Here are two words you don't hear together very often: Disney and savings.
So it's especially exciting that Mickey is rolling out the red carpet in Orlando for cost-savvy travelers this spring and summer. Disney World is offering some of the most heavily discounted theme park tickets we've spotted in a long time.
Since CEO Bob Iger took the helm (again) in late 2022, we've seen softening prices and policies that remind us of the pre-COVID-19 good old days of Disney.
Resort parking fees are gone, park pass reservations were phased out in January and dining plans also made their triumphant return recently. Now, you can also potentially save hundreds of dollars on your family's summer tickets to Disney World.
There are two different deals, so let's take a look at both.

With this special deal, you visit three parks — Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom — on three separate days. Note that you can't visit Magic Kingdom. However, the price on this 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket is remarkable: $89 a day, for a total of $267, plus tax.
A comparable three-day, three-park ticket bought at the lowest possible daily rate without the package is $118 per day, or $352 total. And the most expensive tickets on the most popular dates are an eye-popping $168, or $502 for three days. So you'll save a minimum of $85 per person on this package, or potentially up to $235 per person for three days.
If you don't mind missing Magic Kingdom — and for many families with older kids, this park is often the one they skip — this option presents significant savings.
Tickets are available to book immediately, and although Disney is calling this a "summer" package, you have a wide range of dates to choose from between April 2 and Sept. 24 (with a few holiday exceptions). Tickets must be used within five days of the selected start date.
The 3-Day, 3-Park Ticket can only be used once at each of Disney's three theme parks named in the offer — Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom – and you can only visit one park per day and can't repeat parks. You cannot park hop with these tickets.

But wait, there's more! Disney has also revealed that it's bringing back its 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket, for the same price it offered last summer: $99 a day.
This ticket gives you four total days of admission — one day at each of Disney World's four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios) — for just $396 plus taxes.

With tax season upon us, many Americans are anxious to know what it will mean for their tax payments — and refunds. The good news is that the average tax refunds have been increasing over the past few years, and according to the IRS, that trend is still continuing as of the latest data. This means, there's the potential for even more surprise money to hit your pocket this tax season.
It might be surprising but Nova Scotia is one of the only destinations in Canada with its own wine appellation. Tidal Bay—a briny and refreshing white wine blend—has become one of the distinct flavors of the East Coast of Canada, not unlike lobster rolls or donairs, and although it’s easy to find a bottle of the stuff in most liquor stores in the province, tasting Tidal Bay straight from the source is way more fun.

I'm a theme-park journalist who's visited Disney World over 500 times. So when my friend said she wanted her bachelorette party in Disney World, I helped plan it.
As someone who grew up going to Disney World — and even went on to work there for a bit — I've experienced quite a lot of what the parks and resorts have to offer.
