The best times to head off to the sunshine state are during the middle of winter and late spring when a value is waiting to be had. If you live close enough or are among the brave and live farther out, traveling by car is the cheapest option.

However, if flying is inevitable, no matter what time of the year you plan on coming, book as soon as you can for the best rates.

Shop around on the internet and be flexible about the location you fly into. Significant savings can be had by flying into one airport that may be a mere 20 minutes away from the other.

When planning a Disney World vacation one of the best budget savers is do it yourself and book your vacation online.

Instead of finding a cheap rate on a hotel room, look into reserving a privately owned vacation rental home. There are many close to Disney World and start as low as $89 a night, for a house – not a hotel room.

The key to a great rate is to book directly with the owner and avoid using a third-party. One of other big expenses while on a Disney vacation is the cost of the food at the Florida theme parks. If you’re renting accommodations with a kitchen, eat a big breakfast before heading out.

If you’re not so fortunate, stop at fast food restaurant or cheap breakfast chain along the way. If everyone fills up, you could hold off on another meal until dinner. Pack snacks from home if hunger pains strike.
