If you are traveling to Disneyland this summer and really want to do this summer vacation on a budget, you should consider how much you are going to be spending on food at the park. Food is one of the things you will be spending the most on during your vacation and you should spend wisely, otherwise it can put you in the hole. Getting a hotel room with a kitchenette in it will allow you to eat many of your meals away from the park which will help with your budget. If your hotel does not have a kitchen, try eating only 2 meals a day instead of 3 with maybe a snack during the day between meals to pacify your hungry family until dinner time. Eating outside of the park at one of the many surrounding restaurants will also help to keep your budget down.

No trip to Disneyland is complete without a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. If the souvenir shopping stopped right there, you could certainly do your summer vacation on a budget with no problem at all. Unfortunately, if you have been to Disneyland before, you know that idea is not exactly reasonable as Disneyland is one big toy store with clothing, toys and décor that all come with a large price tag. It is important, when working with a tight budget, to maintain good discipline when shopping for souvenirs. Keep a certain amount of cash in an envelope that is reserved specifically for souvenir shopping. Do not exceed that amount or attempt to use a credit card. There are plenty of souvenirs (though small in size) that are under $10 that will remind your kids of the wonderful trip to Disneyland. Besides, your memories of your vacation will be your best souvenir, and that is priceless!

If you can afford a higher priced hotel with a kitchenette, it may pay off in the food portion of your vacation. Disneyland is known for their high priced meals. Even their snacks and ice cream, though delicious, are outrageously expensive. If your hotel room has a small kitchen in it, you can save money by eating breakfast in your room every morning. You can also pack a lunch for the day. Although you will not be able to bring it inside of the park, you can rent a storage locker outside of Disneyland to store a small cooler and have a picnic on the grounds between Disneyland and California Adventure. Although you are trying to manage your summer vacation on a budget, if you are going to splurge on a meal, it should be dinner time at the park. Yes, the food is expensive, but it is tasty and the portions are good. Each “land” in Disneyland has food that matches its theme, so if you are staying for a week or so, you will have the chance to eat dinner at every “land”.
