on sale and then use them to pay for whatever at Disney. Some people pay for their room in gift cards.
Great tips! Thank you
We went to Disneyland last summer (2022). Our plan was to get all of our souvenirs on our last day in the park. That way we were not taking a bunch of stuff on the rides and having to carry it around the park. Our hotel was across the street so we were able to take our item back to our hotel before watching the final parade. Made everything so much easier.
Thanks for the tips! I went last year in February and it was definitely less busy. I also went last year in September and it was a mad house!! Still loved it so much tho!! ❤
Yehuuuuuuuuuu❤thanks to you I saw also Jamayca. Love u so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤hope one day will take my family to Disney❤
You missed a huge point Jordan! Standby Skipper will arrange all of your Genie+ for you (based on your preference) so you're not staring at your phone all day and you can be present with your kids/family.
Yes! We just got back and used Standby Skipper. It was a dream!
I didn’t know about this. Thank you!
We are taking our 3 boys (6, 4, and 11mo at the time we go) for the first time in July! Thanks for this!
Sheesh. It just seems so exhausting now. I have ADHD, and stuff like this is so overwhelming to me. I would need a vacation tour guide or something. 😄
I love disney and i love saving money ❤
Great tips!
Another tip: buy your souvenir cheaper online before u go to Disney ❤
September at Disneyland can be really hot. It is So California and doesn't cool down until much later.
Make sure you compare driving times with tolls! We live in Miami and there are tolls if you drive ANYWHERE! I math out if it’s worth the toll with time vs money/gas. Sometime the drive is 20 minutes with a $1.26 toll and over an hour without the toll. So for me, the toll just makes more sense.
Also don’t sleep on the Disney Character Warehouse! If you can squeeze that in the day before you head to the parks, you can find things for killer deals!!
If anyone needs help booking their trip to Disney, I’m a travel agent specializing in Disney!!! I’m FREE too!!! I love Page and love her take on Disney trips! I 100% agree with everything on this video!!
Fantastic suggestions. And I am a seasoned Disney mom. WHERE do you get the energy? NO joke. To go from open to close and be energetic in between- I need a LOT of coffee to say the least.
One of my fav post! Love to travel and this was so helpful! Can you put the link to Air BnB you rented? Thanks!
Amazing info.
Oh I totally bought my Disney souvenirs at thrift stores weeks before we even went on the trip. 😉
Great idea!
"Sovereigns" lmao 🤣
Good tips!
Going to Magic Kingdom for one day this winter with a group of 6. Trying to be frugal but also have a great time and be okay with spending some money.
If you have young children, buy Disney merchandise before you go, from cheap shops, Target etc and make them up a show bag. They can wear their Disney shirt, Disney back pack, Disney ear headband, drink from their Disney water bottle, take their Disney umbrella and sweat shirt, eat their Disney snacks from their Disney lunchbox etc for a fraction of the cost of buying these things at Disney.
Rented themed house fun cool
EXACTLY what we do- snap pics of each "I want" with price....BUT beware that not EVERYTHING is available at World of Disney. We have had the tragedy of not finding it later...and super sad kiddos.
I was going to say the same thing!
I would love to see a more in depth video of the Mixhers! Is it a good investment?
You can not bring in loose ice. We freeze water bottles and juice pouches to keep the food cool and fresh!
We were in Disney World in November of last year. We have done most of what you had explained.
Also, you can reuse your popcorn bucket on your next trip. They will fill it up.
We had our homemade sandwiches while watching the parade.
You can take the popcorn bucket back each time and it's still $2. I've had our bucket for years.
Hey Jordan - what would your advice be on staying until close with toddlers? 11pm is well past bedtime and I don’t think they’d be able to stay awake that long.
We have 4 kids and took them to WDW almost yearly when they were growing up. Our kids were pretty good at staying up until 8 or 9 but never could have made it to 11, especially if we got up early. It's just not worth it to have exhausted kids. That's whey we went to Disney so often, there is no way you are going to be able to see and do it all on one trip.
Power of choice sweet like
Which beaches did u go to??
❤
What beach did you go to?
I live 25 minutes away from Orlando so that help save money
It was so unexpectedly busy when I went to Disneyland in February 😢
Trips are fun and make great memories but they are not an investment.
Not my pick since Disney has been exposed, but I am so glad you got to go somewhere fun with the kids after all y’all have been thru this last year Jordan! We missed you girl!
What’s disney been exposed for?
Pedophilia
@@stephanieg9477just those kind of people that can’t afford to go so they make pretend things up in their mind to feel better 😅
@@stephanieg9477 child trafficking and being the swamp. You don’t have to dig very far to find out the facts
Exposed lol. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
What happened to the name of the rental that you stayed at? There was a post at one time recently, but I was unable to find that post now.
It was Loma Homes - Upon A Castle Theme. The post was for a giveaway, and I took it down once the giveaway ended :)
We rented an Airbnb....and then it cancelled on us, but we still had a few months so I found another Airbnb...and then they cancelled on us ONE WEEK BEFORE OUR TRIP. I panicked and found a cheap hotel. It worked out in the end but it was a SKETCHY hotel and we decided to pay the big bucks on a fancier hotel next time (in like....2027).
I know that I could do this open to close schedule but I’m wondering how you were able to do this with toddlers 😅 how did they last?!
She left them at home...
@@Lizanneschulz Best expense cutting tip in Jordan's mind - Leave nearly half your kids at home. I saw her name on her shirt, hope the kids weren't labeled. That's one of the oldest safety tips for Disney - don't print kids names on shirts.
When eating at the quick service food places adults can get kids meals and its plenty of food. Saved us some money
Really save by not going!
We went this past September, was not empty and the temp was 90 with 90% humidity. Lines were 45 min to 3 hours. It was awful.
Busy time, and it doesn't cool off until at least Christmas.
@@lacee7494 we learned that the hard way.
The popcorn buckets are good for life, so you can bring it back for 20 years or more!
The World of Disney souvenir tip is not completely true. We definitely got some souvenirs in the park that we never saw again outside the park even at world of disney
Do Disney really cheap. As in, don't do it.
No vacation is cheap unless you camp.
Cheap and Disney do not belong in the same sentence.😂 Personally I'm glad to no longer spend my money on anything Disney! Glad you had fun though!
Haha I did make this disclaimer at the beginning!
Did you watch the video?
The title is very click baity 😉 she does state “how to do Disney on the cheap” then in the video she disclaims, you can’t … sooo 🤷🏻♀️ 🤯 lol
@@thewadsquadI thought that too, Kim!
@@thewadsquad Yes, I heard her in the video and it was the title that made me laugh! 🙃😉
There are no cheap way - I wrote this prior to opening the video and yup it’s not cheap. I just got back.
That's typical American. Well we have Pinocchio here in n Italy
🎉❤
Tips for going with small children?😅 We went like a year and a half ago with 3 kids ages 5 and under and it was a lot to handle. I want to be more prepared this next time going as we will have 4 kids now ages 7 and under
I live in Italy and Disney isnt popular here. We have Disneyland Paris in France. We have our cartoons
