Cheap Disney Vacations Can be Found
During Value Season

When you are on a budget, like me, finding cheap disney vacations is the only way to go. Really.

Ironically, the best time to visit Disney World is also the most affordable. It is called Value Season.

Disney divides each calendar year into "seasons".

Right now the seasons are as follows (I have listed a general timeframe for each season but this will change from year to year. Check the Disney website for the most up to date information):

Value Season 1 and Value Season 2 - Generally January and the beginning of February, August and September
Regular Season - April through part of May, October and Novemeber
Fall Season - October 23 to December 22
Summer Season - May to August
Peak Season - End of February through March
Holiday Season - End of December

For the Disneyworld villas, the dates for each season are slightly different.

During Value Season a room in one of the cheapest Walt Disney World Resorts starts at $82 per night for 2011. However, due to high demand, Disney now only offers that rate on a very limited number of nights.

While the price is definitely tempting, it's not the best part. The biggest advantage is not the price - it's the crowds. There are none!

Nothing is worse than standing in long, endless lines in the Florida heat. What kind of vacation is that? Certainly not a relaxing one.

A good portion of Value Season falls during the school year. If kids are in school, they are not at Disney World. Avoiding crowded times provides more bang for your buck. Without long lines, wait times are less for popular rides. You get to see more and do more in a relaxed environment. Definitely more enjoyable.

I have found that affordable Disney Vacations are all about timing.
