We're going to be within a few hours from WDW and are considering taking a ride to see the new Fantasyland (can't wait until next year!) for one day. Any suggestions for lowering the cost of a day pass for a family of four? Thanks!

Cheap one day pass?

Sit through a looong, high-pressure sales pitch for one of the many timeshare companies out there. A lot of them offer free (or greatly discounted) one day tickets. Be prepared to waste at least a half day and deal with extremely obnoxious salespeople to get your bargain tickets. And you probably won't get tickets for the whole family, just 2 for the adults.
Personally, I'd rather pay the $$ and avoid the hassle...

As others have said - there will not be much of a discount on day tickets. Avoid the time share presentations - a waste of precious time.
That's what I figured but hoped that someone had some secret tip! I won't sit in another time-share sales pitch again. We made an appt with DVC several trips back and bought our DVC with a very minimal amount of time on the pitch! Should've bought more points that way we could've snuck in a couple of extra days! Guess we'll wait until next year. Thanks for the help!
Hop the turnstiles and see if you can outrun Disney security.
lol...now that seems like a good time.

Or you could look at Fantasyland on You Tube for free. One day is not worth the money just to see that, really!

@MomofKatie what times shares still do this? I looked and looked and couldn't turn up anything concrete and didn't want to chance it. We have a family of 6, 5 who need tickets so I was looking everywhere, we were ok with loosing 1/2 a day for a good deal. About 7 years ago we listened to an Orange Lake presentation and got a heck of a deal on 10 day hopper. Our children were 12 and 25 months old and we sort of zoned out and just dealt with them. The pitch did get a little intense but we just said no, we can't afford 3x and then were showed the door. Having the little ones made it chaotic and easy to leave, we have double the little ones now and I am pregnant so I think saying NO would be easy again.

While there are few opportunities to save on a one day pass to WDW, there are a few ways to save money in order to make the day more affordable.
1. Eat a large, early breakfast off-property. If you can fill your stomachs early, there will be less need to eat during the first half of the day. Egg McMuffins come to mind, but you catch my drift.
2. Bring your own meals. Determine that you don't need to eat at a table service restaurant while enjoying Disney's other attractions instead. Subs from Publix, items that some people eat at ambient temperature such as fried chicken; whatever your particular culinary habits will allow. Bring it all in a container of choice, and eat at your leisure. The Tommorowland Terrace eatery has outdoor seating and can accommodate anyone eating their non-Disney food.
3. Bring your own snacks. Trail mix, cookies, and candies can all be stored in sandwich bags for the sake of individual portioning.
4. Save the souvenirs for another trip. Why make the plastic industry in China any wealthier on a trip where you're just trying to have a little fun for the day?
