I thought I'd start a Canadian thread for those in BC/Western Canada where we share different tips on how to go to Disneyland more economically. I've learned a lot from my 2 Disney loving friends and from the Discommunity. I've saved hundreds of $$ because of them. This would include tips from which credit card to get to buying DL passes online. Basically whatever.
Flights
For awhile I checked Alaska Airlines online every day for any deals. THEN I received an email about a sale (this was way easier than checking everyday). I booked flights to SNA (LAX is too far away for me) for 3 people out of Seattle ($79 pp one way). It was $528 US for 3 people return.
I know a Cdn family who go 3 times a year (they have AP) and I always wondered why. Then when I saw the flight sale I realized you could book the sales now AND 4 months down the road for the same great price. That way you get the most out of your AP.
DISNEYLAND PASS I have a BMO Mastercard and get my monthly prescription there and use my Air Miles card. I have extended medical so the company pays for most of the prescription. I watch Safeway and they have good deals occasionally. If I have a small grocery shop to do, I use their buy $75 get 75 Air Miles. I never thought it would amount to much so I never watched them. But they add up and after a few years. I now have 5900 AM. I can get a 5-day pass for 2350 pts. Saves me $600.
Any other tips out there?
