Between four parks, dozens of hotels and the free input Disney Springs Entertainment Complex, there is a solid fare if you know where to look.

Lauren Schwarn, Neldwallet Amazon’s famous Prime Day sale took place from July 8th to 11th and is back this summer. Looking back at the past few years, I noticed patterns when I shopped with great deals. There’s a lot of hype leading up to the sale, but when it’s over, I’m a bit frustrated.
