Funny to think that Doc was young once, but I was and I did make the amazing voyage to Walt Disney World Orlando, Florida in my last year of college, March 1993. I was paying for
most of my college education myself and I was putting food on my own table so the trip was going to be a budget buster if I wasn't careful. But you know Doc, I had some ideas up my sleeves. And now I am going to share these cheap and easy travel tips with you so you can concentrate on having fun and not on how much money you have left.
1. Book your accommodations and plane together at such websites as www.priceline.com. Doing this gives you a reduced rate along with a package discount on top. Also be sure to rent a suite with a kitchenette, queen beds and possibly a second bedroom included. Be sure that suite is located on Disney property. I will explain this further along in the article, but trust me, you will thank me later. And be extra sure that you book a cheap seat on the plane. You don't need caviar and champagne to get you to Florida!! A cheap seat, with its peanuts and perhaps Danish pastry breakfast should do just fine.
2. Travel in a large group. A lot of companies offer group discounts so grab all of your poor college friends and mention that you have a group of 10 or more to book for. Your friends will come in handy later on in the trip too. Even invite a few of your friend's friends. You may not know them but inviting them will pay off big time. By splitting the cost of the hotel suite you will end up paying less for your one week of fun and sun then you would if you went alone.
3. Take advantage of Disney specials such as the 1 week pass and the free on your birthday discount. The one week pass will get you into every Disney Theme Park for cheaper then a day pass and will often offer such perks as the ability to get in before the official opening. Some passes offer a few bonus food vouchers. We'll touch on these in a moment.
