Saving Money at Disneyland
Here are some tips for saving money at Disneyland share by ThriftyFun readers.
Things to Bring
- Bring water & snacks with you. They are very expensive on the premises ($2.50 for a 12 ounce water bottle the last time I was there).
- Don't go hungry. Fill up first.
- Buy 3 day passes, they are a lot cheaper.
- Bring bandaids, aspirin, tissues, all that stuff. It is very expensive there too.
- Bring film & cameras from home.
- Bring hats & sunglasses.
- Don't bring a purse. Wear a fanny pack (will not save you money, but you'll be glad you did).

Pack a Lunch
We packed a lunch and left it in the car. Then we went back for it and went to a close park to eat it. It gave everyone a break and we could decide what we wanted to see in the afternoon. Re-entry is free, make sure your hands are stamped.By Har'iet
Stroller, Hats and Sunscreen
I agree. Pack a lunch and snacks and at least one bottle of water per person. During the summer months bring your own squirt bottle with attached fan. There's not a whole lot of shade as you walk through the park.If you need a stroller bring one from home. It cost $15 to rent one there and more for a double stroller plus there is not a basket underneath. There is just a net pouch on the back to hold all your stuff.
Bring hats and sunscreen. Then if your kids like to play in the water bring extra clothes or a bathing suit. There are little fountains they get to play in to cool off.

Restaurants
I live next door to Disneyland. Our windows rattle with the fireworks. Bring snacks for the kids and bottled drinks, but they must be in plastic and be held on your person. They will inspect your backpacks, purses and such. This is since 9/11.If you want a restaurant, travel at least 1 mile from the park. The ones around the park are more expensive. I believe they allow you to drive back in as long as you keep your parking ticket.
If you pack a lunch, you can picnic at a nearby park within walking distance. Bring all you need in the way of sweaters or coats (depending on the time of year). We get very chilly at night.

Fanny Pack!
My kids always make fun of me for wearing a fanny-pack but at the end of the day, I have THEIR phones and THEIR stuff in my fanny pack. They're not making fun of me then.By Sharon
