the ultimate disney world savings guide

[daleswife]

Has any one ever bought it and is it worth it? It says you can save hundreds of dollars by following her steps. She use to work for Disney or something and she knows secrets.....Im just wondering if anyone has ever bought it and if anything in it worked???

What are her "steps" or "secrets"? I would assume most of what you need to know to save money you can find right here. I can't imagine that there are secrets to saving money, you just need to do a little research to find the info that is freely available.

ETA: okay, I just found the website. I know she wants to make money by selling the thing, but it's very vague. The video clip gives the only direct information, but it's all basic info that you can get very easily online or directly from Disney-- use magical express instead of a cab, the dining plan, buy souvineers offsite (which would require a cab...), bring a poncho, photopass CD.

Totally agree here, a WASTE of your hard earned $$.
The DIS has ALL the "in the know" stuff and you really just need to ASK away or research here.
It bothers me that people try and make a buck when the info is really available if you know where to look!

blah blah blah...someone at work did buy this & then pased it out to everyone to get their monies worth.
the BIG SECRET is renting points from somone who owns a DVC

save yourself the cash & head over to the budget boards or the DVC rental board

I bought this 'insider guide' about a week before I discovered the DIS. What a waste of money! I called to get my money back.

Truthfully, there is nothing in there that is you can't find out by checking out a few threads here on DIS or even spending a few hours searching the internet. In the several hours you would spend reading that 'insider guide' you can actually find useful and pertinent information that applies to your specific situation.

Save your money!

Not worth it.

The benefit I found was the tip on buying points and the wealth of information of this website. Wish I would have found the website first.

I think you can find anything you'd like to know here, on the DISboards. These people are amazing. They've helped me (and comforted me, and informed me...) on 3 trips *AND* my Wedding!
