Order food to your hotel
One of the things guests spend most of their money on at Disney World is food, but there are ways around that.
Kari revealed that delivery services will actually bring food from supermarkets to the hotels, meaning guests can prepare their own lunches from their rooms.
She explained that "all Disney resort hotels have a small fridge" so guests can get food ordered and not worry about it going off.

Buy discounted gift cards

Kari said: "You can purchase discounted Disney gift cards in bulk at stores such as Target, Sam's Club, and BJ's.
"On our last trip, we saved over $300 (£266) just by buying discounted Disney gift cards."
