You may want to check out www.mousesavers.com. I saved over $600 on my last trip by using the discount codes on the site. Have fun! ºoº

www.mousesavers.com or Kingdom Konsultants(Pam) who is a sponsor of wdwmagic.com and is on the boards constantly.:sohappy: Other ideas would be to bring some of your own food into the parks as snacks and eat light for breakfast. Such as bagels and coffee. You can really keep the costs down that way.:sohappy: Also, eat dinner a little early while they still have the lunch menu out at alot of these places to eat. You can save yourself alot of $$$ that way!!:wave:

You don't mention ages and sexes of the party members and whether it is feasable to share one room or whether two would be necessary. What type of resort are you proposing to stay at and would the trip be cheaper if you went to stay in a suite as opposed to resort rooms ?

My husband and I are bringing my aunt & cousins with us this year and looked into alot of options with onsite stays. We found the Wilderness Cabins to be reasonable for the time and you have your own kitchen, and grill outside to make at least breakfast and possibly some lunches to save some $. Also you might want to consider buying 1 AP for the discount. Especially on the Cabins the AP discount has saved me ALOT of money so far.

Alot of people buy the value meals at WDW. (Ex Burger and fries combo). Well when you buy 5 of these meals you have TONS of fries.
What we do is buy 2 of the value meals (with fries) and 3 meals WITHOUT THE FRIES. They takes about $2.00 off of the price! We save $6.00 per meal times 3 meals per day, times 14 days. Over $250 saved to spend on OTHER Disney merchandise!

I found a way when it comes to food to save money....
Most of the sit down rest. offer a kids menu...and being that I am not a kid...(28 years old)...they will still let you order from it, and the kids menu is pretty big..and if you add either a side salad or soup....you still have room for dessert!:slurp:
There were some days that I treated myself, but what we did was have just a small snack during the early aft. and eat a nice dinner while they were still offering the lunch menu.

You can actually ship things to the hotel before you go. Like snacks, water($2.50 a bottle in parks!!) Depending on when you go, get the spray water bottles and take them with you. Anything you take with you will be cheaper than buying there. Film, food, pens for autograph books(which you could make at home cheaper!!)
Mousesavers is a good place. Plus Disney now offers you a room only rate, tickets separate . You can save that way I saved major money doing everything separately!!

I heard an idea for autographs that I really like.
well...2 actually, but they are related
One was to leave the left hand page of the book blank, then paste the picture of the character on that page.
The other is to have the characters sign index cards, which you can slip into the photo album next to the picture. (this would eliminate the need to buy a $7 autograph book)

I would suggest looking at www.disneydollarless.com and it's Yahoo group message board. I don't like reading the Yahoo board itself, but I do like getting the digest emails of the posts. Those folks are very helpful in the money saving idea department. Mickey

It could just depend on your server too...but it never hurts to ask...There was a group of 4 adults in our party, and no kids...and we got to order off the kids menu whenever we asked for it and than orderd a salad to go with it...just the perfect amount.
