Simply put, I think it’s elitist.
Like it’s such an easily achievable thing to do.
The average family has to plan and save to afford a Disney trip – or any trip – so suggesting it’s as easy as pushing a button feels wrong. That this decision can be made on a whim.
Because for most people, it can’t.
Or shouldn’t.
People make poor financial decisions when they get caught up in this mentality. They go into irresponsible debt succumbing to the current Instagram culture that reminds you often that “you can always make money, but you won’t always have time to make memories” or however that saying goes.
The United States Tourism Industry is slated to lose 90 billion dollars in 2025. Fewer and fewer people are “just taking the trip.”

Ways to Save on Your Visit
Book with my preferred partner
To start, make sure you’re booking your trip with an experienced agency, knowledgeable in Disney promotions. Get Away Today has been working with Disney since 1990 – they were the first agency Disneyland ever partnered with!
They price match and will credit you any savings that arrive after you book your package, so you don’t have to watch for sales. Price out your trip with them here. Or call 855.GET.AWAY.
If you’re staying off site to save money, absolutely check their pricing as they have exclusive relationships with many Good Neighor Hotels that include 3rd & 4th nights free, free breakfast and free parking.

Know Where to Stay

Here are my recommendations for hidden gems with great experiences at a good cost.
Here’s all about Disneyland Resort Hotels with links to book at discounted rates.
Don’t use Lightning Lanes
I create and test park strategies that allow you to move through the park in the most efficient manner.
These specific strategies do NOT include Lightning Lanes, so there is no additional cost to your park ticket.
Manage your Food Expenses
Bring your food in! Here’s all about snacking at the parks along with what I recommend you pack.
Skip table service dining and focus on counter service plus snacks. You’ll have plenty of fun with food this way.
