Disney Tip: Bring Your Own Glow Sticks

One way to save money at Disney is to buy Glow Stick Bracelets before leaving home. You can get a pack of 100 Glow Stick Bracelets from Amazon for around $10. Each night, crack 2-5 of them for each of your children to enjoy for less than $1 per child. Disney is very good at marketing, and as soon as it starts getting dark, they bring out toys that light up. These toys can be quite expensive and if you can hand your child(ren) several glow sticks as soon as you see the light-up toys appearing in the stores, you may save yourself a good amount of money. We have been doing this for several years now. We have noticed that there are some glow sticks that are just too cheap, such as the ones we have purchased from the dollar stores. Make sure to check for a high star rating on Amazon so you can feel more confident that you are buying high-quality glow sticks.

Another fun idea, especially around Christmas time, is to buy some Battery-Powered LED Lights to string on your stroller or even decorate yourself. This is another fairly cheap thing to do, and you will really light up the night. On Amazon, these run around $10 for 50 lights. This string even has a color or all-white option as well as a "running" option to have even more fun. Another bonus is that the rest of your family has no issue finding you at night time in the parks! Have fun with it and join in the spectacle!
