Disney on a Dime

Visit Anaheim reports that it costs a family of four about $3,000 to travel to Disneyland and stay in Anaheim California for three days!  That number is just not manageable for many families looking to visit the happiest place on earth.  I am here to give you some tips and tricks on how to enjoy all that Disneyland and Anaheim has to offer without completely breaking the bank.   Firstly, choose a hotel within walking distance to Disneyland that includes parking!  Not only will being able to walk to the park save your sanity by avoiding traffic but, it will also save you a ton on parking fees!  Disneyland’s self-parking is currently $20 for the first hour and $10 for each hour after!  I recommend staying just across the street from Disney’s main gate at the Eden Roc Inn & Suites.   Unlike some of the areas branded hotel’s, Eden Roc is a refreshingly small, boutique hotel with large updated rooms.  The hotel is much less expensive then most big box hotels in the area and parking is included!  They also offer various offers throughout the year when you book directly through the hotel.  You can find out more about the Eden Roc Inn & Suites and their current promotions by visiting www.edenrocanaheim.com or by calling 714-663-8700.   You can save even more by booking a Disney package directly through the hotel website.  Select from their two or three-day Disney packages with a minimum two- night stay and save 12% more than purchasing tickets separately.  Don’t forget to take advantage of area promotions and discounts.  The front desk of the hotel has a ton of information on places to see and things to do in the area when you aren’t wondering Disneyland!  Other than being a source of great area information the front desk also has discount information and coupon from local eateries. With all these great ways to save theirs no reason not to make Disney your families next vacation destination!
