10 Best Ways to Save BIG On Your Walt Disney World Vacation

8. Reconsider the Dining Plan

The dining plan may be tempting to book, but the price increases can make it (literally) hard to swallow. If you don’t want to eat at a sit-down restaurant every day or if you have picky children, buying into the dining plan is not a cost-effective. (Personally, I found that I spent a fraction of the money by paying for meals out of pocket.) The benefits of the dining plan will vary from family to family depending on appetites and personal taste, so I would recommend that everyone calculates the cost before deciding.
