Living a good 2 days drive from Disney means our trip this December, is a one shot deal. Saving for a year for every single little detail: dining plan, hotel, tickets, gas money, and the last thing on our mind right now- souvenirs. Saving for them will always be in the back of your mind when planning to go somewhere like Disney World. The only thing is, you don’t know exactly what you’ll be saving for.
Of course there’s standard Disney novelties you have to have: ears, dole whips, pictures. But as much as merchandise changes, there is no predicting what can be there whenever you’re visiting. Therefore finding ways to stretch your money in the parks is a must for people like me. (I know I’m going to want to buy everything!)
First thing I’ve decided to do, is get some Disney items way before our trip. T-shirts I can wear, coloring books I can use to keep myself busy, books from second hand bookstores, figurines from garage sales; anything that will keep me from urges of buying those things that most likely will be over priced in the parks.
This is going to help me focus on buying souvenirs that are truly meant to help me remember my visit to the parks. And things that taste good. (I’m so looking forward to tasting a dole whip.) I cannot wait for my trip. And all the inexpensive Disney things I’ve gotten over the last few week make me even more excited!
