You really need to watch with the time shares. You need to meet minimum income requirements to even qualify for the free tickets. Also, it's going to waste a half day of your vacation. If you decide to do it, read the fine print first and know what you are getting in for. Some of them will have you agreeing to let them sell your info. Personally, I would not do the time shares. If you want more info on them, do a search on http://www.disboards.com for timeshare and read personal stories from people who've done them. You'll find a lot of nightmare stories!
As far as lying about your daughter's age to save money, I always discourage people from doing that. Do you really want to lie in front of your daughter in order to save a bit of money? What are you going to do if they ask her how old she is - instruct her to lie? It's just a bad idea and completely dishonest to all the other parents of three year olds who paid for their children to get in.
If you want to save money, I suggest trying to save money on food and drinks. If you bring in your own refillable water bottle, you will save quite a bit over purchasing drinks every day. Also bring in your own snacks. That will save a lot, not to mention it will be harder to find something suitable for a two year old to snack on. If you can, eat breakfast in your hotel room instead of in the theme parks. If you have a mini fridge you can get some cereal and milk for breakfast.
I went to Universal and Islands of Adventure a few years ago, and my wife and I are going back in July.
The best thing to do to maximize your time is go on a day that is historically not busy (like a Monday or Tuesday) so that you are not waiting in lines all day and walking around the park does not feel like walking up 5th Ave. in NYC, and buy your tickets online beforehand as you can usually save a few bucks online than direct from the ticket office.
As for meals: my wife and I just bring food with us to the park, like in a backpack. We bring sandwhiches, crackers, water and / or soda, or we just eat before we go. The food and drinks is where those parks really get you. Because they own a monopoly for all intents and purposes on food purchases and consumption within the park they can milk the customer for a huge price.
Have fun!
dont buy any food there i came back a few days ago and it can be rediculously over priced
There is a great advantage in getting your Disney World tickets in advance. Most ticket brokerages offer Disney World tickets at a discount and in most cases cheaper then at the gates.
Try Disney World Tickets or Florida Orlando Tickets, they both offer great discounts to Walt Disney World's theme Parks, spectacular dinner shows and other Florida attractions. Choose from “Magic Your Way” 1-7 and 10 day base tickets, Park Hopper and flex tickets. Attractions include Disney World, Universal Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Water Parks, Magic Packs, Pleasure Island and more. If you want to see it all and save try flex tickets. Pricing is comparable and affordable too. They both offer delivery or pick up just check which service is best for you. They can even deliver to your hotel one day prior to your arrival.
My suggestions: either go with the flex pass if you want to see it all or base tickets. With base tickets you can see one theme park for one day, why pay more for Park Hopper when you can see other theme parks another day.
Disney World Tickets also partners with Orlando and Kissimmee Hotels to give you amazing internet special rates. To help you save money you can compare Orlando and Kissimmee Hotels, see which provides free shuttle service to Disney World, free breakfast buffets, does the hotel offer children eat free program, also look at free parking. Some hotels may even offer a discount of Disney World Tickets.
You can receive additional discounts on tickets on Disney World and other Florida attractions with DW Savers Club.
With Floriday Orlando Tickets Disney's Fastpass service is included with all Walt Disney World Tickets.
Tips and suggestions: think about how many days you'll be there, make a plan for each day and stick to it, compare ticket prices and hotels, have a good breakfast and bring a light snack and most of all Have Fun!
I hope that helps and answers your question.
Do not say your daughter is 2 because they check her birth certificate and it is also illegal. To cut costs, buy the food plan at universal. If your only child is 2, then I suggest not going to universal at all. There is not much to do there for young children. It won't be worth your money or time. For more money saving tips, purchase the Unofficial Guide to Disney World. Hope this helps.
Call the Orlando Welcome Center…They have great offers on all of Orlando's attractions. I've heard of a few people that have gone that they got a really good deal…I believe they do timeshares there…but def call them

They never ever ever check the ages of children. As long as you carry the little girl in or have her in a stroller she will be fine.
As far as cheap tickets or places to stay this company is flat out amazing and speedy speedy speedy!
