Word to the wise, though? One mom we spoke to warned that Target doesn’t seem to love it when you buy $1,000 worth of gift cards in a single transaction. Target, while it doesn’t offer a discount on the gift cards, offers a 5% discount with them for using their Target REDcard or Debit REDcard. You can amplify your savings if you use a good cash-back credit card to make the purchase. Then you buy Disney gift cards at a discount from a participating wholesale store like BJs Wholesale, Sam’s Club, or Walmart - most of which offer a 4% discount on the gift cards.
I can’t tell you how many Disney-planning pros recommended this hack! Basically, you work out a budget for what you want to spend while at the Disney parks. Read on to discover their (and my) best tips and hacks for saving money on a trip to Disney. To help you harness the power of your inner frugal Disney ninja, I gleaned the wisdom of a slew of seasoned, Mickey-lovin’ mamas.
Disney is what you make it… no matter how much - or more to the point, little - you spend. And don’t stress yourself out comparing your budget-friendly trip to the sequined-Mouse-ear-extravaganza your cousin shared on social media. Let’s be clear, though: You can absolutely have an amazing Disney trip without feeling like you need to take out a second mortgage. Because it might be the most magical place on earth, but it sure doesn’t sound like the most magical place for your bank account.
Then you Google “average cost of a Disney vacation” and, once you pick your jaw up off the floor, you wonder who’s bankrolling this trip. And now you’re determined: You want to take your kids to Disney. You’ve dreamed of being one of those families posing in front of Magic Kingdom in your cutesy coordinated Disney merch. You’ve heard your child’s not-so-secret birthday wish whisper. You’ve seen the surprise “ We’re going to Disney!” videos plastered all over your Facebook wall.
