How Target Saved Me $150 on my 2021 Disney Trip!

Target! One of the only places I can waste as much time and money as I do in Disney World. But Target can be a lifesaver when booking a trip to Walt Disney World.

Thanks to Target I was able to save around $150 off my trip to Walt Disney World in 2021. You may be asking yourself, how did she do that? Target doesn’t sell trips to Disney! (Wouldn’t it be cool if they did)

This trick is simple but so helpful when trying to save as much as possible on your trip to Disney.

So how did I do it? Disney Gift Cards!

Target sells an assortment of gift cards that you can save 5% on when using your free Target Debit or Credit Card.

Being a Target card holder allowed me to to purchase around $3000 worth of Disney Gift Cards for $2,850. That is a $150 worth of savings!

I then used these gift cards to pay for my upcoming trip. Just remember that when using this tip you will need to call Walt Disney World and give the Gift Card numbers to the cast member to pay for your bill since the website won’t allow you to add more than one.

I would also recommend purchasing the gift cards on Target.com since they offer $500 gift cards online. Telling the cast member the information for 5 or 6 $500 cards is much easier than 25 or 30 $100 cards.

Although my trip was around $2600 I purchased a few hundred dollars in gift cards to use in the parks for souvenirs and food.

This trip I planned to build droids in the droid depot in Galaxies Edge. Since this experience starts at $100 I was able to save $5 by purchasing the gift cards to pay for it ahead of time.

This tip would also work well if you have any souvenirs or experiences you want to purchase planned ahead of time. For example you could use these at the Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique, who’s packages start at $75.

I hope you found this money-saving Walt Disney World tip useful. Check out this blog post to see how I save on water while in the parks!
