The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide - Is It Too Good to Be True? Here’s the “catch”
If you’ve been searching for affordable disney family vacations then you’ve probably already heard about Beth Haworth’s - Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide.
I decided to hold off on telling you about it until I actually got my hands on the materials and looked them over.
I also wanted to really check out the offer and see if any shenanigans were going on.
THE VERDICT:
The 140 page guide is good. It was nothing new to me, since I’ve been in the Disney World Vacation business for many years now.
It’s EXCELLENT for someone who wants to cut through the clutter and simply get started -cutting their Disney Vacation costs in Half.
HERE’S THE REAL GOLD:
The Super Savings process maps. WOW, these things are awesome. I mean, REALLY kick-butt. A lesser Disney reporter would have taken these maps, fluffed ‘em up with stuff –and sold them for a few hundred bucks easily.
…And it would have been worth it.
So all in all, Beth’s offer is well worth it. Beyond any shadow of a doubt.
Oh - by the way. Yes, I know my writing is horrible in this post. I’d just gotten blown out of the water, skiing after getting my butt kicked by a fairly heavy wind swell we’ve had.
here’s my full review below…
Former Disney Cast Member named Beth Haworth has created The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide to help families save money at Walt Disney World.
She reveals secrets, tips and tricks for savings of up to 50% to create affordable disney family vacations for anyone.
I was very interested in seeing whether you really could save all this money at Disney World as Beth claims you can.
I mean with all the FREE money saving tips I have already provided here on Disney Insider Secrets and in other places on the web could there really be more ways to save even More on your Disney vacation?
So I decided it was time to dig into the heart of this.
I purchased the Disney savings guide with great anticipation.
And I’ll have to say…
I was blown away. After I scanned through the guide, I decided to jump right in and found that the more I read the book the more shocked I became.
Surprisingly, I came across many inside tips, secrets, and money saving tricks in which I was completely unaware of.
There is some serious stuff inside this thing.
HERE’S THE GOLD
The Disney World Savings Guide covers everything from lodging, dining, tickets, souvenirs and much, much more.
Beth even gives you tons of forms to help you keep track of reservations, confirmations, savings, budgeting and other stuff for your trip.
The guide starts off by discussing ways to save money on lodging. Going into extreme detail she provides tables with the different rates according to the different seasons (peak season, off peak season, holiday season, etc.) This saves you a ton of time and money.
There is another strategy inside this section that could save you hundreds if you choose one of the more expensive resorts at Disney. It involves a little extra effort but I strongly feel it’s way worth it.
You’ll also discover how to find Orlando vacation rental properties that are right for you. You’ll learn the pros and cons of staying in a vacation property versus staying in a hotel.
The next thing covered is the various ways to save money on your Disney tickets. Beth also covers a FREE Disney Tickets strategy I have already wrote about which is by attending timeshare presentations. She goes into depth on exactly how to get FREE 1-2 day tickets using this method.
She reveals many other ways to save money on discount disney tickets covering the various Disney Ticket Discounters that are out there and basically lays everything out on the table for you.
I must say…it’s all the stuff you will need to know so you can have affordable disney family vacations easily wrapped up inside one neat little package.
…it’s good stuff.
THE VERDICT
Overall, I must tell you, the Disney World Savings Guide is worth it’s weight in Gold.
You may be able to find some of the advanced tips if you searched the web for hours on end in forums, signing up for newsletters and other time consuming methods.
However, If your serious about saving as much as possible and would like to save up to 50% on your Disney vacation PLUS -get a ton of super savings process maps, forms, charts, and more then…
All in all, Beth’s offer is well worth it. Beyond any shadow of a doubt.
You will find the info inside is unquestionably worth tens times more then you paid for sure.
Unofficial Guide to Disney…What You Need To Know

Bob Sehlinger and Len Testa have come together to create an amazing tour book called… “The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2009.”
They set out to make this a complete A-Z Disney tour guide to make sure your Disney Vacation is an awesome event.
But is the “Unofficial Guide to Disney” the Ultimate resource for those wanting more then a tour and information guide; like how to get Disney discounts and deals on tickets, hotels, travel, etc?
The simple answer to that is no.
But what the unofficial guide to disney does do, it does it right and like no other Amazon guide out there.
The Unofficial Guide to Disney is loaded with pictures and information and Testa and Sehlinger are straight-forward in giving out their opinions and the majority of the people out seem to agree with their opinions and choices making this a trust worthy source of great info.
Here’s what you really need to know….
Most people want to know how to get the deals and how to save time and money.Your simply not going to find that kind of info at Amazon, Barnes n Noble, or Borders books stores. Basic info is what you get at these book stores.
If your searching for Disney Insider Secrets and short cuts to the Disney deals then you need to find the premium resources that will walk you through in detail where and how to get all this secret stuff. For example one of these premium guides was written by an Ex-Disney Employee who tells all…
I won’t go into detail about these two Disney insider guides but you can check them out here for more info.
Check out the Disney Insider Secrets Guides here >>
No matter which one of these insider savings guides you choose they are the real deal when it comes to Disney Insider Secrets… and they are worth every penny.
You’ll invest a few bucks more, but in this case you do get what you pay for.
As for The Unofficial Guide to Disney, is it worth it?
Heck, yeah!
If you want an A-Z Disney resource at your disposal with down-to-earth advice, tips and opinions then this is as good as it gets.
Combine this with one of the Disney Insider Guides I suggest getting, and together you will have the Ultimate Disney Insiders Secrets Guide which = The Ultimate Disney Dream Vacation for half the price.
So what inside the Unofficial Guide to Disney?
Basically 848 pages of good stuff like…
* Trip Planning Tips & Tricks
* Detailed Resort information
* Attraction overviews, reviews, and ratings by age group
* Touring Plans which offer step-by-step guidance even by the day
* Addresses for all your family needs
The only major down turn to this guide is that the organization is a mess. It’s a Disney Encyclopedia that could take weeks to go through. Finding what you need to know is a chore and some of the comments are a bit cynical. So if you can get past what I feel is a small flaw then you will be satisfied.
Here’s the features of the The Unofficial Guide to Disney from Amazon…
Five Great Features and Benefits offered ONLY by The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World:
1. Exclusively patented, field-tested touring plans that save as much as four hours of standing in line in a single day
2. Tips, advice, and opinions from hundreds of Walt Disney World guests in their own words
3. Almost 250 hotels rated and ranked for quality and value, including the top non-Disney hotels for families
4. A complete Dining Guide with ratings and reviews of all Walt Disney World restaurants, plus extensive alternatives for dining deals outside the World
5. Every attraction rated and ranked for each age group; extensive, objective, head-to-head comparisons of the Disney and Universal theme parks
