Looking for some little ways to save money on your next trip to Orlando? Keep in mind that staying at a hotel on property can have its advantages if you’re planning to visit a theme park.

Guests at Universal Orlando’s three hotels enjoy free Universal Express front-of-the-line access which means less waiting in line. And guests at a Walt Disney World Resort can take advantage of Extra Magic Hours where each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular park closing.

Another valuable tip for those hot Florida days is to quench your thirst and take home a souvenir! Most Walt Disney World resort hotels offer length-of-stay refillable drink mugs for $11.99, good for unlimited free refills of coffee, soda, iced tea and hot chocolate.

At SeaWorld Orlando, kids can bring their own autograph book for Shamu & Crew characters to sign from 9 a.m. to noon near the front gate.
