From Freezing to Florida with a Trip to Disney
Feb 21, 2025
Where our family lives in the Northeast, we've endured a brutally cold winter. Before we got into Travel Hacking, we used to suffer through winters like this with no ability to escape the cold and vacation somewhere warm. Thankfully, that's not our story anymore. We were able to trade 8 Degrees for 87 Degrees, enjoy a nice resort, spend a day at Epcot, and enjoy some great time together with my parents (Who have also been enjoying the benefits of Travel Hacking). So if you're looking to Travel Hack your way to Disney, here are a couple things to get you started.
Book this Disney Resort with Points
Less than one mile from Epcot is the Walt Disney World Swan Resort. This incredible resort is right next to the Disney Boardwalk, will take you via boat to Epcot and the Disney Skyliner, or shuttle you to any place in Disney you want to go. If you want to walk out the front door of your hotel and be right on the Disney property, then this is the place for you! You could pay $3,600 to stay at The Swan for a week, or you could book it for free with your points!
Book this Hyatt Resort with Points
If staying on the Disney property isn't something that you really value, then I would highly recommend the Hyatt Grand Cyprus Resort. Their incredible pools, golf course, lake activities, and more will fill your trip with all kinds of fun when you're not at Disney. They're located only five miles away from Disney, and have been voted one of the best family resorts in Orlando! You could pay over $3,200 to stay at the Grand Cyprus for a week, or you could book it for free with your points!
Don't Make This Mistake
One of the biggest mistakes that people make in trying to leverage Travel Hacking for Disney is signing up for a Disney Credit Card (Don't make this mistake!). The Disney marketing department makes this sound really good, but in reality, you're passing up on so many other cards that could earn you thousands of dollars more for your Disney vacation!
There are over 90 different Travel Credit Cards available today, but Travel Hacking isn't about signing up for a large number of cards. Ultimately, you must learn quality over quantity, because starting with the wrong cards or getting them in the wrong order can cause you to lose out on thousands of dollars in free travel...
If We Can Do It, You Can Do It... And I'd love to Help!
There is a whole world of resources that I can equip you with beyond the few small things I've shared here. I can help you earn free flights, book free resorts, enjoy free or discounted Disney Park Tickets, and much more. There are two options that each have the same result: Free Travel!
Travel Hacking Course - You are the Pilot, I'm your Navigator! My on-demand course will equip you with all the principles and tools you need to succeed at Travel Hacking. This option is best for strategic people who want to learn and adapt a Travel Hacking system that best fits their travel goals and desires.
Travel Hacking Coaching - I'm your Pilot, You are the Passenger! My coaching positions me to guide you one-on-one each step of the way with my refined expertise and best practices so that you won't have to suffer common rookie mistakes that most people do on their own. (I'm currently coaching someone for a Disney Trip!) This option is best for the "Just tell me what to do" people who want the benefits of Travel Hacking, but don't have the time to learn in a course.
Most families spend years saving for a single Disney trip, carefully budgeting for flights, hotels, park tickets, and dining—only to find that costs continue to rise. But with Travel Hacking, you don’t have to wait years or drain your savings to experience the magic of Disney. By strategically earning and redeeming travel rewards, you can save thousands rather than spending thousands. Instead of making Disney a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you could visit more often and more affordably than most people ever dreamed possible—without sacrificing comfort or fun.
