The resorts at Walt Disney World are a wonderful place for you and your new spouse to start your lives together.  After with slogans such as “the happiest place on earth” and “where dreams really do come true” how could you go wrong?  But is are the Disney honeymoon packages affordable?  Absolutely!  You just have to know how to take advantage of the incredible deals that a Disney honeymoon can  offer.

First of all you may want to go during the off season.  The top value seasons are January 1 – February 13, August 3 – October 1, and November 30 – December 18.  Most likely you were planning on taking some vacation time off of work for your wedding and honeymoon, so why not plan to make it during one of these times.  You will save hundreds of dollars on hotel rooms and air fare and you may even want to spend that extra money to stay at one of the deluxe resorts.  You will want to avoid the peak season times which are the summer and holidays.  At these times the prices will sky rocket and the crowds will be unbarable. 

One of the best kept secrets for saving money on a Disney honeymoon is to rent Disney vacation club points.  The Disney Vacation Club is a timeshare by Disney.  Some families that own these timeshares, for whatever reason, may not be able to use their points for that year and will sell them at an incredible price.  When using these points you can stay at some of the most incredible villa resorts such as Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, The Beach Club Resort, and the Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas. 

Another great way to save big on your Disney honeymoon is to purchase the meal plan.  I know the sticker shock may make you shy away, but think about how much this meal plan actually saves you.   Through the meal plan you get one quick meal (such as a meal at a fast food restaurant), one snack (such as an ice cream), and one full meal (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) per day.  This works out to be about $30 per day per adult.  These meals can be anywhere in the park or at one of the resorts so you can even use them at your own hotel.
