14 Ridiculous Ways People WASTE MONEY In Disney World

I’m planning a trip to Disneyworld this March, and in this video I just seen the Mickey head lollipops I have tryin to find these for sooo long. I’m a diabetic an had sugar free last time an haven’t seen since! Please can you tell where I can find them

Don't waste a dime there not even worth going lol

I believe Walt Disney would be horrified of how expensive the parks are now! No park is worth 155-165 a day!

100 bucks for a rain poncho? Wowzer I grew up you just make couple holes in a garbage bag lol.

If you are a Target Card Member, their automatic 5% discount also applies to Disney Giftcard, which means you can get a $100 giftcard for $95. Even better, from December 2nd-3rd, gift cards are 10% off. Then that 5% off applies after on top of that 10% off. It’s just in time for my trip hehehee

#1 Money saving tip.
Stay home rent a movie and put that several grand against your house mortgage

They waste money by going in the first place

Smartest thing to do is go to Disneyland and don't buy anything go to a buffet before entering the park

Even as a child I knew I could probably get a better deal going to Toys r Us than buying a toy at Disneyland so I never did it

What I find awesome about Disneyland??? As soon as you get off a ride, you're right in the middle of a store!!!

My mom, and I, went to Walt Disney World in 2004. I bought a Pal Mickey just because I knew that I would fall in love with him.
I'm bringing a poncho and umbrella with me. I'm also buying a popcorn bucket because I know that I will use it after my trip. I'm staying at All Star Movies because I'm only going to be there to swim and sleep.

I disagree about the lollipops, they are totally worth it. You can get, like, 15 desserts worth of pure sugar high out of ONE lollipop. Now that's getting your money's worth.

Im from the UK and find Disney a rip off. Sorry

Isn't finding ways to get people to waste their money what Disney World is all about?

The ponchos are reusable, ive used mine multiple time during multiple trips.

Going in 2025 so starting to plan now thankyouuuu!

I went on the avatar ride awesome

Any advice for gluten free food and snacks at the park? Thanks 🎉

I thing the babbitt Bobbitt boutique and the Cinderella castle restaurant are the worst. I try to only get the prepackaged ones at the orlando airport. I like to eat it on the plane. I will say though the balloons are a good suggestion fir wheel chairs. Makes people less likely to kick you (they do)

Pre-covid, we went to WDW every year. It wasn't cheap, but the service and quality of the experience was worth what you paid. Today, it's more expensive, many services no longer exist (eg. Magical Express) or you have to pay extra (eg. Fast Pass), and some perks only go to those staying at the highest end resorts. It's no longer a family friendly place, just a money pit.

If you're going to keep rechecking flight prices be sure to do it in an incognito browser. Otherwise they know you want that flight and the prices will only go up.

With your snack guides- are they updated regularly? We’re taking our first trip next summer and I’d like to get a snack guide so we can see if there’s some must haves we make sure to hit! It’s our first but maybe our only and we’re still trying to stay within our budget but we wanna try some things!

We use park hopper so we can spend the morning in a park and then go somewhere else for dinner. Epcot has the best restaurants over all imo so we often park hop there in the afternoon to ride some rides and eat a nice sit down. This is one example of how we use park hopper to our advantage.

I’m going to Disney world 9/26-9/28 2023, will parks be busy enough that I need to purchase Genie +

I love the tip about asking to take a picture with the bunch of balloons! I'm definitely going to do that when I visit!

Love it !!!!! Thank you !!!!

I always get the park hoppers because when we go to things like animal kingdom, or Hollywood studios, they close earlier than the Magic Kingdom or Epcot and even on days we go to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot as a main park. We can go to the other one for lunch or for an hour or two, and to do some thing and then just go back the best food is always at Epcot and we also looked at the Magic hours to plan our vacation in advance

Buy them at Walmart.

Who cares, they are in Disney. They already wasted $ just going there.

Preemptively pack those pre-purchased ponchos to prevent prohibitive predatory price points.

I stayed at Animal Kindgom Lodge savannah view during a full moon. Late Night was the best viewing.

When we went as kids at disney we were only able to buy ONE souvenir. It was amazing and to this day we sherish the momeries way more then the material ( we dont have those souvenirs anymore). I thank my parents for us not being materialistic because to this days it still follows us and i guess the planet thanks us too haha.

I don't think I have ever booked a flight way in advance. Usually booking about three months out is best for price, unless you are booking with a carrier like Southwest, in which case you probably do want to do it early. However, when we went to Disneyland, I kept an eye on the prices and wound up scoring a steal of a deal going to John Wayne about four months out. We usually get the best deals for what we want with American, booking through a site like Orbitz. They may not have the cheapest upfront cost, but when travelling with kids I don't want to use Spirit, because they won't guarantee that the kids will be seated with you unless you pay extra for seat choice. So by the time you have been nickled and dimed, have you saved anything? I would rather book with a company that actually cares about families having a good experience and will put kids and parents together.

My biggest issue with park hoppers is you have to buy them for every day of your stay. I'd do it for one day, but generally we just like to do one park per day. And it most definitely isn't worth the cost to spend a bundle for a family of four for four or more days. Just go to one park each day and be done with it. .

Im broke. I still owe credit card debt since 6 years ago going Disney

I just got back from Disney! Pray for my pockets! I spent 200 for a family of 5 on burgers and fries!

My Disney Days are done. It is so complicated to plan a vacation now. It's no longer a vacation, it's a covert mission. And Disney guests sucked more and more each time I went.

Disney sucks big time now. I am so happy we got to go in its heyday before they used the parks as a cash cow and stripped all of the perks from the resorts and parks. R.I.P. Disney. 😢

Thanks!!👍👍👍

To bad they dont pack the place up ...and move back to California. O ,thats right California dont want it .

Spending money isn't an investment

Pick up the clear ponchos less than $2 at Walmart and put them in your fanny pack so you have them it rains in Florida almost everyday

We kept our ponchos for 5 years after

- ... um... by going there in the first place?

Can you book a disable buggy in advance%?

Not having kids seems to be the best way 😂😂😂
On another note, the extended evening hours are the main reason I stay on property when I go. I'm a night owl and I'm not getting there for rope drop...ever but the extra hour or two let's me get anything done I didn't get a chance to.

I spend the most on souvenirs, and I basically buy 95% pins, because, firstly resell value makes them worth it, and then also I collect them, and they’re easy souvenirs to walk around with in the parks, but I’m also a crazy collector and spend $1000s in the parks on pins lol

Cost me a thousand dollars just to get my family thru the WALL surrounding the park, keeping out the peasants, and we spent half the day WAITING in line for dumb pirate ride. Never again. The most evil money hungry corporation in the world. Spending money on the ticket itself is a waste of money.
