Anyone know some good discounts?

[mmeads4]

OK WE ALL WANT TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS WHEN VACTIONING AT DISNEY, but how? There are soooo many websites promising cheaper tickets, discount dining and resorts. My family and I are going in December- we got a good deal renting points from a DVC owner- and have the resort part done. Now the tickets....I have searched several websites, including ebay...anyone with some hot tips. I even subscribe to mousesavers.com and that's a great site! I bought an ebook off ebay from MouseOnTheHouse.com and it had some great tips and info, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TICKETS! Also, anyone know how to get free Disney Dollars? I have seen a few sites promising ways to get free disney dollars, but how? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated by all.

Welcome to the DIS, nmeads4!

I'm going to move this over to the budget board. I think that the folks over there may have some good ideas for you.

You could also check out the discount page right here on www.wdwinfo.com for more on available discounts.

I figured I may have posted in the wrong section and didn't know how to move it. Thanks for the move.

If you go to reward sites (check out the reward board) some of them are quickrewards, creationrewards and sunshine rewards they all offer free disney dollars for doing paid/free sign up offers, paid clicks, surveys and even online shopping. They are also very good about paying. Since it looks like you have quite a bit of time until your next trip you can rack up quite a bit of free disney dollars through them!

Hi, when I bought my 10 day tickets last year park hopper no expire they were the cheapest at www.ticketmania.com they are a reliable site and they sent coupons and pamphlets about other florida attractions. The tickets worked lol. oh and prices include tax/shipping. some places don't and then you think the tickets are less but they aren't after shipping etc.

If you're renting DVC points, you can purchase the Dining Plan for your stay. The cost would be $37.99/night (adult) and $10.99/night (child, ages 3-9). Everyone gets 1 TS, 1 CS and 1 snack credit per day. If you plan to do a few character meals and tableservice, this is a great way to go. You can read details about the plan here:

Bump!

I thought about the dinning plan and that's not for us. $40 each adult /night + the kids, that's around $100/day for meals- we can do that cheaper, and still get some great meals. Thanks for the tip though. I'll check oout the rewards tip.
Anyone know if ticketmania or other sites sell the MVMCP tickets, or does Disney only sell those?

You have to buy those directly from Disney. AP holders can get a discount if they buy their tickets the day of the event. Of course, they also run the risk of the event being sold out prior to the day of.

We are going Dec 3-8th at OKW. It will be our first WDW trip, first Family vacation and we are soooooooooo excited. My children are trying to earn stickers for chores (5 stickers in each column= 1 disney sticker= 1 disney dollar) They are 4 and 2, it's working!
Check out www.sunshinerewards.com for free Disney Dollars.
