We are a family of 5. 8 yo girl and 5 yo twin boys. I took my daughter on a girl's trip to Disneyland in 2011 and this is our first family vacation ever! We are headed to WDW in May! We are trying to do this as cheaply as humanly possible. I realize that it's going to be expensive no matter what, but we have done pretty well so far. We are staying at the Clarion and we booked 6 nights for $342 including taxes and everything booked through Groupon with 6.5% cash back on ebates. I just bought out WDW admission tickets yesterday on Orbitz (using ebates). We got 5 days for the price of 3. It came to $1430 without factoring in our cash back from ebates. We are driving down. It's about a 10 hour drive from Tennessee where we live. Obviously we will pack snacks and make our own breakfasts in our hotel room (no free breakfast at the Clarion). What are your suggestions for keeping our trip as budget friendly as possible? And what should we splurge on? We splurged on the Bippity Boppity Boutique at DL and DD doesn't seem as interested this time.
