How to save THOUSANDS ✨🇬🇧 Orlando Disney World Planning UK

#waltdisneyworld #disneyvlog
- are you planning a Walt Disney world trip? Are you wondering how much it’s going to cost? how much money you’ll need whilst you’re there?
- Are you undecided about whether to stay off site or on site? If you stay on site, value, moderate or deluxe or the villas?
- Then this is the video for you, I’m going to answer all your questions and more!
We recently returned from what can only be called the trip of a lifetime, we had an EPIC 15 nights at Walt Disney world, staying in a variety of rooms/resorts. It wasn’t the first time we’d done Orlando or Disney world but it was our first ever time staying IN the Disney bubble and we loved it! I kept EVERY SINGLE RECEIPT from the entire trip and have input it all to a spreadsheet and am breaking it down bit by bit for you in this video!

Awesome video, this type of content is right up my street! Thanks for sharing!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Yay! I’m so glad to hear that! I loved making it, I’m such a geek 🤣 but it’s lovely to share it with others. Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out! Sam x

[@jessicabell2836]

Fab video, thank you for sharing 😊

[@EverAfterAdventures]

You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for the watching and for commenting 🥰🙏🏻

[@tashaleigh0817]

This video was so helpful! Thank you for being honest and sharing your spreadsheet 😊

[@EverAfterAdventures]

You’re very welcome! I really enjoyed putting it together to be fair 😊 if you’d like a copy then head over to our website and subscribe for emails, it will be sent over to you 👍🏻 thanks so much for watching and chatting! X

[@Caroline2Crazy]

This was a really useful video, especially the tip about virgin flying club! Wish I knew about that before we booked our trip as we're flying with virgin!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Well now you can open a flying club and get all the miles from your upcoming trip and start saving for the next trip 😍 never too late to start collecting airmiles! Thanks so much for tuning in, let me know if you have any questions at all 🙏🏻

[@PrettyLucky]

What a fantastic comprehensive video! Looking forward to checking out the vlogs next!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Thank you! I had so much geeky fun on this one, plus throwing all the receipts in the air was so satisfying 😝 there’s a brand new Disneyland Paris vlog series starting this weekend, then we’re off to Disney World in May so June onwards will be a whole new series too! I’m going to keep all the receipts again and do something similar/different too! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting, Sam x

[@PrettyLucky]

I’m 🤞trying to convince my OH we should be looking at the “free” dining plan deal coming up. Looks like Poly might not be included but I can start pricing it up to make a lesser price look better! 🤣

[@EverAfterAdventures]

@@PrettyLucky absolutely! That or renting a DVC villa through @dvcrental or something similar? See which works out cheaper! Let me know if you win 😂

[@destinationdisney2001]

Good vlog topic Sam; I have done expenses spreadsheets in the past too for each day of the trip, but now just do a summary - Disney trips to Orlando are very expensive these days as apart from hotels and tickets, the flights in school holidays are ridiculously high. Anyway well done ! David 👍🇬🇧🏰🇺🇸😎🌴

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Thanks David! It is expensive isn’t it. Definitely ways to bring costs down but it’s certainly not cheap 😢 hope all is well with you, thanks so much for watching! Sam x

[@johnmyhill9092]

Some excellent tips here! I have taken onboard your tips about Virgin and have been collecting quite a few towards our next trip. I have not added up any receipts from the last few trips and do not want to know 😂

[@EverAfterAdventures]

It’s best not to know for sure 😂 it does make a big difference to the cost, airmiles all the way John! Have you booked yet?!

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Disney is an expensive trip for sure and takes lots of planning ahead of time. I would love to stay two weeks! I loooove staying in the Disney bubble. What a great idea making a spreadsheet with all of the receipts. I wish they still had the free airport transportation. I love staying on sight now. The values are a fun option and give the Disney bubble feel! I’ve never done a park hopper or the water parks before. Awesome and informative video! 😊 thanks for sharing with us - and I love your ears so much! 💕

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Oh thank you! The ears are the Port Orleans Riverside ones, I bought them the night we arrived, they’re so cute aren’t they! Oh it’s just so magical isn’t it, we’re lucky over here that we get good holiday time off, I know it’s harder in the states 😢 thanks so much for watching! I need to catch up with your videos, I love your guys vlogs!

[@MouseArt4Kids]

Very nice overview to visit Disney. No matter how you look at it , it does cost a lot.

[@EverAfterAdventures]

It certainly does 😂 worth every penny, nowhere else quite like it 🥹 thanks so much for watching as always xx

[@ArnieRelffe-Arnold]

Wow! That was so detailed and so interesting. Thanks so much for taking the time to offer such a wonderful presentation. I went to Florida 6 times between 1992 and 2001 (in fact my last trip there was due to be on 9/11 so I had 3 extra days before our flight home!) Maybe it's time to go back and see how things have changed? For the 4 of us I used to budget around 7k for everything. How times change huh! Thanks again x

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Wow that is a difference! Although I’m surprised the difference isn’t more over more than 20 years! Yes definitely time for another trip back 😜 thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment, so glad you enjoyed it! X

[@ArnieRelffe-Arnold]

@@EverAfterAdventures Actually, that is the point I was making. I'm surprised the cost isn't much higher now! Look forward to more our vlogs. Have a nice day x

[@EverAfterAdventures]

@KevinRelffe-Arnold then great minds think alike 😂 that’s mad really, I would have assumed the difference was much greater. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@theshropshirecandleco.2989]

Great video, we’re looking at booking the offer for next year, but it’s still sooo expensive!! Are magic bands compulsory?

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Nope, not compulsory, airmiles will save thousands, from £3k for a family of 4 to £900, it’s a huge saving! Such an expensive holiday isn’t it. Sam x

[@Lisa-Hobby]

We’ve booked our first cruise for next January to the Caribbean, that’s how we found your Channel, watching gallons of videos 😮. The only trouble is now you’ve made us want to go back to Disney 😂, we’ve been four time when both our boys were of age to go on the big rides. Always stayed in villas and drove to the parks, our last trip was 2017. My 2 sons are now 21 and 19 and are gutted we’re thinking of doing a trip on our own to Disney without them 😊.

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Ah I love that! Where are you cruising to? That’s going to come round quickly! Haha, I take full responsible for the Disney temptation 😂 it’s the best isn’t it! Our boys are 5&1 still so long time until we do an adults only romantic Disney trip, but that’s a silver lining to the children growing up I suppose! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

[@Lisa-Hobby]

We’re on P/O brittania

[@EverAfterAdventures]

@user-xx6xh8bg5r oh I love P&O! No wonder you found my vlogs then 😂 I really want to get on Britannia, we do have a P&O Cruise next year but it’s not on Britannia xx

[@Lisa-Hobby]

Lovely!! Look forward to your vlogs ❤

[@EverAfterAdventures]

@@Lisa-Hobby have a fabulous time on Britannia, you’ll have to let me know what you think 😍

[@grintwigplays]

This was a really great presentation!! Very factually accurate as well. I too have stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and adored it! I took my granddaughter this past March and we had a Royal room as well. We go back to Disney World in less than two weeks and will be doing a splitstay between Port Orleans French Quarter and Caribbean Beach. I am absolutely addicted to the Moderate resorts. I feel they are a great value for the money!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Port Orleans Riverside is just lovely isn’t it! I was so surprised by how peaceful and tranquil it was, it’s so different to the parks but still so Disney! It was such a change when we moved from there and checked in at Pop Century! I agree, moderate resorts are great value for money, you get a lot more for not too much more money, that’s my opinion anyway. I was surprised at the price difference in the spreadsheet, I thought it would be a lot more. Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you found it accurate and helpful! X Sam x

[@TheStephensonGrechFamily]

Love the disney holiday planning but trips are expensive did our first disney paris trip in May and that took 2 yeard to save

[@EverAfterAdventures]

It’s very expensive isn’t it. I love Disneyland Paris, but I find price per day so much more expensive than Walt Disney World. But it’s less money overall. It’s an expensive love unfortunately. Thank you for watching, I hope it was useful 🙏🏻

[@Lisa-Hobby]

Loved the video!! Please tell us what you spent on merch??? 😂

[@EverAfterAdventures]

I’ve had loads of messages about this already 😂 maybe I’ll do another video on merch and reveal what we spent 🙈🤣

[@Lisa-Hobby]

😂 I follow another lady who’s mad on merch and doesn’t say what she’s spent but I calculated at least £400 alone on pins 😅

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Oh pins is my addiction too… I have a few loungefly and love my collection but don’t feel the need for anymore. Same with Spirit Jerseys. I wish I could say the same about my Disney pin collections 🤣

[@Lisa-Hobby]

😂😂 that’s be already been told not allowed to get addicted. I have one pin from 2012 that I love. Oh and a couple of bum bags 😉

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Oh that’s very well behaved! It cold all change when you next visit 🤣

[@Sidewinder1009oli]

With regards to air miles, if so feel safe sharing, how much do you spend on the virgin Atlantic credit cards (roughly) p.a.? I was researching this yesterday and we currently spend around 12k on Tesco CC but rarely at Tesco any more (also have an electric car so no petrol on it any more)

[@EverAfterAdventures]

I’ve just had a check on the app and I can’t tell, we put most of our spending on the card though and have always got loads of points. The version that has a £160pa fee does get you significantly more points than the free one!

[@leoniedodemont4657]

Really nice to hear and see the breakdown of the costs. I am a huge fan of spreadsheets as well.... Maybe I have missed it, but on what site did you order your Disney tickets? We have now an offer from a travel agent but are doubting to book ourselves. But a bit scared.... Don't know why. The only big thing is we have to book for 10 and for all the flights you can only book for 9 direct. If more, you have to contact the airline direct. It is so inconvenient!

[@leoniedodemont4657]

Ow and love to see your vlogs as an inspiration for our trip Apr23 and hopefully apr24

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Here you go! They’re all here 🥰 Walt Disney World Vlogs kzbin.info/aero/PLaRWAPKSAKJwAPbCgJgJ0W3vGFcl3fUkJ

[@EverAfterAdventures]

We got the Disney tickets through Walt Disney Travel Company as part of the package when we booked the hotels 👍🏻 I actually booked it all myself as I’m a travel agent too, if you head to our Facebook page you’ll see it all there (I don’t advertise it on my videos or on instagram as they’re kept for my personal adventures 😊) but if you want any help just let me know! ⬇️

[@dannigarner3403]

Which site are you using to look at villas please?

[@EverAfterAdventures]

It was 2019 when we booked a villa last, we used VRBO then but I don’t know if they’re any good now I’m afraid x

[@donnafinlay3068]

Port Orleans Riverside. 🤩

[@EverAfterAdventures]

I love POR! Have you stayed there? The Royal Guest room was amazing, I’d 100% stay there and recommend it 100 times over!

[@babyhols777]

I can’t believe growing up I stayed at yacht club the boardwalk and ak lodge. How did my dad afford that lol we’re not rich. Must’ve got amazing deals and ofc it was 10 years ago so different prices

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Yes a lot has changed hasn’t it. I’m surprised the costs aren’t more now compared to years ago, the price hasn’t changed in the last 20 years as much as I thought it would have! X

[@katherinewitts8671]

Who did you book your car hire through?

[@EverAfterAdventures]

That trip was dollar/thrifty (never again, it was awful! I made a short video about what happened with them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6K1ZqeapqpjldE ) our next trip though we have used Discount Florida Car Hire, so far the experience has been excellent 👍🏻

[@babyhols777]

God we need free dining plan back. Who really has 10-12k to spare and it doesn’t include universal!!!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

That will make such a difference, I wonder if they do ever bring that back? And Magical Express! X

[@babyhols777]

Girl waters always free!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Yes we drink a LOT of water in the parks! Such a good tip!

[@babyhols777]

Must’ve taken forever to make the spreadsheet

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Haha, I did it over 2 evenings whilst I watched TV 😂

[@babyhols777]

Not been since 2015. $108 to just get to disney🙃🙃🙃

[@EverAfterAdventures]

Is that your flight cost? X

[@babyhols777]

@@EverAfterAdventures nooo haha i was quoting you and the buses silly! I wish!

[@EverAfterAdventures]

@@babyhols777 oooohhhh 🤣🤣🤣

[@babyhols777]

Disney just doesn’t want us average folk anymore. They want rich families and then the dedicated disney adults

[@EverAfterAdventures]

It’s a strange mentality isn’t it, I can’t see why that’s all they’d want but it does feel that way. From the UK it’s always been a very expensive trip because of the flights. The exchange rate doesn’t help at the moment either 😢

[@timothyjones3313]

I will tell you just don't go you will save everything. Waste of Time

[@EverAfterAdventures]

I love that answer but I can tell you it will never happen 😂 thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 👍🏻
