Do I have any options for ticket upgrades?

Disney gives you a few option to upgrade your trip packages to Disney World:

• Park Hopper – Let’s you visit more than one park on any given day.
• No Expiration – Disney passes are set to expire 14 days after you initially use them. If you buy the No Expiration option, they will never expire! (Until you’ve used them all, of course.)

How do I get around from the airport and around the Disney World Resort?

• This is an easy one. Disney World provides complimentary transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport and around the Disney World Resort.
• Getting to and from your lodging really is a breeze as buses are constantly running.

What’s this I’ve heard about going earlier or staying later at the park?

• Your trip packages to Disney World will include “Extra Magic Hours.” This means that there will be extra hours at certain parks where you can stay and enjoy yourself with smaller crowds.

All of the packages, except for the basic one, include some dining.

When you pick one of these trip packages to Disney, you really can’t go wrong. However, I wouldn’t plan my trip to Disney without help from one of the many guides available. In fact, I know several people who have saved hundreds of dollars on their trips.

There’s one guide in particular that I have used to save money for my family. It comes from an ex-Disney employee who had access to all of the tricks and secrets of Disney World. It’s called the “The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide”.
