Budget-Friendly Ways to Break Up your Days at Disneyland

Admission prices for Disneyland tickets can cost $100/person, so for an average family of four, you are looking at spending approximately $400/day on just entrance fees, not to mention all of the souvenirs and food you will be paying for during those days.  If you are traveling with a large family, your budget can be blown out of the water in no time flat.  A good plan is to purchase a Park Hopper Pass for a few days less than your vacation time and use the other free days you have to do some local free activities such as the beach or a nearby park.  Doing free or less expensive activities will lessen the blow of the cost of the tickets and will help keep the little ones occupied and entertained when you are not in the park.
