The holiday season and American Thanksgiving week should be avoided. In general, the price of admission ranges between US$100 and US$135 per day and around US$370 for a four-day pass. You can save about $20 per three- to four-day pass by buying them at a Walmart near Disney. The CAA also sometimes offers attractive prices for the purchase of ski passes.

Memories
Your kids will probably be begging you to buy souvenirs at Disney! For maximum savings, head to Disney's Character Warehouse. You can sometimes find discounts of 50-90% on certain souvenirs. Two such discount stores are at the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet and the Orlando International Premium Outlet.
