Icon3 My Plans for Saving Money with a kid at WDW

DD will be a few weeks shy of being 2 years old when we go to WDW. She's a fantastic kid, but I've been planning ways to 1.) Keep her happy on the plane and 2.) Keep her from spending lots of our money, haha.

So here is what I have done so far:
  1. Bought a small Disney Princess backpack at Walmart - $12
  2. Bought a stuffed Belle doll at Disney Store - on sale for $4
  3. Bought a Winnie the Pooh safari stuffed animal -on sale for $4
So all total there, I have $20.

I plan on giving her the bag either the night before so she can pack some things in it, or packing it myself and giving it to her on the plane. It would be packed with snacks and Disney goodies.

I also plan on buying any little Disney themed books and other items that I can find at the Dollar Tree (trust me they have TONS! some of them are for ages 3+ though so I will skip those of course). I also plan to buy some glow sticks/glow bracelets from there to break out during our trip.

I've also bought lots of Disney themed summer clothes (in 24M and 2T sizes) from summer clearances this year that she can wear on the trip next year. Some of them were $5 and under!


I just wanted to share my techniques so maybe it can help someone else out!

Happiness is having a Disney trip planned. oh yeah, and having the family to go with you. Correction: I now know that the family is optional.
