Stay In "Off-site" Resort

Sure, Disney World and Disneyland offer a tons of resorts and hotels that are on-site at the parks, but they can be very pricey. And if you are looking to save a little money, check out other hotels that are within five miles of the park, you’ll probably find that they’re several that are much cheaper, and most also offer perks like in-room refrigerators and a continental breakfast. By finding a hotel with these extra amenities, you can keep your kids entertained after hours, keep your own snacks, meals and cold drinks, and, most importantly, fill up on a healthy breakfast before you set foot in the park. It is often a good idea to check out travel sites for hotel reviews to find the best deal on one that’s a few miles away from the park, but offers a free shuttle to Disney to make up for the distance. Riding a couple of minutes both ways can help save major bucks in parking at the parks.
