Love your site and all your tips. We are definitely going to look into the House of Blues dinner certificate. The current promotion is $10 for a $25 gift card. What a savings. We always take out food into the park but this time we are going to splurge and have a nice dinner. Thank you! I was also wondering if you happened to know of a cheap 3-day hopper pass out there. We are headed to Disney Land in 2 weeks and I've been waiting to purchase the hopper passes. The deal right now is $169 for adults and $152 for kids. We have 3 kids. Is there a better deal out there?

Yes, the things that were "non-essentials" could definitely be avoided, though, I did buy many of them with SwagBucks. We obviously wouldn't have to buy tshirts, waist pouches or pins the next time. We can use the same ones. Also, it was for 3 adults and 6 kids, excluding my sister's pass. She has a year membership. So, our per person average was pretty low. Thanks for the link love!

There are ways that you could save even more money, by not buying the t-shirts, or drinks she bought. The 1-day tickets are more expensive (per day) than if you bought a 5 day pass. The 5 day pass is 154.00, which is an average of 31.00 a day, where a 1 day park hopper is 87.00. So, the longer you stay the cheaper the you would pay "per day" in park admission.
