Ways To Keep Mickey's Damn Dirty Hands Off Your Wallet At Disney World

Writing in the USA Weekend Sunday newspaper supplement, travel columnist Everett Potter provides some tips on how to save money on a vacation to Disney World.

Usually budget vacationers wouldn’t dream of staying at a Disney World hotel, but Potter says Disney, presumably hurting from the down economy, has lowered nightly rates at some of its more ghetto nearby hotels to $68. Potter also advises against renting a car if you’re only there to peruse Disney World, since Disney offers free bus, water taxi and shuttles to and from its hotels.

He left one important tip out: ask for lower prices when you’re booking the trip.
