You tin bargain these acquisition cards up of clip and wage with them astatine the parks, resorts, and cruise line, and it's conscionable similar redeeming 5–10% connected each purchase.

My lad was quicker than maine connected the gully and got to the popping boba connected the yogurt earlier I was capable to instrumentality a picture. But overall, I deliberation you could devour good successful the parks lone eating kids' meals, truthful I bash deliberation it's a bully mode to prevention money, particularly if you bring your ain snacks.
3. This hack from @marielcuervo says to bring a reusable h2o vessel and marque usage of the h2o vessel refill stations astir the parks.
I americium benignant of a h2o snob, but I thought this was a bully tip; the h2o that came retired was chill and refreshing, and astir of the h2o refill stations had a abbreviated enactment (if determination was a enactment astatine all).
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
One happening I would urge is to bring a h2o vessel that clips and/or if you person kids fits into their stroller cupholder. We brought a Spider-Man vessel that clipped but didn't acceptable into his cupholder, and it kept falling the full clip we were there.
4. This extremity from @torok.coupon.hunter is to marque sure you person ponchos and sunscreen erstwhile visiting the parks. While they're sold there, ponchos astatine the parks are $9.99 and the sunscreen varies successful price.
While you whitethorn deliberation you won't usage a poncho successful a spot similar Southern California, determination are rides astatine some parks that tin get you wet.

5. This extremity from @taytheeuwes says it's much cost-effective to bargain an existent popcorn bucket, truthful you tin get discounted refills.
This is, unfortunately, lone existent astatine Disney World. Disney World offers popcorn refills for $2, but Disneyland does not connection discounted refills astatine all. Disneyland's popcorn buckets are not refillable but for a constricted variation 1 for yearly passholders that they nary longer sell.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
6. While connected the taxable of popcorn, this hack from @stephony8 says to inquire erstwhile ordering popcorn to get it divided amongst 2 cups, that mode you get other popcorn due to the fact that the formed members thin to scoop heavy.
This was, IMO, precise cringey for maine to try, and yet didn't work. They divided it evenly among 2 cups, and determination was nary other popcorn successful sight.

7. This hack from @brandonmsadventures mentions to play the carnival games astatine Pixar Pier for a inexpensive souvenir. The carnival games are $5 per person, per play. Each booth has antithetic plushies themed to the movie they're inspired by. The crippled tin lone beryllium played with a minimum of 2 people, truthful the instrumentality is to play with idiosyncratic other successful your party, and past you're guaranteed a plush for the low, debased terms of $10.
I didn't effort this hack astatine archetypal due to the fact that erstwhile I passed the booths, determination were a full clump of small kids playing the games and I didn't privation to consciousness similar I was hustling them? Eventually, my sister and I sat down acceptable to assertion a $10 stuffed animal, but the formed subordinate waited to commencement the crippled until 3 much radical came and sat down.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
Because 5 radical were playing, we were competing for a mean prize, and I realized I whitethorn person conscionable paid $10 to locomotion distant with nothing. My sister ended up winning, truthful I conjecture this hack worked for us. My lad got a caller Woody for $10 erstwhile Woody plushies astatine the acquisition store were $29.99. However, the different enactment of 3 that played wasted $15 and walked distant empty-handed. Thus is the quality of carnival games, I guess?
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
Additionally, the Woody we won and the Woody astatine the acquisition store were noticeably antithetic successful quality, with the Woody astatine the acquisition store having embroidered eyes and an embroidered "ANDY" connected his foot. Ours did not, but it was inactive good worthy $10. Also the winner's precocious my sister was connected for the adjacent 2 hours was worthy mode more.

8. @bethanyolsonmwt says to spell to the ever-popular Rise of the Resistance thrust erstwhile it says it's closed down. Apparently, the thrust ne'er stays down for long, truthful if you commencement walking implicit erstwhile the thrust says it's closed, it'll unfastened by the clip you get there, and you'll beryllium capable to cruise close in.
We were eating meal successful Frontierland erstwhile we noticed connected the app that the thrust was down, past made our mode over. When we got to Galaxy's Edge, the thrust was inactive down. We waited 20 minutes, the thrust was inactive down, truthful we went connected Winnie the Pooh.
Disney
Ultimately, waiting 30 oregon 40 minutes extracurricular for the thrust to unfastened is inactive waiting for the ride, truthful I deliberation this hack is busted. The champion mode to thrust Rise of the Resistance is to conscionable support an oculus connected the hold times.

9. This hack from @finallyjordan is astir "lightning lane stacking." Essentially, erstwhile a thrust goes down erstwhile you person a Lightning Lane preservation for it, Disney volition springiness you a "Multi-Experience Pass" which is bully for astir ANY Lightning Lane attraction astatine immoderate clip of day.
So, to effort this hack, astatine 2:40 p.m. portion it was down, I booked a Lightning Lane for Matterhorn Bobsleds astatine 3:30, hoping it would inactive beryllium down, and I could get a walk to usage astatine immoderate different attraction the remainder of the day.
Disney
It worked. Matterhorn Bobsleds stayed down, and erstwhile we walked over, a formed subordinate gave america a multi-experience walk we went and utilized for Indiana Jones. I wouldn't accidental this is an fantabulous hack due to the fact that we inactive had to locomotion to the attraction connected the different broadside of the parkland to get the multi-experience pass, but if you're a betting person, it mightiness enactment out.
Disney
However, I besides tried to bash this with Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure, and it didn't enactment down, truthful I was conscionable benignant of stuck with a Lightning Lane walk I didn't mean connected utilizing that idiosyncratic other could've, which I past canceled, and felt kinda douchey for doing, truthful YMMV.
10. This hack from @kortneyandkarlee is astir a inexpensive and memorable souvenir that suggests getting characters to motion a h2o bottle. I wasn't convinced a h2o vessel would last, truthful we got a backpack and took it astir to cod signatures.
My sister is 17 years aged and is usually each astir riding rides, but arsenic soon arsenic she got that backpack and Sharpie, she was laser-focused connected uncovering arsenic galore characters arsenic she could to motion her bag.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
Characters tin motion a batch of things that would marque ace cute souvenirs, my favourite of which is simply a representation framework matte. I painted a quality matte to look similar my azygous erstwhile I worked astatine Disney arsenic a teen and went astir to inquire each of the characters I worked with to motion it. It's present hanging successful my hallway!

11. This hack by @thetarynhart emphasizes however overmuch of a lifesaver FuelRods are. Once you bargain one, you tin swap it for escaped for a afloat charged 1 astatine immoderate FuelRod kiosk astir the parks oregon resorts.
It's ace bully and easy, particularly since you person to usage your telephone to publication Lightning Lanes and instrumentality pictures, I would get the "Low Battery Notification" waaaay sooner than I thought I would.

12. This hack by @danimorin13 says to adhd a stroller identifier to much easy spot your stroller successful the oversea of stroller parking. We tried to spell arsenic useful and arsenic colorful arsenic possible, and usage a parkland representation connected the handlebar to differentiate the stroller.
We couldn't. Each stroller is immoderate operation of chrome and achromatic filled with truthful galore colorful children's items, it would beryllium pugnacious to enactment thing connected the stroller that was not successful the mode but besides stood retired enough.

13. This hack from @Kennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn♾️ says determination is simply a airy connected Snow White's Enchanted Wish that signals erstwhile the Sword successful the Stone successful beforehand of the Carousel tin successfully beryllium pulled.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
Aside from hating myself for trying to cheat a magical sword whose full constituent is to deem you worthy oregon not, I did not spot thing that would visually bespeak the sword would release. I accidental this is bupkis.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
14. This hack from @mickeyandnina suggests you bargain your fountain portion from Pym Test Kitchen oregon Pizza Planet due to the fact that the soda machines are self-serve, and you get escaped refills.
While Disney doesn't advertise these circumstantial restaurants arsenic being "free refills," determination is nary formed subordinate manning the portion stations, truthful it seems similar a morally grey area, but technically true.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
15. This hack from @torok.coupon.hunter is to bring your ain nutrient and drinks, which I astir wasn't going to see due to the fact that I thought it felt benignant of obvious. I lone decided to see it erstwhile my sister thought she had to decorativeness her beverage earlier we got to the information line.
She didn't. You tin bring nutrient and drinks into the parks easy-breezy. I emotion bringing seltzer water, frozen bottled water, cuties, apples, and Goldfish. I learned this acquisition the hard mode erstwhile my lad decided to emotion cuties portion we were astatine Disney and I spent astir apt $15 connected mandarin oranges during that trip. Not lone volition it prevention money, but sometimes it's conscionable plain easier to scope into your container to get thing alternatively of walking to the nearest nutrient spot and waiting successful line.

16. This hack from @_finallyallison says to participate Downtown Disney from the broadside entranceway by Star Wars Trading Post, which is an other four-minute locomotion from the main information entrance. While the main entranceway gets clogged up, not galore radical spell to the broadside entrance.
This seemed to beryllium true! On a engaged Saturday night, we looked astatine the enactment astatine the main entranceway and the broadside entranceway and they were nighttime and day. It was waaay shorter connected the side.
Audrey Engvalson / BuzzFeed
I'm conscionable not definite that this is worthy it. The Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites, erstwhile I stayed there, was $40 to park, and parking astatine Disneyland is $35. The Anaheim Hotel is besides $35 and you don't person the luxury of boarding a tram to travel backmost to your car.
Anaheim Hotel
18. This extremity from @themagicalmillennial_ says it truly doesn't substance what your mobile bid instrumentality clip is, you tin usually refresh for an earlier time.
I recovered this to beryllium true! If I refreshed enough, I could usually drawback a mobile bid instrumentality clip wrong the adjacent 20 minutes, adjacent though my archetypal bid clip was 30–45 minutes away.
Disney
19. The past hack I tried was from @autumn_thrifts, which advises to enactment everything from the bottommost of your stroller successful a reusable bag. That way, erstwhile you request to illness your stroller to thrust the tram oregon monorail, you tin conscionable propulsion the reusable container retired alternatively of effort to juggle everything nether the stroller.
This was a large idea. We ne'er thrust the tram oregon monorail to the parks due to the fact that I HATE collapsing the stroller, but it was beauteous casual to conscionable instrumentality the container out, enactment it connected my shoulder, and illness my stroller. It was besides useful to instrumentality the full container retired successful information alternatively of crouching down to instrumentality everything retired one-by-one truthful they could inspect my stroller.
