• Discounts on theme park tickets are usually reserved for those who are staying at Disney resorts. 

• Food within the parks is expensive, so eat as many meals as possible outside the parks. 

• For those times you'll be eating inside the parks, remember that lunch is always cheaper than dinner, so consider making lunch your big meal of the day. 

• Children's value meals run about $5-$10 at the fast-food places, and about $15 at the sit-down restaurants. 

• While they're expensive, meals in the theme parks are enormous. 

• Buy film, blank videotapes, diapers, sunscreen, and other such items at home before you come. 

• As for souvenirs, except for maybe an autograph book, hold off from major purchases until the last day of your trip. 

• If you move from park to park in your car, save parking receipts and stroller receipts.
