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.

We love food, especially at Disneyland! I have yet to go to the Cove Bar and get those lobster nachos I’ve been drooling over. There are multiple Instagram accounts chronicling all the amazing food there. But all that great food adds up and you can end up spending a ton of money on food especially with a family. This book gives many options on how to save money on food depending on what’s most important to you. Is saving the most amount of money most important to you?
