Money-Saving Tips for Your Disney Trip

Traveling to Disney is a dream, but let’s be honest: the numbers can be scary! 😱 Between tickets, food, souvenirs, and hotels, the bill adds up quickly. The good news is that there are plenty of hacks to save money without losing any of the magic ✨.

Here’s a complete guide, organized by categories, with tips to save you money and headaches 👇

🛍️ Shopping and Souvenirs

1. Outlets before the park

Visit the Disney Character Warehouse at Premium Outlets (International or Vineland). It’s Disney’s official outlet: everything that’s no longer sold in the parks ends up there with discounts up to 70%!
👉 Tip: If you see something you like, buy it right away because stock changes constantly.

2. Walmart, your best friend

A true Orlando classic 😅. You’ll find cheap snacks for the park, rain ponchos for just a few dollars (they cost 10x more at Disney), and even souvenirs. Walmart ends up being another tourist attraction!

🍔 Food and Drinks

3. Bring your own food

Disney allows you to bring snacks and drinks (no alcohol or glass containers). Perfect if you don’t have a meal plan.

4. Popcorn Refillable Bucket

The bucket costs between $12 and $25 (depending on the design) and refills are only $2.25. You can share it with everyone, plus it makes a nice souvenir.

5. Free water

Instead of paying $4 for bottled water, ask for free cups of iced water at any quick-service spot or use the fountains.

6. Coffee and breakfast at your Disney hotel

Even without a meal plan, food courts have free coffee (use the mug from your room), plus toasters, microwaves, and condiments. With Walmart supplies, you can prepare cheap breakfasts.

7. Refillable hotel mug

Disney hotels sell a refillable mug that includes unlimited soda, tea, and coffee refills during your stay. Share it with your group and save a lot.

🏰 Tickets and Planning

8. More days, cheaper

The daily price goes down the more tickets you buy. If it’s your first time, it’s worth getting several days to explore calmly.

9. Lightning Lanes: yes or no?

They cost $20–30 per person, but they’re not mandatory. My tip 👉 use Single Pass for the most popular rides (e.g., Avatar Flight of Passage or Guardians of the Galaxy) and do the rest with the regular line.

10. Memory Maker shared or with your phone

The professional photo package costs about $185 if purchased in advance. Share it with other families and split the cost, so everyone gets the photos.
If you’re traveling solo or in a small group, ask photographers to use your phone—they’ll happily do it! 📸

11. Plan ahead

Booking early means better deals, cheaper dates, and interest-free installments. A Certified Agent (👋) can apply discounts as soon as they’re released.

12. Pay in installments

With packages (hotel + tickets), you can freeze the price, pay gradually, and cancel free of charge up to 30 days before.

13. Tickets vs. packages

Standalone tickets are non-refundable. With packages, you can change dates or cancel if something comes up.

🏨 Accommodation and Transportation

14. Magical Extras included

Booking a Disney package comes with perks:

  • Discounts at Disney Springs
  • Free mini-golf ⛳
  • Luggage tags with characters ✨

15. Free parking

Staying at a Disney hotel gives you free parking at the hotel and parks. If you stay outside, parking at Disney costs about $32 per day, plus your hotel parking—do the math if you’re staying several days!

🎉 In summary

Saving at Disney is totally possible. With good planning, some tricks, and smart decisions, you can enjoy the trip of your dreams without going broke.
👉 The key: planning ahead, smart shopping, and making the most of Disney’s built-in perks.

Four Orlando theme parks to discover Florida’s B side

When we think about Orlando theme parks, it’s very likely that the traditional image of Disney or Universal comes to mind. But many travelers want to go beyond the classic and look for new experiences. Maybe we’ve already been to Disney, or we know that every destination has another side to discover.

The Florida city is full of attractions, museums, and activities for the whole family. That’s why it’s possible to find quieter, more accessible, and more local options, without so many tourists around you. We’ve chosen four unusual Orlando theme parks: Gatorland, Legoland Florida, Fun Spot America, and Discovery Cove.

That’s what we want at Rentennials. For you to hop into your rental car and set out in search of the unknown. To go beyond the classic, open yourself up to other options, and make a trip unforgettable.

Below, we’ll share the best information for visiting the other Orlando theme parks (not Disney or Universal).

Parques de Orlando

Why visit other Orlando theme parks?

We know we’ll always want to go to Disney, maybe even more than once if we’re lucky. But we’re also aware that each day we’re looking for new experiences—more authentic, more personal. And you’ll find all that in the Orlando theme parks where nature, creativity, adrenaline, and unique moments come together.

But you’re probably still wondering: why visit other Orlando theme parks?

Here are some answers:

  • If you’ve already been to Disney or Universal, it’s time to explore new paths.
  • Families with very young children might want parks more suited for them.
  • Let’s face it: Disney and Universal usually mean long lines. If that’s not your thing, there are other options.
  • For travelers looking for more affordable prices.
  • Exploring other places gives you a more local and less touristy feel of the city.

Plus, many of these parks can be combined with half-day plans. This gives you more freedom and adds a different color to your trip.

Gatorland: Crocodiles and adventure

Gatorland  opened in 1949, making it one of Orlando’s oldest parks. You won’t find Disney characters or roller coasters here—this is where you’ll see alligators, crocodiles, snakes, and swamps. A visit to this park reminds us of Florida’s natural environment.

What can you see at Gatorland? For starters, more than 2,000 crocodiles in a controlled environment. There are also trails to walk among the vegetation and something special: a zipline that takes you right over crocodile ponds.

Tip: Visit in the morning if you’re looking for nature and peace.

Legoland Florida: A perfect plan for the little ones

Not far from Orlando—just 45 minutes away in Winter Haven—you’ll find one of the most sought-after theme parks. Sounds odd, but we’re not talking about Disney or Universal. We mean Legoland Florida. You probably already guessed: it’s a place entirely inspired by the classic Lego building blocks. While adults who remember their childhood enjoy it, this park is primarily designed for kids between 12 and 16 years old.

Like all Lego parks, the atmosphere is carefully crafted to the smallest detail. You’ll find cities, animals, and characters made from blocks. There are gentle roller coasters, water games, shows, play areas, and a water park.

Why visit Legoland Florida?

This park is ideal for trips with young children for several reasons. While it does attract crowds, you won’t face the same massive lines as Disney or Universal. Plus, the rides are tailored to these age groups. And the pace of visiting the park allows for a more relaxed day.

Want to take your visit to the next level? You can stay at the Legoland Hotel. Yes—the rooms follow the Lego theme.

Two tips: Leave your lodging early and buy your ticket in advance.

Fun Spot America: One of the Orlando theme parks where you don’t pay admission

Some know it as the Orlando theme park with free entry. Others call it a hidden gem of pure fun in Florida. And those who visit Fun Spot America often want to come back again and again.

This lesser-known park has a unique feature: there’s no mandatory admission. You can walk in without paying, explore the park, and decide if you want to ride anything. Most likely, you’ll want to get the daily pass because the rides are so good, you won’t want to miss any.

Why visit Fun Spot America?

It has two locations: one in downtown Orlando and one in Kissimmee. Both are easy to reach by car and can be combined with other Orlando activities. The park offers the classics: rides, roller coasters, go-karts to channel your inner Colapinto, and a much simpler atmosphere than the big-name parks. Here, you’ll find something authentic and local.

It’s not a Disney-style experience—and maybe that’s the point. It’s simple, direct, and affordable.

Fun Spot America prices and hours

This Orlando theme park is made for rest, walking, and connecting with nature.

Discovery Cove: Relaxation, nature, and an all-inclusive day

Discovery Cove is very different from everything we’ve mentioned so far. This theme park doesn’t offer just any experience—it’s built to give you a premium, high-quality day. The park has limited capacity, which means you can relax and disconnect. It’s like spending a day at a Caribbean resort.

This Orlando theme park is made for rest, walking, and connecting with nature.

Why visit Discovery Cove?

One thing is certain: if you’re interested in swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, or being in a lagoon with rays, this is your place. It may seem very different from other Orlando spots—and it is. Tropical rivers and white sandy beaches surprise and delight visitors to Discovery Cove.

You won’t find shows or Disney characters here. There’s peace, greenery, and soothing sounds. It’s a perfect plan if you’re traveling as a couple, need a break during a busy trip, or want a truly unique experience in Orlando.

Discovery Cove prices and hours

Tip: Admission is all-inclusive—meals, lockers, drinks, and even entry to SeaWorld or Aquatica (depending on your package).

You must book in advance as spots are limited each day.

Which of these Orlando theme parks should you visit?

If you’re unsure which one to choose, here are some facts to help you decide:

  • Gatorland: Ideal for families seeking nature and budget-friendly fun.
  • Legoland: For families with young children and Lego lovers.
  • Fun Spot America: For families with teens wanting something different from Disney and a more local vibe.
  • Discovery Cove: For those who want exclusivity, relaxation, and a different kind of connection with nature.

One great thing about these parks that Disney and Universal don’t offer: you can visit one in the morning and another in the afternoon. For example, do Gatorland early in the day and then head to Fun Spot after lunch.

The important thing to know is that Orlando theme parks go beyond Disney and Universal. There’s much more waiting for you in other corners of the city.

Tips for planning your visit to one (or several) of the Orlando theme parks

  1. Choose the park based on the kind of experience you want—whether solo or with family.
  2. Buy tickets in advance to avoid lines and get online discounts.
  3. heck the hours before going.
  4. Bring sunscreen, a hat, water, and comfortable shoes.
  5. Don’t try to do everything in one day. Take it slow and enjoy every moment.

Rent a car with Rentennials and discover Orlando’s other theme parks

Not everything is Disney and Universal. There’s so much more to see and do. That’s why knowing what Orlando theme parks have to offer you and your family can turn your trip into a completely different adventure.

What should you do first? Rent a car in Orlando and start exploring the city and those hidden corners every destination has. Rentennials will help you rent your car with ease, efficiency, and simplicity.

Orlando is waiting for you!

Experience Inter Miami matches and enjoy the magic of Messi

Want to live a different kind of experience? Watching Inter Miami matches has turned the Florida city into one of the best places to feel the magic of Lionel Messi. The perfect mix of sport and show makes entering Chase Stadium an unforgettable experience when watching the greatest footballer of all time.

Not long ago, few of us were interested in paying to see an MLS match. But everything changed with Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami. Now you can enjoy a league like the MLS with unique shows that have it all: passion, entertainment, and a stadium atmosphere that’s unlike anything we’re used to. And if Messi’s playing, it’s even better.

At Rentennials, we want you to live this experience. That’s why in this guide, we’ll tell you how to get tickets, go to the stadiums, and enjoy an unforgettable football experience in Miami.

The story of Messi and Inter Miami

Did you ever imagine being interested in buying a ticket to watch Inter Miami play? Messi made it happen. Since he arrived, the American league has been transformed, putting Miami at the center of the football world. The pink team signed him in 2023, and everything changed. Thousands of people started looking for a ticket to see a truly unique sporting event.

From the moment Messi put on the Inter Miami jersey, the club became one of the most important in the world. So much so that it was invited to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup alongside top teams from Europe, Argentina, and Brazil. Both the sporting and financial impact were clear—and along with Messi came other stars: Jordi Alba, Suárez, and Sergio Busquets, longtime teammates of the best player in the world.

What you need to know to see Inter Miami Matches with Messi

Seeing Messi live is one of those dreams you should fulfill at least once. Unfortunately, time flies, and it’s getting harder. That’s why it’s worth seizing every chance to go to a stadium and watch Lionel Messi play football. To make the most of the experience, it’s essential to know all the details for attending an Inter Miami match.

Keep reading to find out how to watch Inter Miami games, where to buy tickets, when matches happen, and what to expect at the stadium.

How to buy Tickets for an Inter Miami Match

The best option for buying tickets is the official Inter Miami website. There you’ll find availability, seating options, and prices with no hidden fees. Authorized platforms like Ticketmaster, StubHub, or SeatGeek are also reliable and help avoid scams.

A tip: never buy tickets through social media or unverified sellers. It’s very easy to fall into scams with fake or duplicated tickets.

For matches where Messi is expected to play, try to buy tickets several weeks in advance.

Prices to watch Inter Miami Matches

Going to an Inter Miami game is a unique experience that can fit various budgets. Ticket prices vary depending on the match, the opponent, and, of course, the section you choose. For regular MLS games, the cheapest seats start at around $30 to $40 in the upper stands.

For a better view and a different kind of experience, central or sideline seats range between $70 and $150. If you prefer a more premium experience, there are VIP sections or private suites, where prices often go over $300.

Important note: for special matches—like derbies, playoffs, or when Messi is confirmed to play—prices usually increase significantly. Always buy your tickets in advance on the club’s official site or trusted platforms.

When Are Inter Miami Matches?

The MLS season usually starts between late February and early March, and ends in October with the start of the playoffs. If Messi’s team qualifies, we might get more chances to watch Inter Miami games. While they play in stadiums across the U.S., the best experience is at DRV PNK Stadium.

Besides MLS, Inter Miami also plays in other important tournaments. For example, the CONCACAF Champions Cup features top teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. They also compete in the Leagues Cup, a tournament between MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX teams.

There are plenty of chances to catch an Inter Miami match. Your best bet is to visit the official club website and check the full match calendar to see when the next game is.

How to get to the Inter Miami Stadium by car

Inter Miami plays its home games at DRV PNK Stadium, located in Fort Lauderdale, about 45 minutes from downtown Miami.

The best way to get there is by car. From central Miami, take I-95 Express northbound—it will take you almost directly to the stadium.

There’s on-site parking, but it fills up quickly. A cheaper option is to park in nearby lots and walk a few minutes.

Is It Easy to Enter the Inter Miami Stadium?

Yes, entering DRV PNK Stadium is very straightforward. Like all major sporting events, it’s best to arrive early. Gates usually open 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff. Since it’s a smaller stadium, the access points are quick and well-organized.

Keep in mind there are standard security measures, so bring only what you need and check stadium rules beforehand (e.g., bag size limits).

Where to stay in Miami to see a Messi Match

If your trip is focused on seeing Messi, it’s best to stay near the stadium. In the Fort Lauderdale area, you’ll find a range of accommodations just 10 minutes from DRV PNK Stadium. It’s often cheaper than Miami Beach and a bit more relaxed.

Some options include Holiday Inn Express & Suites or Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port Hotel. Renting an apartment is also a great alternative.

Other sports you can enjoy in Miami

It’s not all about Inter Miami matches. With a little planning, you can enjoy world-class sports experiences in Miami. The NBA, American football, and baseball are fantastic options if you want something different from traditional football.

What other teams play in Miami?

Tips to enjoy Inter Miami Matches to the fullest

Watching Messi play in Miami is easier than you might think. To enjoy a complete and unforgettable experience, follow these simple tips:

  • Buy your tickets in advance as soon as you know your travel dates.
  • Check the Inter Miami schedule to plan your trip around a game.
  • Arrive early to enjoy the pre-game and halftime show—American stadiums take it to the next level.
  • Stay nearby so you don’t waste time getting to the match.
  • Respect all security rules to have a smooth and stress-free experience.

Rent a Car in Miami and experience the Magic of Messi

Having an unforgettable time at an Inter Miami match is easier than it seems. It all starts by renting a car in Miami, which gives you freedom, saves time, and makes everything simpler. After that, all that’s left is to get your tickets and enjoy.
