Accommodations are usually the biggest culprit in putting a dent in your frugal Disney World expenses. However, there are a couple of ways you can make Orlando your home on the cheap(er) while visiting the happiest place on Earth. Use one of the two ideas below to cut down on your traveling costs...

- Choose a convenient hotel

You can save on parking, rental cars, and taxis by choosing a hotel with free shuttle access to the theme park.

You can also stay at a hotel that offers free breakfast to its guest. But whatever hotel you choose, look for proximity to Disney World, free transportation to the theme park, dining costs, and any frugal Disney World accommodation deals or discounts.

Or if you decide to stay in a Disney resort hotel, you may be able to get into the theme park earlier than off-site guests, which means shorter lines and more time to enjoy the park (especially during the winter when the park closes earlier).

- Stay in a villa or vacation rental home

Get one within 20 miles of Disney World, and try to book it directly with the property owner to get the best frugal Disney World accommodations. These homes are fully equipped and a whole family can stay there for $100-200 per night. Instead of staying in one hotel room, everyone could have a room for themselves.

To cut costs down even further, split the expenses with another family. Many of Orlando's villas and vacation homes can house 2 or more families. You can keep an eye out for special deals by signing up for Orlando vacation rental website newsletters. Just search for "Orlando vacation rental newsletter" (without quotes) and you'll find several options.

Would you rather spend $5,500 or $2,700 on your entire Disney World family vacation, or would you rather spend only $2,700?
