How to save money at Disney so you don’t go ‘bibbidi-bobbidi-broke.’
Disneyland and Disney World are magical places to visit with your family. But, they’re also tough on the budget with ticket prices approaching $200 a person each day. Here are some ways to save money on your trip so you can create awesome memories at the “happiest place on Earth.” And check out how I saved my buddy Travis almost $1,600 on our Disney trip a few years ago.
Marriott Acquires Mexican Hotel Brand City Express for $100 Million.
As if Marriott didn’t have enough brands in its portfolio. With this acquisition, there are now 31 different Bonvoy brands that you can earn and redeem points. This brand is “affordable midscale,” so hopefully it will be at a good price point for both cash and points reservations. Its hotels are located in Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Chile, and I’m sure that it will continue to expand with investment from Marriott.
Airports in New York City Can No Longer Overcharge Travelers for Food and Drinks.
LaGuardia restaurants were charging up to $27 for a single beer. That’s highway robbery. I’m glad they complained because traveling with your family is expensive enough without being overcharged for mediocre airport food.
Pack small or pay up: Frontier is cracking down on carry-on baggage.
It seems like Frontier is cracking down on travelers in a bit of misplaced anger after losing out on acquiring Spirit Airlines. Sadly, LCC airlines offer low fares upfront, but then hit you with additional fees if you don’t follow every single rule. It’s a great deal for people who can do it, but flights can be more expensive than flying a traditional airline for those who aren’t paying attention. If you have elite status or purchase The Works, you can avoid some of these pesky fees.
Surfing-themed coaster coming to SeaWorld Orlando.
Theme parks are getting more creative and adventurous with their rides to differentiate themselves and attract more guests. I think that this surfing-themed ride will be really cool. If you’re a Sea World season pass holder, you’ll get the first chance to ride three new rides coming to Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio.
