5 Steps to Save Big on Your Next Disney Vacation to Orlando.!

5 Steps on How to Save a Bunch of Money on Your Next Florida Vacation!!!

Hello,

The other day I was talking about how to save over $1500 in your next vacation to Orlando, Florida.

Today, I will talk about how to save when you travel to Orlando, Florida. When people travel and stay within a resort, many of them forget to ask the locals for ideas on where to shop, or how to get to places, so they don't get lost. The point is, many tourist don't realize tourist areas are usually more expensive than regular local areas.

Examples on how to save:

1. First of all, don't shop where tourist shop. If you plan on buying some groceries to keep in your suite for breakfast or snacks... you need to ask for local supermarkets. Don't buy at the resort convenience store, or wait for someone to take you to the closest tourist supermarket, where regular items are marked up. Do some research, find the closest local supermarket (e.g. Walmart, Super Target, Publix, Winn Dixie, etc...) Try not to shop at gas stations or small stores. You can end up saving big bucks on regular items such as Milk, Soda, Bottle Water, bread, etc...

2. In order to accomplish step one, make sure you look up local zip codes, and search the closest stores based on the zip code you are near at.

3. For step number one, also,  I want you to make sure you get to know the area, at least by having a map or acquiring some knowledge prior to your trip. You don't want cab drivers to take you to the closest tourist meeting (assuming you don't rent a car). I would advice you not to rent a car, if you are planning on saving money.  If you need the freedom to move around, and want to be able to decide where to go and when, go ahead and rent a car, but remember that this choice not only entitles you to pay a fee per day, but also, taxes, gas, tourists fees, gas, gas, gas, and then tolls. YES, tolls! and lots of them. You can be prepare to pay up to $5.00 or more per trip only in tolls. Also, you should be prepare to pay for parking at the attractions. This will not be less than $14.00 per day. While, on the other hand, when you contract the services of a car driver, you only pay for the trip. Many small companies will provide you with discounts when you book ahead, and with an itinerary prior of arriving to your vacation. The cool thing about this service is that you have the service of a cab, for less money, and the freedom to go whenever and wherever you please! If you are traveling to Orlando, Florida let me know and I can hook you up with one of this companies. Email me.

4. Another piece of advice; I will let you know something that most people don't know about shopping at a Mall, or at an outlet. Go to the information center, and ask for a coupon book. It might cost you $5.00 but the amount of money you can save is unrealistic. Most retailers will include offers for up to 15-20% of your entire purchase. Also, you can get free merchandise and Bogo's offers and sales. If you are planning on hitting the shopping venues, try to go to the outlets. They offer discounted prices on most of the same merchandise you could find on the Malls. If you must go to the Mall, sign up for a shopping app if you own a smart phone, so you can get special offers and coupons to save even more.

5. Utilize the shuttles to and from the Resorts. Most attractions offer transportation to the parks, and or they make sure you can have transportation to the airport too. Like I mentioned before... Arrange for the resort to pay for your transportation. That is one of the perks of being a VIP. Resorts will do and be as generous with you if they think you will buy a vacation property with them. When you book your trip make sure you get a straight answer on whether or not they are offering you transportation to and from the airport. Most sales people will mention this, but will omit that some Resorts will only offer pick up, and therefore leaving you stranded after you have been at the sales presentation. Finally don't forget that Bus transportation is also and option, and its cheap! Leaving you with more dollars in your wallet to take advantage of the many attractions, restaurants, and shopping venues you and your family will enjoy.

OK, Folks there it is...You now have 5 steps or pieces of advice, on how to save some money when you travel to Orlando, Florida.
Let me know if you want more advice or if you need information on how to contact any of the aforementioned companies.  Email Me

How to Save $1500 in Your Next Vacation to Orlando, Florida

Save More Than $1500 on Your Next Florida Vacation!!!

Hello,

It is a good day to talk about a vacation isn't? Well, for a lot of people a vacation is something extremely needed, or something extremely stressful. Please don't get into the second group. If your are trying to go somewhere to relax and have a great time, allow me to give you some advise into where to go and how to travel. This way you can save a lot of money, and also save time and therefore more money.

Orlando, Florida is the place, families from all around the world, visit the most every year. Florida and specially Orlando, Florida has hundreds of choices to accommodate you and your family. Plenty of attractions to keep you, and your family entertain,  and enough Malls, and outlets to make your shopping experience worthwhile.

Now, everyone dreams of going to Disney World. Everyone wants take their kids to Fantasy Land. However, the reality is that with today's economy not everyone can afford it. With everything going up in price, and people suffering from laid offs and so forth, most of us think that taking a most needed vacation is out of our reach.
This is not necessarily true. I am going to provide you with the tools and resources so you can travel and save a ton of money (and not in car insurance), and have the great vacation you and your family deserve.

Resorts in Florida need you. They make most of their money selling Time Shares, and they need people to visit them, so they can show them their beautiful properties in hope they can entice you to buy a Time Share. Without you (the traveler) their is no one to show the property too, and therefore, no one to buy a Time Share; this leaves the resorts depending on renting the rooms to travelers (like you), but then rates for these beautiful properties go up, to be able to cover for the maintenance fees and so forth, making vacations even less affordable for the common folk.
So, the most hated 3 hour presentation doesn't sound so bad now, as long as is not you the one having to summit to one of them, right?

Well, you might think that you don't want to travel to have to spend 3 hours listening to a guy trying to sell you a Time Share in Orlando. However, you might find this incredibly rewarding. No one said you have to buy a Time Share, I am saying you have to just go to a sales presentation, get free food, free tickets to the theme parks (save almost $200 in your tickets to Disney World), and also save up to 90% on your stay for only 3 hours of your time.

Doesn't that sound like a good investment?

Of course it is. Now let me show you the math behind it: To stay in one of these resorts, you would have to pay on average anywhere from $150 to $450 per day depending on the season. So, lets say you fall right in the middle and you are paying around $225 per day on your stay at a resort. Now, remember a resort is not the same as a hotel! A resort has a lot of amenities and usually is a suite.

So, you are not confined to staying in a room where you have to use the bathroom sink to make coffee. OK, now going back to the math... If you are staying in Orlando, Florida for about 7 days and you are paying $225 per day, you will have an out of pocket expense of $1575 + taxes which are usually higher than the normal sales tax... so, add another $157.50 to your tab. OK, so far you have $1732.50 and you only booked your stay... Thus, leaving your pockets hurting to be able to spend more money at the parks, or saving thousands at the great shopping venues Orlando, has to offer.

On the other hand, if you booked your stay through a seller of travel (one of those companies that sell accommodations in exchange of your time for a Time Share presentation), you will stay at the same resort for only $399.99 saving $1332.50; and the beauty of it is that you get that discount only for qualifying, and so that you can experience the resort and hopefully decide to buy at the time of the resort presentation.

To make things even better for you; most of the time resorts will include two tickets for one park as a form of compensation for your time when you attend the presentation. Thus, saving you another $200.00.

I have just showed you how to save more than $1500.00 in your next vacation to Orlando, Florida. Not only how to save, but also how to travel and enjoy the best amenities and the best services without breaking your wallet. For the sake of no making this a long boring article, I will write on my next post how to keep on saving, and not only in Orlando, Florida.

Afforable Disney World Vacations to Orlando, Florida!!

Disney World Made Affordable

It is not a secret! Orlando, is a vacation destination for millions of tourist around the world.
Visitors come to Orlando, looking to have a special time with their love ones. After all Orlando, holds so many attractions and places to seek entertainment that the usual visitor would have to spend almost a whole month to see it all.

However, what happens after the vacation is over and that visitor goes back home? They go back to their towns and homes and they start looking for ways to pay off the credit cards, and also finding new income to re-gain the money they did not plan to spend when they were there. Thus defeating the purpose of having taken a vacation at all!!!

Its always the same story! But, what about utilizing the hospitality industry for your own benefit????

This is something not too many people are aware of!!!!
Resorts, which you can find abundantly in Orlando; are usually looking for individuals to come and visit them just to tour their properties and hopefully buy with them (which no one is required to do). You only have to purchase a vacation package (sold only by specific seller of travel companies in Florida) where you only pay 10% or 20% of the original cost for your accommodations, and save a bundle. To make it even a better bargain, they will compensate you for the time you spend on the "VIP Tour". Different Resorts in Orlando will offer different things, but most of them will certainly give you passes for some of the attractions, and they will pay for either your breakfast, lunch or dinner for that day.
It does not get any better than that!!!
Now, there are certain things one has to watch before purchasing from any of these so called "sellers of travel"!!!
  • First, make sure they disclosed everything in their pitch or sales presentation!
Basically don't ever buy from a telemarketer who does not proves its identity. Ask for phone number, website, email address, address, if you can buy in person, state license, affiliations, names of the resorts, find out if they are really selling for that resort, and finally do not give your credit card unless you know they are going to do a verification at the end of the sale. A verification is not only for their protection. Pay attention to what they are saying on that verification; many companies try to confuse you by a game of words; so make sure you don't agree with anything you have not agree with before.

  • Second, make sure they are not just going after your credit card, and they are willing to work with you and your needs. 

So many times we receive calls from people trying to attempt access to our credit cards, and they just expect us to be there just ready to open our wallets and handle cc numbers for them to use at their will. Make sure whoever calls you has an extension number where you can call them back, and they are OK with that.

  • Third, remember to ask for more!!!
 These companies have access to unlimited amount of resources! Don't be afraid to bargain. However, also make sure you don't miss out on the opportunity at the best vacation package deal of your life, just because you feel greedy.

  • Fourth, and final suggestion is to make sure you follow these things, and you prepare yourself to have the time of your life!!!
If you take care of everything you need to, you will be sure to not have any problems at all. Go on your vacation to Orlando, pay less than half for accommodations (and save on attraction tickets and much more), and go back home happy and wealthy by having saved a ton!!!
