Creator's Key Takeaways

we're in the Parks every day and believe me we've made all the bad decisions so that you don't have to

finding ways to save money is always going to be worth that extra effort especially since the money you wind up saving through discount opportunities could end up being hundreds if not thousands of dollars

if you don't look before you sit at Disney World and a cast member hasn't had the chance to come around and clean that newly available table just yet you might find yourself accidentally sitting in something that you won't want to

the best types of shoes to bring with you on a Disney trip are ones that have already been broken in but aren't so old that you're going to have to duct tape them back together

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check Disney World's special offers page for discounts on hotels, tickets, and vacation packages
Look for free loyalty program signups or happy hour opportunities around Disney Springs to save on food and drinks
Take screenshots of all reservations and plans made through the My Disney Experience app to help with recovery if glitches occur
Do your own research on dining recommendations rather than relying solely on others' suggestions
