These DVC vacation rentals are vacations booked by DVC owners, and all are offered at unbelievable discounts compared to retail (rack) rates.

But there are <em>many<\/em> more ways to save cash on your Magic Kingdom vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make Meals in Your Suite:<\/strong> If your accommodations have a kitchen, skip the pricey food within the parks and eat in. You can even get groceries delivered via such services as UberEats and InstaCart.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Take Advantage of Free Stuff:<\/strong> Many resorts have an array of fun and free activities, including movie nights under the stars, sports facilities, and interesting tours. There are also plenty of free things to do in Orlando<\/li><li><strong>Buy Discount Cards Beforehand:<\/strong> At your local Sam\u2019s Club, Costco, or Target, you can pick up discount cards that will save you money on food and souvenirs at Disney World.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Plan Ahead for Maximum Fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney World rewards those who plan ahead \u2014 especially now, with COVID-19 protocols changing the way that you may have experienced the attraction in years past. For updated regulations, <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/experience-updates\/#drawer-card-faceCoverings\">visit this page<\/a>. Remember that a <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/experience-updates\/park-reservations\/\">park reservation<\/a> must be made for each day of entry. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will still be required to make a park reservation for each date of your visit. You should go ahead and make your park reservations as soon as you purchase your tickets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, maximize your time and you\u2019ll maximize your fun. And there\u2019s an app for that!

But don\u2019t miss out on the other great experiences you can have while on vacation in Orlando. Get away from the crowds in the pristine natural wonderland that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridastateparks.org\/parks-and-trails\/blue-spring-state-park\">Blue Springs State Park<\/a>, where you\u2019ll have the chance to encounter manatees, eagles, and ospreys.
