3. You open yourself up to something new.

Just because you can afford the fanciest, most expensive restaurants at Disney World doesn’t mean that you should always dine there or at the other very pricey locations. Sometimes a cheap meal can be the best meal, and you’ll never know until you try it. Read this to learn about some of the best but still affordable eateries at Walt Disney World. Another advantage is that you’ll interact with a much more diverse group of people at the affordable places. It’s boring to only be with your own ilk. Enjoy the accompaniment of people different from you, and take advantage of how many of the major theme parks are true melting pots.

4. You get to figure out ways to improve the park experience that no amount of money can buy.

Being thrifty will force you to think of ways to compensate for your lower budget. You’ll figure out ways to make your trip to a theme park more enjoyable that you never would have considered otherwise. One way is to not limit your food options to what you can find at the theme parks. Sometimes a meal from home, maybe even one based on a family recipe, is something you’ll enjoy more than anything you can buy in the parks. Even better, it saves you precious vacation time you’d spend waiting to order and you can pull out a snack whenever you want! That’s just one improvement possible from going to the parks on a tighter budget.

5. The experience becomes less materialistic and more pure.

Even though you’re usually purchasing an “all-access pass,” it’s very easy (intentionally so) for the park experience to feel like it’s driven by commerce. Even if you’re rich you still might not be able to afford absolutely everything you want. Free yourself from that desire to get more and more stuff by going in with the intention of not buying anything that you don’t actually need to have a fun day at the park. You might end up with a little less swag after your vacation, yeah, but you’ll have had the chance to experience the parks in a more pure form. Since that only requires you to spend LESS money, there’s no good reason not to take advantage of it.
