What to do before saving money to go to Disney?

Before you even start saving money to go to Disney this year, you need to do two things.

The first one is to sit down with a paper and a pen and do the math. It's not very cool, it's not very fun, but it's necessary.

What you should do is this: research different Disney travel scenarios and calculate the cost of these itineraries.

For example, how much would it cost to stay 7 days in one of Disney resorts, with tickets to go to the parks every day?

Then you calculate the rates at different resorts, the price of tickets, food and other expenses.

Then, you think of another scenario: ok, how much would it cost to stay 7 days in an Orlando hotel and go every day to Disney parks? Calculate the hotel, transport, food, tickets and so on.

Set up several possible scenarios to see which is the most interesting, which ones are possible within your reality and which ones you would like to do.

The second thing you need to do is organize your savings to ensure that you can save at least a little bit each month for your travels.

I know this isn't easy (or possible) for anyone, but I'll give you some tips below on how to cut costs.

How to cut spending to raise money for travel

Come on: is it easy to save money to go to Disney?

Not.

Can you find some space to cut your home budget and save?

Perhaps.

Start with a survey of all your expenses and note how much money you spend every month on superfluous items, such as movies, video games, restaurants, makeup. Anything you can cut out of your life without a lasting impact.

After listing, we have to look for a free or cheaper alternative for each of them. Instead of going to the movies every week, for example, how about subscribing to Netflix? For the price of a ticket, you get movies all month long.

How about skipping that outing to a restaurant and making a special dinner at home? It's much cheaper, right?

Enjoy and search Google for information about the cultural circuit and activities in your city.

You will surely find that there are plays, tours and many other free (or nearly so) things happening around you that will allow you to have a great time and without breaking the bank.

After cutting down on the superfluous, it's time to see if it's possible to save on essential expenses. I do not propose to cut anything, but try to find cheaper options for your day to day. Want to see how?

When you go to the supermarket to buy meat, for example, do you choose a tray from the butcher's freezer?

If so, chances are you're paying more than you should for those steaks. That's because the meat that goes to the tray has a higher price, per kilo, than that provided by the butcher's attendants.

Also, if you buy a piece and cut it at home, you pay even less per kilo (and save a lot more!). It's not just meat that this happens: if you buy fruits, breads, vegetables on the tray, you pay more than a single item.

This is because most markets include the work of employees to prepare them in the price of these products. The same goes for juices, snacks and other things made by the establishment itself.

I myself know stories of people who used to pay real R$8 on a tray of 5 steaks while in the butcher shop the same amount of steaks was R$4.

So, research well and you will see that it is possible to save a lot on your monthly purchase.

How to save money to go to Disney

Good, but so what? After all this, how to get money to go to Disney? This is what we will see in the next 4 tips. Keep reading!

Calculate how much you need to add

As we said at the beginning of this post, the first step is to know how much you will need to put together in this whole game. You may have already done this back in the day, when we talked about what to do before you even started saving. So, here is the time to decide what your trip will be like.

Will it be 7 days? 10? 15? You will stay in one of Disney hotels or in some option in Orlando? Do you go to all the parks? Only one? Two? Are you going to shop with discount coupons at outlets or not?

Define all this and put the values on the tip of the pencil.

Find out how much you can save

With your amount set, it's time to see how much you can save each month after following all the tips we've seen before: looking for cheap alternatives for superfluous spending, saving on grocery shopping and everything in between.

How much was saved? R$ 50? R$ 100? R$ 500? Obviously, the more the better, but we can work with as much as possible.

The next step after that is obvious: divide the amount you will need to pay by the amount you can save.

For example, imagine that your trip will cost R$ 8,000 and you are able to save R$ 700 per month. So, in 11 months you have everything you need.

But that's where a super trick comes in: you don't have to pay for everything at once. For example, you can split the plane ticket and pay it even after you have returned.

Some hotels also accept installment payments. So your R$ 8000 can drop to R$ 5000, R$ 4000 and, suddenly, your trip is much closer.

If it's still not possible, move on to the next tip.

Look for other sources of income

Okay, what are our options here? How can you earn more money to fulfill your Disney dream?

If you have some very useful skills, maybe you can take up some freelance jobs like designer, video editor, model, photographer, Uber. Any job of these already gives a boost to your savings for the trip.

There are online sites for freelancers that can bring you a good source like:

Another option is to sell clothes, books, games and other objects that you no longer use. It might not make a lot of money, but it helps with a cheap dinner or lunch at Disney. And good site options for this are:

Invest your money to earn more

If you have a little more time to wait, a cool way to get the money to go to Disney is to invest your money.

For example, imagine that this year you managed to collect R$ 3,500.

In a relatively conservative application, which yields 12.5% per year, this amount would turn into R$ 5,000 in about 2 years.

For those who have no problems waiting, it would be a less demanding period to gather the necessary amount to travel.

Invest with caution

I needed to update this post with some information here regarding investments.

I've seen a lot of investment “consultants” and “experts” out there.

They sell day trading courses among other schemes that will make you “rich” in no time.

The first thing I have to tell you is, schemes like this don't work and you're going to lose more money than you earn for EVERYTHING.

To make good investments you need study, patience and especially knowing how to make decisions at the right time.

I've been an investor for years, I've been wrong and I've been right. I learned a lot from my mistakes and I keep investing and evolving, avoid committing the money that you will need in the short term.
