Welcome to my next post about saving money for your Disney trip. My first saving for Disney post talked about some of my favorite ways to make extra money for your vacation. Today I want to share how I am pinching pennies as I prepare for our Disney trip.

When we go to Disneyland, my children love wearing costumes and Disney-themed apparel. When you buy on property it can cost a pretty penny! Even off-property, Disney apparel can be expensive. I like to start looking for Disney items about a year in advance. I subscribe to deal blogs, local and national, and like their Facebook pages so that I am alerted to all the great deals as soon as they happen. Here are three of my favorites:

Freebies2Deals 

Money Saving Mom

Utah Sweet Savings

These three sites are fantastic for money saving ideas and deals. They save me time, too, by finding all the best deals for me! For example, I have Disney t-shirts on the list of items I am looking to buy before our big trip. Money Saving Mom posted today about a fabulous deal at The Children’s Place online. The darling shirts below are normally $12.99 and I was able to get them for $6.40 a piece plus 5 percent cash back through ShopAtHome.com. 

Did I mention free shipping? You can get the same deal today! Sign up at ShopAtHome.com and search for Children’s Place. Click through to The Children’s Place web-site and use the code V8KFAY13 to get an additional 20 percent off your order. Order your favorite tees for your little girl and check that off your packing list! Hurry, though, sizes are selling out fast!

I always use cash back programs when I shop online – which is a lot – especially when I can get free shipping. It ranges from 2% to %18 percent cash back, but every little bit helps! My favorite three cash back programs are:

Shop At Home.com

Ebates.com

Swagbucks.com

If you are going to be shopping online – you may as well get getting money back! Whenever I shop online, I quickly check out each of those three sites to see which is giving the most money back.

So happy that I was able to score these darling Disney t-shirts for my daughter today! Check that off my Disney to do list! Be sure to check out my post on how I pack all these cute clothes for my littles for some helpful tips!

What is on your packing list when you go to Disneyland?

My youngest is still to young for Disney, but in a few years when we take him I will remember these tips and stock up on Disney Apparel.
