The Most Miserly Mom is not only miserly with her money - she is also miserly with her time. Most families are the same way, right? No one wants to wait in line too long with their impatient (but happy) children? Well, here is one tip for Islands of Adventure that the Most Miserly Mom must share with you.
When you hit the park running at opening time (9:00am) head towards Dueling Dragons instead of The Hulk if you are ready for a morning adrenaline rush. The Hulk’s lines immediately begin, and by the time you arrive may have a 30 minute wait. Dueling Dragons, on the other hand, will most likely have a 5 minute wait! So, grab your teens and get ready to flip, flop, and roll on an awesome coaster.
The Most Miserly Mom definitely recommends this one!

The Most Miserly Mom is not pleased that Disney World is raising their ticket prices!
The one day/one park pass has increased from $67 to $71. Yikes! If you purchase multi-day passes you save money, but that is still a lot to pay for a one day trip to the parks!
Luckily my book has tons of ways for you to save money on tickets to the theme parks as well as ways to save money on food, lodging and everything else on your Disney/Orlando vacation.

The Most Miserly Mom knows that when you are planning your trip to Disney World the airfare can eat up a lot of your budget. That’s why it is always best to plan and to be aware of everything you can in the airline marketplace.
One thing you can do is sign up with the various airlines that run promotions, such as Southwest, Jet Blue, Spirit, and any other local airline carrier in your area. This way they will email you when they have specials to Orlando from your airport.
You can also sign up with Hotwire.com or Cheaptickets.com or any of the other major travel sites for the same type of promotion notification. Although you might feel overwhelmed with sale spam, it may end up saving you hundreds of dollars in the end.
The Most Miserly Mom just received an email from Spirit Airlines running sales for $.05 each way. Yes, you heard it $.05 each way. The days are specific, but my goodness it would be worth it, wouldn’t it?
