Disney World Spending Down

For the first time in ten years, spending at Disney World is down. While attendance has been up the guests at Disney World have spent less on theme park tickets, dining, souvenirs, and accommodations. This is only the third time in Disney World history where spending has not increased over the previous year.

Here are 5 ways guests saved money at Disney World this year:
1. Tickets- Guests went for the free tickets such as Free Birthday ticket and guests also opted for the base tickets as compared to the park hopper tickets.
2. Souvenirs- Guest purchased less souvenirs this year than last. One great way to spend less on souvenirs is purchase souvenirs on the last day of your vacation. This way kids can spend the days at Disney looking at everything that they could possibly want and at the end of the trip they can pick their most favorite item.
3. Accommodations- One of the best ways to save money on your Disney World vacation is to stay at one of the Allstar Resorts or stay at a hotel off Disney World property. You might be surprised but you can save at least 30% on your vacation by just staying off site as compared to staying at a Disney owned hotel.
4. Dining- The best way to save money on dining at Disney World is to eat off property, but there are so many good restaurants inside the parks this sometimes is not reasonable. Many restaurants offer 50% off deals if you eat during their off peak hours.

Once the economy bounces back and the unemployment rate gets better the amount of money guests spend at Disney World should go up.
