Boy in 10 months. I heard Disney is super expensive. Starting to save now. More money is going toward college now but still need to save for a big trip like Disney.
Anyone have any:
1) ball bark $$$$ for 3-4
2) what is the right age.
3) what is the right length. (Went to Vegas for 5 days. Too much)
4) rent house vs hotel on park vs off park
5) insider tips or savings.
6) waste of money or money pits.
7) where can I gamble or drink

We went a year ago between Thanksgiving and Xmas. My son was almost 10 at the time. He was not into the little kid stuff but old enough to ride the Screamer and all the big rides. Also being it wasn't peak season we rode a lot of rides more than once. We stayed at a hotel several blocks from park. There are several and are cheaper than Disney hotels with free shuttle buses. But we walked like a lot of people the few blocks to the park each morning. We spent 3 days. One day at Disneyland, one at California Adventures and the third at both riding rides again that we loved and ones that were closed the day we were there. Peak season might take 3 or more days to ride everything. We also spent a day at Legoland in Carlsbad. It is more for younger kids, I suggest 8 and under.
