Here is what we did to do Disney World on the cheap. Every so often Disney offers a great deal usually a few months before the non-peak times like September. All of the meals are included in your trip and you can eat really good. Actually one of these deals is going on right now if you want to travel in September. This is the best deal that they offer if you are staying at the resort. As far as discounts on just tickets, unless you live in Florida there are no discounts usually because they don't have to give any discounts since the park is almost always packed.

To get the cheapest possible hotel rates you will want to stay at the All Star resorts. The rooms are really small, but that is the absolute cheapest that you can go on price and still stay on Disney property. There is no difference between any of the All Start resorts other than the scenery.

Another trick to do is to buy tickets with the water park add on. You get a few days of water park use and you can take a day or two off of the base theme park tickets and that will save you a few bucks. Also remember that you may not arrive the first day with enough time to actually visit the park. They will automatically sell you a ticket for the arrival and departure date, but look at airfares first to determine if you wil actually be at the park on those days.

If you have further questions, just ask because there are a lot of variables and tricks to save money.
