FTR, that is not accurate. Most airlines have their cheapest fares about 3 months prior to travel. Right now, SW is charging $169 each way from Providence to Orlando for July. I promise you, it will not be that high in May.
Not worth it here. I wish they would start making guest show resort room keys/badges to stop this. Sorry to be on WDW side and not looking for ways to save, but when those lots fill up and people cant find a park who are legitimately going to DTD to shop/dine/etc, it is no fun.2 notes on this one:
1 - buses from DTD to resorts may not start until close to 9am, the same time as the parks open. If you are trying to get into the parks as early as possible, this strategy won't help
2 - taking a bus to a resort and then a bus to the park (and then back again at night, could take anywhere from 60-90 minutes each way, eating up 2-3 hours of your day. Parking costs $14 per day. I'd personally rather pay the $14 than waste the time on transportation for "free".
Fixed. :lol:That's why i said it takes an incredible amount bit of extra time. It helps saves money regardless
You beat me to it. I was coming back to post this. Yes, nice suggestion.Can never forget the classic free water from any quick service. Not only is it better for you than soda but saves a ton as well. Just be warned that MK's water has a funny taste so use some type of power packs (crystal light, Propel ect.) for flavor.
This is what I have done for the last 5 years. My bank statment even says "Disney Account" on it.My friend has a vacation fund account. Every paycheck he has a certain amount automatically moved to the vacation account and that is how they pay for their trips.

If you stay off site and want to save money on not paying for parking, try this out.
Now this takes a bit of extra time, so plan accordingly. Drive to DTD and park for free. Take a bus to any resort(one closer to the park of your choice may be better or one that is connected to the monorail line if youre going to Epcot or MK) then just hop on the free disney transportation! They dont card you to see if youre a on site guest or anything. The only set back is catching buses which can take some extra time but sometimes its more worth it than paying whatever theyre charging for parking
Good suggestion, but just note that this is highly frowned upon by some Disney purists. Because WDW transportation is 'for resort guests only' the fact that they don't check ID creates this little loop-hole.

Park at DtD and sleep in your car

Please clue me in on how to do this...I have not been able to figure this one out yet. My oldest is going on 20 and we still seem to be paying for her!!! :ROFLOL:
