Top Tips for Orlando on a Budget With millions of Americans getting a government tax rebate ranging up to $1,200 and beyond, now's the time to plan a family vacation that puts that rebate to work. To stretch the dollars further, the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc. (Orlando CVB) recently introduced nearly 40 special values on accommodations and attractions (see www.VisitOrlando.com) and offers the following tips to help families on a budget make the most of their vacation: 1 Where to Stay - In Orlando, it isn't necessary to blow the majority of your vacation budget on a place to stay. Options abound ranging from budget accommodations starting at around $50 per night to value hotels at around $80 per night to vacation homes, campgrounds and more. For example, a family of four can enjoy four nights in a family suite at the Best Western on International Drive for $79 a night, totaling $355.50 once tax is added, leaving plenty of money for attractions and dining. For families looking for more comforts of home, the new Point Orlando Resort is offering a $129 per night rate and includes a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and continental breakfast daily. For less than the amount a couple will receive for their government tax rebate ($1200), a family can get a Walt Disney World Resort vacation package that includes three nights at a value hotel and theme park tickets. For value examples, go to www.VisitOrlando.com. ...More Recent Articles |
