Bougie in a Backpack

Ep. 87: Disney on a Budget and Full-time Family Travel with Jodie (@learnersandmakers)


Listen Later

Today we are chatting with Jodie (⁠⁠⁠@learnersandmakers), who was a speaker at our virtual summit in August talking about Disney on a Dime. Jodie shares tips based on her experiences traveling to various Disney parks, and using points and miles to save money. Jodie and her family travel full time, and she walks us through through her process of booking flights and accommodations, as well as her experience living in an RV and traveling with her family. She shares insights on how they handle mail, find parking for the RV, and navigate unexpected challenges. In this episode, you will learn:

  • Consider visiting international Disney parks, as they can be cheaper than American parks
  • Stay off-property to save money on accommodations and use points and miles for transportation
  • Be flexible with travel dates and destinations to maximize redemption opportunities
    • Finding a reliable mail service is essential for RV living, and there are various options available depending on individual needs, (Jodie uses iPostal1.com)
    • Parking an RV can be challenging, but there are websites and services that connect RV owners with available parking spaces.
      • Homeschooling provides the flexibility to incorporate travel into education and explore different destinations.
      • Planning trips during less busy times can result in lower costs and shorter wait times at popular attractions.
      • It's possible to have a memorable and enjoyable trip on a budget by making smart choices and prioritizing what's important.
      • ...and more!
