"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years, but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family over $300.00! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD "Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though, is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004. NEVER overpay again! "John, I just wanted to thank you for all of your helpful tips on your Affordable Disney website. As you state throughout your website, Beth [your travel agent] is wonderfully helpful. She has us booked for 8 days over Thanksgiving. Below are the savings we got by utilizing Beth. Originally we had booked our vacation and in the meantime Beth was watching the promotions for us. When one became available she jumped on it for us. We changed our reservation from All Star Movies to All Star Sports, but saved over $452 per room by doing so. This is the first time our families are going as a grand gathering. We are really looking forward to the wonderful memories we'll share as an extended family. Thanks to all of you." Stacie S., Flower Mound, TX - Lifetime Member since 2005. Parties Disney's Website Estimate Original Booked Price Beth's Deal Savings from Beth's Deal Savings from Beth vs Disney's site 2 adults 1 (11) $1,831.49 $1,690.85 $1,238.69 $452.16 $592.80 2 adults 1 (13) 1 (9) + dining $3,133.24 $2,945.72 $2,493.56 $452.16 $639.68 2 adults 2 (17)+ dining $3,391.32 $3,203.80 $2,751.64 $452.16 $639.68 * * * * $1,356.48 $1,872.16

How Beth, our travel agent, saved a family $3,000: "I figured out a LONG time ago that just because Disney's promotional offers state that certain dates or resorts are excluded doesn't mean that they really are. For the current deal, the dates of April 5-18 are specifically not included. But today I got every single one of them changed over to the deal. Every one! In one case, a family with two rooms saved about $3,000!"

Comments from members: "Hi John - We utilized your service 4 years ago for a wonderful trip we had to Walt Disney World.

Is there anyway that I can get my logins reset? Thank you soooo much! My family has saved a fortune from things we learned on your site!! I am anxious to brush up on my 'mouse-savings.'"

Fran "I have been looking on the Disney Website and have researched some prices. My first attempt was with a package deal which totaled $2935. After reviewing some of your tips, I changed to a Sunday arrival and looked up pricing separately. The hotel came in at $1553 and the tickets (5-day pass w/park hopper) at $968. See, you've saved me $300 already!" Ann We have 13 pages of testimonials on file! Click here to read more.

Say About Affordable Disney!

"I just returned from WDW. I was there 5 days/4 nights. I paid $616 for the whole trip including American Airlines non-stop business class ($220 RT) and Port Orleans French Quarter @$99/night. This trip would have cost me $1,867 if the reservations were made through Mouse Reservations. Giant Mickey Mouse Ears tipped to Beth for her invaluable personalized service and attention to detail. To date, with the airlines tip alone, I have saved almost $5,000 since joining Affordable Disney. Eyes and Ears to You and Donna." Dr. James L Heatherley, Ferris, TX

"I am soooo happy that I ordered your book - what a lot of great information! I figure that tip alone you gave me saved me over $2,300CAD in 1 week!"

Moira Davis, Saskatchewan, Canada

"We just got back from a great trip ... and thanks to you and your great advice, saved money and time! ... In total we saved about $3,000 for our group of 6. We are going back within a year to use our passes again, and think our per person cost will be in the $150-200 range, flights and all."

Michael Barrett, Wisconsin Rapids, WI

"I saved over $4,000 on our first trip to Florida. My wife and our four children enjoyed our best vacation to date. We have informed other Texans concerning the benefits received from your book. Thank you!"

Rick Rodgers, Hamlin, TX

"I have been using your book faithfully to plan our WDW vacation in June. It has been worth its weight in gold! Using the special codes you provided have saved us a lot of money. In fact, when placing my reservation, the WDW employee said she could not get as good as deal as I did even with her employee discount!"

Nicki Embly, Barberton, OH

"I just wanted to tell you how very happy I was to be able to discover your site and had the brillance of thought to join it. I love the easy to read tips and news that you provide and it has all been very helpful in the planning process of this trip. I also took some codes that you sent out and phoned Disney back to see if they would work for my reservation and guess what? I saved $550 US because of your information on my trip in December. That is about 25% of the package price for my husband and me. I hope you add this to your testimonials as your site is worth every single penny. Keep up the amazing work." Mary Rose Lennox, Alberta, Canada
