15 Ways To Get Started:
1. Use Target Red Card To Instantly Save 5% off Disney Gift Cards. Best of all they have a Debit Card Options (vs. Credit) for the Target Redcard. Use this to instantly save 5% off your Disney Gift Card purchases. We love Disney Gift Cards since they do not expire, can be used to pay for your Disney Resort, food, merchandise and more, and it assures the money is for Disney and not spent elsewhere.
2. Sign up for Disney Emails, and you may get a Pin Code. A Disney Pin Code is a non-transferable savings offer, sent out by mail or email, and often have select date and Resort restrictions. These can easily save you hundreds of dollars. Learn these tips and tricks to increase your chances of receiving a pin code.
3. Start a Change Jar for Disney. Keep a change jar on the kitchen counter, or wherever you unload for the day. Put all spare change in at the end of each day. Then, roll your change the old fashioned way and add to your Disney fund. For extra magic, decorate your change jar in a Disney theme.
4. Earn with Swagbucks. In the SavEars group we mention Swagbucks often, since many of us use it as a tool to save for Disney. Watch videos, complete offers, answer surveys and more to start earning. Sign up for the FREE 7-Day Swagbucks Course to get started. Then, learn how to turn Swagbucks into Disney money.
5. Plan Ahead. Buy simply planning months ahead or a year ahead you can set up a Payment Plan/Layaway for yourself. The total payment will not be due until 30 days before check-in date, with just a $200 flat rate deposit required to book your Disney World Vacation. Then, simply divide your balance by remaining months to pay and this becomes your monthly “layaway” total.
6. Ask For Disney Gift Cards. Have an upcoming birthday, anniversary, holiday? Let family and friends know you are saving for a Disney vacation and ask for Disney Gift Cards.
7. Sell unwanted items. Not only does getting organized free up space, you can earn money by selling unwanted items! Consider using local Facebook yard sale groups, or online tools such as eBay to turn unwanted items into Disney money.
8. Start Earning with Dabbl. What I love most about Dabbl is they offer Disney gift cards as a reward option! Take surveys, dicover content and more to earn Disney Gift Cards FREE.
9. Redeem your cash back from credit cards. In certain instances, credit cards done right can be a great way to save. See if your cards offer cash back, and take notice of promotional periods are to earn points faster.
10. Buy Disney Gift Cards from Warehouse Clubs. If you live nearby a club warehouse such as Sam’s Club or BJ’s, the membership may be worth it. Select times a year gift card promotions can beat out the savings of Target’s 5% off.
11. Earn with Shopkick. Another favorite app of mine, that also offers Disney Gift cards as the reward, is Shopkick! Earn Shopkicks (points) for walking into select stores, scanning products, buying select products and earn from home under Discover.
12. Use a Travel Agent. A Travel Agent comes at no charge to you, and potential big savings! Since they automatically watch for any discounts that can be applied to your booked Disney vacation.
13. Start a side hustle. In addition to learning app and website earners, consider a side hustle. Are you crafty? Sell your crafts! Other great options include delivery services such as DoorDash.
14. Open a separate bank account, and accumulate interest. Opening a separate account for your Disney fund, such as a high yield savings account, is a great way to keep your money safe while earning interest. Plus, you are less likely to spend it!
15. Buy Disney gift cards as you go. Go over your budget and see how much money per week you can set aside for your Disney fund. Then, each pay cycle consider purchasing a gift card.
Plus, consider the Saving for Disney course outlining how to save for Disney, in much more detail, with printables and more.
