Thrifty Thursday: Couponing for Your Disney Vacation

Couponing is a great way to save for your Disney vacation!  Manufacturer’s coupons are relatively easy to obtain.  They are available in most local newspapers at least weekly (usually in Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday editions).  They are also found in that junk mail circular stuffed in your mailbox and in your favorite magazines.  Manufacturer’s coupons are also available online!  Find them, scan them into your phone, email them to yourself or if you like a hard copy, print them on your printer.  Most stores actually will scan the coupons from your phone which is a big savings in printer cartridges and paper for you.  I know you are wondering by now how in the world all this coupon talk relates to your Disney vacation… Read more

Thrifty Thursday: More Money to Spend With Disney Gift Cards!

We discovered Disney Gift cards  just before our last visit to Disney World.  Disney gift cards can be used for almost anything at Disney from Disney park tickets to Mickey Mouse merchandise, and can be used just like cash at Disney theme parks, resort hotels, Disney retail stores, DisneyStore.com, Disney MusicStore.com, and Disney cruises. Disney gift cards make great gifts for that special kid or adult who is heading for a Disney vacation because there are a number of designs to fit each person’s personality or character choice (there is even one with Olaf!)  and each card ordered from Disney directly arrives with a personalized message for the recipient!  Pretty cool, huh?  Read more
