10 Money Saving Travel Tips for Your Next Orlando Vacation
Rent a car. While this may sound expensive, it may actually save you money. Consider renting a car instead of using the airport shuttle. Just be sure your resort offers complimentary parking on premises. This will give you the flexibility of having available transportation at any time.
Make your own hotel reservations. Many resorts offer additional discounts and specials on their websites, so be sure to check these out while you are deciding which resorts to stay at.
Take advantage of coupons. Whether it is for resorts, food, or attractions, coupons will save you money and they can be found just about everywhere. Try looking at hotel’s websites, in local newspapers, at convenience stores, etc. Always read the fine print carefully for terms and conditions of the coupon though.
Give your children a set amount of spending money. By doing this ahead of time, it may avoid the hassles of your children wanting things throughout your vacation. This may help control your spending on them as well.
Take advantage of hotel amenities and services. Be sure to find one that offers plenty of children’s activities. You never know when or if your family is going to need a break for all the Orlando activities, and want to spend a day at the hotel.
Eat meals in your room. After spending much of your vacation in the Florida heat, try and eat meals from your comfortably air conditioned room. It will give your family some time to relax and recoup, as well as saving yourself money that can be used during your vacation.
Bring your own stroller, if you have small children. You will probably spend a lot of your vacation walking, especially if you plan on visiting amusement parks, so if you have small children a stroller is important. If at all possible, bring your own. This can save you $7 to $10 a day at some parks.
Make use of individual, refillable water bottles. These bottles can be refilled at your resort or at water fountains at amusements parks. A family of four could easily spend $20 or more a day buying water by not reusing bottles.
Spend a day away from Orlando attractions. You are paying for your resort’s amenities, so why not use it! Spend the day relaxing by the pool and enjoying the fun activities that the resort offers.
Enjoy free transportation. Many resorts offer free shuttle transportation to nearby attractions. This will save you money on cab fares and/or parking fees at area attractions.
