Unlock Disney Magic: Turn Credit Card Points into a Dream Vacation

Planning a Disney trip with points and cashback can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be.

Points to Magic was created to help families save thousands on Disney trips without spending months buried in Reddit threads or blog rabbit holes.

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to level up your planning, here’s your step-by-step path to Disney magic on a budget.

Start Your Disney Points Journey

Ready to embark on your magical Disney adventure without breaking the bank? Here’s how to begin:

1. Discover Free Disney Hotel Options

Your first stop: our Free Disney Hotel Database — a powerful, filterable tool that maps out the best Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt hotels near Disney World that can be booked with points.

  • Want a hotel with a waterslide and a free shuttle to the parks?
  • Traveling with a dog and need a kitchen and separate bedroom?
  • Looking for a multi-room suite so your family has space to breathe?

You’ll find it here — organized and easy to use.


2. Master Disney Travel Hacking

When you’re ready to go from “this looks cool” to “here’s my plan,” the Shortcut Kit makes it easy.

What’s included:

  • A fill-in-the-blank trip planner (Google Slides)
  • Real trip plans to copy (with exact points and cards used)
  • 24/7 Disney Planning Chatbot
  • Cashback + gift card stacking strategies
  • Bonus: Instant access to our Trip Plan Vault

No courses. No calls. Just tools that work.


3. Join Our Points to Magic Community

Don’t go it alone! Our exclusive Points to Magic Community is where you’ll:

  • Ask questions
  • Share wins
  • Swap travel hacks with other points-savvy Disney fans

Smart Disney planning doesn’t happen in a vacuum — it happens with strategy + support (and a little pixie dust).


Meet Danielle — The Start of Points To Magic

Hi, I’m Danielle — a CPA, mom of two, dog lover, and Disney-obsessed travel hacker. I created Points to Magic after using credit card points, cashback, and smart planning to build nearly free Disney trips for my own family — again and again.

But my family isn’t “typical,” and yours might not be either. We travel with sensory challenges, Neurodivergence, anxiety…. and 2 dogs. That’s why I created Points To Magic to reflects real-life travel:

  • Pet-friendly hotel reviews
  • Multi-room suites
  • Strategies that work for families who need flexibility

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up your points game, I’m here to help you save big and plan your trip with confidence — dog hair, spreadsheets, and all.
