Tips for booking Disney

Go out of season, pick the quieter months where there are less queues and it will be cheaper.

Don’t go for an all in one package. It’s nearly always works out more cost effective to find and book all the components separately.

Book flights when they are first released. This is when they are most likely to be at their lowest.

Check the minimum height requirements for rides. It might be worth waiting that little bit longer, to ensure your little ones can get on as many rides as possible.

Check flight prices from other UK airports. If you live in London, check the flight prices from Manchester or Birmingham - they are sometimes hundreds cheaper.

Likewise, check flights to Tampa International rather than Orlando International, as they are often cheaper.

Clever plans for Disney

Make a plan for your stay. The parks are huge and it’s too difficult and stressful to wing it.

Planning is key. List the must do rides and know when the parades and fireworks and shows are.

Get the Disney app and consider buying some fast track passes for queue jumps

Bring plenty of snacks to save time and money queuing for food, when you could be on rides or shows.

Buy things like Disney clothing & Minnie Ears before you go, it's all so much cheaper on Etsy or Amazon than inside the parks.
