I love helping you all save as much money as possible and learn as much as you can about Disney. I get asked a lot of questions in the comments, on Facebook and via email and sometimes, try as I might, I miss your questions and I hate that.
So I am inviting you to post any question you have about Couponing, Disney or anything else on this post. I will post the answers next Saturday.
Answers from Saturday, April 21st:
If you aren’t attending the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, which park is the best to visit on Halloween, Oct 31st.? Why?
I don’t know that any of the other parks offer trick or treating or anything of that nature. Does anyone know?
Would we save money if we bought tickets from Undercover Tourist, used them once, then upgraded to an annual pass? Or directly buying annual passes?
Honestly, I don’t know for sure which way would be cheaper. I know that Undercover Tourist tickets are a bit cheaper than Disney, so you might be on to something.
We are planning on going March 2013, we went the week after thanksgiving last year, are the crowds about the same?
It depends when you go in March. Spring Break crowds start around mid March and it is more crowded than the week after Thanksgiving.
My boyfriend and I (19 and 23) are really wanting to go to WDW for our birthday in august we have a huge jar of coins saving up (the jar is a Coke bottle that goes up to my mid-thigh!) plus we expect to get money from our parents and grandparents for our birthday. My question for you is when is the absolute last day to purchase your tickets and hotel?
The day you arrive. :) Theoretically, you could go to Disney World without having a resort reservation and hope to get it once you arrive. You do not have ot buy tickets until you are at the parks.
If you are booking a package, you must have it booked in full 45 days before you arrive. With room only, you must have paid for one night in full before you arrive.
I heard a rumor that if it is your birthday with valid id you get in to Disney World for free? Is this true?
Unfortunately no. It was the promotion in 2009.
Feel free to ask more questions and I will answer them next week!

I was wondering.. My Brother in law is in the military. I know they get special discounts but could he book a stay for family and not go himself? or does he have to be present?
Kristen says
Hi! I went to Disney world last may and stayed at the military resort, Shades of Green. I would assume he would have to be present because they do ask for a military ID
Kristen says
Although I will say I was in no way related to the person in the military. We were able to get two rooms right next to each other, and no one in our room was in the military

Kristin, thanks for all that you do to share tips and tricks! We stayed at Pop Century in March of 2011 – in part because of your recommendations, which were spot on! :-) The only issue we had was in trying to take rest time in the middle of the day, riding the bus back and forth to MK seemed to “eat” a lot of our time. As much as I’d LOVE to stay on the Monorail, I can’t afford to spend Deluxe prices, and besides, we loved Pop! We are planning to go back in November and our kids will be 6 and 8, so may still need some rest time depending on the day’s activities and weather. How do you manage your time so that you’re maximizing your visit? Do you avoid mid-day breaks?

I know this blog has got to be like a job at times… Would you say it’s like a full time job or a part time job? I’m thankful for all of your hard work and am just kind of wondering how many hours a day you “work” on the blog.
