Travel Tip: Saving for a Disney Vacation

March 29, 2016

Having trouble saving money for your next Disney getaway?  You might want to consider the Disney Vacation Account program which lets your family budget for an upcoming trip and schedule automatic contributions into an FDIC-insured savings fund. Account holders can cash in their savings for a vacation at a Disney theme park, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney or at Aulani, Disney’s plush resort in Hawaii. Contributing to a Disney vacation account does not yield interest, but you do receive a $20 Disney Gift Card for every $1,000 you spend — the equivalent of 2 percent of the purchase, more than three times what banks offer! You can set up the account for a minimum of $10 and contribute at any frequency and any dollar amount that you want and up to five years in advance! There’s no penalty for taking money out early, and no fees involved along the way. Check out https://disneyvacationaccount.disney.go.com for more details.
