"The book also discusses
ways to save for a trip, where to stay and eat, and how to
find low-cost souvenirs. While some families may find such
efforts unnecessary ..... for others they may mean the
difference between going or not."
-Richard P. Carpenter, The Boston Globe, November 6. 2005
"I tested this guarantee and
priced a vacation according to their suggestions. My
verdict: Their estimate of $200 savings is far too humble!
I saved three times that much on lodging alone!
Complete with maps and phone numbers, DISNEY ON A DIME
should be the first (and only) vacation planning book you
should buy. Give their guarantee a chance – that Disney
vacation may be just around the corner for you, too."

"The book also covers
sample budgets within the back of the book. This is great
for families looking for ideas on how to save money
without taking the time to do all the research themselves.
I liked that there was several ideas and flexibility
within the plans. Many times, budget books will simply
give you the cheapest way to do something. This book takes
into account many of the options families have."

package thinking you’re saving money, this is the book for

using real dollar values in providing sample budgets and
menus, and that makes it invaluable as a planning tool for
folks considering a first WDW trip."
