8 Things That Are Worth “Splurging” on At Walt Disney World
4. Alcohol Alcohol is one of a handful of things that you absolutely cannot bring inside Disney parks. Thus, to get a brew your only option is to ante up. Is an alcoholic drink absolutely necessary? Well, it depends on the person, I suppose. My husband holds the view that anyone can go to Disney, but everyone would enjoy more Disney with a beer. (I’m partial to margaritas, myself.) Yes, a drink fo

6. Starbucks If you’re going to get coffee in the parks, Starbucks is really the only way to go. There are other, cheaper places where coffee is offered, but (with the possible exception of Joffrey’s) they’re not all that great. In my opinion it’s worth “splurging” a dollar or two to get something you know you’ll like.

7. Mini-Golf Have you been to Fantasia mini golf? If not, put it on the list for your next visit. At $14 for adults and $12 for kids, it’s not the cheapest mini-golf in Orlando. But we consider it a fun way to hang out together, and it’s a worthy “splurge” to stay in the Disney mood on a non-park day.

8. Annual Passes Because we live close and know that we will use them often, splurging on annual passes is a no-brainer for us. Though they’re the biggest expense on this not-so-splurgy “splurge” list, annual passes may actually be the best value for others too.

8 Things That Are Worth “Splurging” on At Walt Disney World
Our family’s Disney philosophy is this: you don’t have to spend a lot to make great memories. We happen to live fairly close to Disney World, and we do Disney often…but on the cheap. We regularly pack lunches. We bring ponchos and glow sticks from the Dollar Store. We are the epitome of frugal and should consider tattooing “value conscious” on our foreheads. However, even those on the tightest bud

1. Ice Cream Five dollars for an ice cream sandwich? Highway robbery! Or maybe not… Often we try to save money by bringing our own snacks into the parks. But on a hot day, there’s just nothing quite like ice cream. And according to unscientific child polls, when it’s shaped like Mickey Mouse it actually tastes better. We’ll often bring sandwiches knowing full well that we’ll “splurge” on Mickey Ba

2. Splitsville Splitsville bowling alley in Disney Springs brands itself with the words “luxury lanes”, and luxury is usually diametrically opposed to a tight budget. However, did you know that Splitsville has early bird specials? If you go anytime before 12:30pm, you actually can get luxury lanes on a regular budget. We’ve gone to Splitsville during early bird hours, and can testify to its awesom

10. Feeding Animals Feeding animals is unacceptable at Disney World. This includes the exotic animals at Animal Kingdom, and also the common ducks and birds that can be found almost anywhere. They probably get enough “accidental crumbs” anyways… Here’s to keeping Disney clean, classy, and totally acceptable!

6. Failing to Wear Shoes/Shirt No shoes, no shirt, no Disney fun. It might seem like a good idea to take off your shoes on a ride like Kali River Rapids, but for safety reasons that’s not allowed. Similarly, the splash areas might seem like the perfect place to let kiddos run shirtless. Sometimes cast members will be lenient within the splash areas, but be sure they are fully clothed before you mo
