2. BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM

If you want to avoid headaches and coupon clipping, you can always go to a travel agent. Not only do they know the area (Disney World is, after all, the most popular tourist attraction in the world), but they can often get you deals that will include travel and park admittance. So if you're interested in the travel agent, you better start talking to one sooner rather than later.

For convenience, we recommend staying at a hotel within the park - especially with the recent additions of more economical hotels (such as the All-Star Music resort and the All-Star Sports resort, both of which are around $70 a night).

If you're traveling with a large group (5-12+ people), you should check out the villa-type accommodations. Even though they may seem expensive at first, you'll save money by not having to book more than one hotel room. Also, since the villa accommodations come with cooking facilities, you'll save money on meals. For specifics on resort accommodations, check out Disney's resort web page.

You must book your room as early as possible (in fact, as soon as you decide you're gonna go) if you wanna get one of the good cheap deals. This is doubly true if you're planning on going during peak times. Also keep in mind that off-season value prices are generally available from January through early February and mid-August through mid-December, so you'll save more on your trip if you're flexible about when you go.
