Hey Travel Fam 👋
You know that magical feeling walking down Main Street at Disney — music, lights, popcorn, and that castle shining under the sun ☀️
But… Disney magic comes with a price.
Flights, hotels, park tickets, food, souvenirs — it adds up fast. 😅
The good news?
You can cut your costs without cutting the fun by using travel points, miles, and a few smart hacks.
Today, I’ll show you how to make your Disney dream trip affordable — maybe even luxurious-for-less. 💫
✈️ 1. Save on Flights — Fly Smart, Pay Less
Disney World = Orlando (MCO) ✈️
Disneyland = John Wayne (SNA) / Long Beach (LGB) / LAX
👉 Use points from Chase, Amex, Capital One, or Citi to book free or discounted flights.
🛫 Best Airlines with great reward programs:
🔥 Bonus Hack:
If you’ve got the Southwest Companion Pass, one person flies free.
✅ Pro Tip: Use Google Flights to track low-fare dates & redeem miles early.
🏨 2. Hotels — Where Points Make Magic Happen
On-property (inside Disney area):
🏰 Stay at:
All are Marriott Bonvoy hotels — book with Marriott Points.
Off-property (budget-friendly but close):
✨ Use your Hilton Honors, Hyatt, or IHG One Rewards to book.
✅ Tip: Choose hotels that offer free park shuttles & breakfast to maximize savings.
🎟️3. Tickets & Food — Save Where It Hurts Most
🎟️ Disney Tickets:
Skip the direct Disney site (they don’t code as travel).
Buy instead from:
Then pay using a Capital One Venture X or Chase Sapphire Preferred card and redeem your miles to erase the cost.
🍽️ Dining:
Earn massive rewards with:
Amex Gold Card → 4x points on dining
Chase Sapphire Preferred → 3x points on restaurants
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival = best time to maximize dining points. 🍷
