Disneyland On Any Budget




This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience.   Please read my disclosure here. Thank you for your support!

As you know, Disneyland can be expensive.  But something about that magical place has us opening up our wallets and throwing money to the mouse.  We go regardless of the dent it does to our bank account but it doesn’t hurt to try to put a few of those dollars back in. Between Meghan and I, I thought we knew everything there was to know about Disneyland freebies and how to make the best of your trip.  You can check out our Disneyland Freebies post here and Money Saving Souvenirs here. We are pleased to tell you there is actually more tips and tricks out there to help you enjoy the magic of Disneyland without breaking the budget.  Our friend Jessica over at The Happiest Blog on Earth is a true expert on Disneyland. So much so that she wrote an eBook on how to save money at Disneyland.

Also, if you book through Get Away Today you can get a $10 discount by mentioning Jolly and Happy.  I know that doesn’t sound like much but Disney doesn’t do discounts on tickets.  Just think of it as a free $10. Get Away Today is great because they know everything Disney and can help you plan the very vacation you need and want without extra fees.

12 Things You Didn’t Know About Disney On Ice





Two years ago we got invited to go to Disney On Ice with a bunch of friends.  My daughter was 7 and I knew she would love going.  Here was the problem: we didn’t have a lot of money at the time. Not wanting to miss out on a special opportunity to spend time with my girl, we scrapped up just enough to go. While we were there, she saw the snow cones and really really wanted one.  I HAD to tell her no. And as stupid as it was, I really wanted to be able to get her that snow cone. When it was over she said, “You know what would be perfect?” I said, “What?” “A Frozen one….You know, Disney on ICE!”  I said, “That would be perfect and when they do we will go!”

7 Cheap Disneyland Souvenirs
Buying souvenirs in Disneyland can get expensive! Not only are you paying an arm and a leg to get there, stay there and eat there, but your kids will probably beg for all the awesome stuff being displayed at every corner. And if you are a Disney geek like us you’ll wanna be decked out in head-to-toe Disney gear.

We made a list of souvenirs you can buy before your trip that will still make your kids feel special and won’t break the bank.

We also did a post on getting freebies at Disneyland here.

DIY Height Chart

Okay I might have tried to lure you here with my cute baby! haha
No but really, the other day I was freaking out because I’m going to have a teenager this year. Wait a second, how did this happen? I always wanted a height chart to keep those memories of their growth and now I’m here with an almost teenager! Eeek! I thought, whoa, I gotta get one before the kid starts shooting up-because that hasn’t happened yet.

Dollar Store Wreath Challenge: Valentine’s Day Edition

 

I needed a Valentine’s Wreath.  Yes, needed. So I decided to challenge myself and try to make a Dollar Store wreath. We’ve seen it done before, I could do it-right? Well turns out my Dollar Store has a whole lot of nothing!! I did manage to grab a few things. I also hit up the Target Dollar Spot for a few more things.  The mission: to make it cheap!
