Millions of people visit Disney World in Orlando, Florida every year. And every year, the local hotels make billions of dollars from those millions of tourists. But while most tourists are rushing to get a room at crowded hotels that must be booked months in advanced, the smart traveler knows the secret to a stress-free Orlando vacation.

Booking an Orlando vacation rental doesn’t have to mean renting out a hotel room. Check your options and you will realize, like many seasoned travelers have, that booking a Florida vacation home has benefits that you can never get with a hotel.

Do More than Just Disney World

You can relieve a lot of stress of booking an Orlando vacation by ditching the hotels and planning to stay in a Florida vacation home, where your visit to Disney World can also be an Orlando beach vacation, a golf vacation, a luxury cruise vacation, and much more.

Rather than renting a room at a busy hotel right next to Disney World that is overpriced and overcrowded, renting a vacation home allows you the freedom to travel to all of Orlando’s hot spots, hassle free.

The Perfect Vacation Home for the Whole Family

With online vacation home rental agencies, finding the perfect vacation home for the whole family in Florida is a breeze. And I do mean the WHOLE family. Bring the dog, cat, bird, lizard, or whatever family pet you have. Thanks to the power of Internet databases, you can quickly and easily find a pet-friendly Florida vacation home in seconds. Try that with a hotel!

Furthermore, you can quickly and easily search for a vacation rental home with a private swimming pool, as many or as few rooms as you desire, homes with game rooms supplying billiards tables and big screen TV’s, on site staff, a full kitchen, and much more. Once you know the advantages of a vacation home rental, you’ll never want to stay in a hotel again.

Tips for Choosing a Vacation Home

When looking for a vacation home, you’ll first want to consider your needs. How many will be in your party? If it’s just you and a spouse or a couple friends, then number of bedrooms probably won’t be a concern for you.

If you are bringing the entire family or planning a trip with a large group of friends, then make sure to get a house with plenty of rooms. You might also want to consider a large living room, multiple TV’s, a swimming pool, on site staff to handle cleaning or even cooking, a gaming room with available games (ping pong tables, billiards table, foosball table, etc.) and so forth.

Also, consider the location. Whatever your plans are, be sure that the vacation home you rent is central to the action so you won’t have to travel far.

Are you planning a holiday to Walt Disney World in Florida but don’t want it to break your budget? There are plenty of money saving tips that will make this holiday of a life time that bit more affordable.

The biggest tip that everyone knows is to book a motel or hotel off site of the Disney World Resort complex, or at least stay in one of Disney’s value resorts if you must stay on site. By doing this you can reduce your expenses by a significant amount.

There are also a few common sense ways to save money, which may be difficult to avoid if you have small children as they don’t realize the cost of things. This is to try not to buy as many gifts, souvenirs and snacks as you may want. Not only is it hard to keep your young children from wanting a gift to bring home to remind them of one of the best vacations in their life, it’s tempting to buy a souvenir or two for yourself so that you can treasure the memory of visiting Disney World Florida.

Also, dining out every night can bump up the bill as eating out can be expensive if you go to a higher end restaurant or diner. Having a few nights snacking at the local McDonalds or ordering fast food carry out can help stretch your money a bit farther.

A common question that is asked by people is, “Is it cheaper to go at off peak times?” Well the answer here is yes and no. During high seasons you can usually get exactly the same discounts as if you went in low season, but less people can benefit from these discounts as more people want to go during high season. So by booking early you will increase your chances of receiving a discount rather than booking a last minute deal.

When booking your vacation, don’t let the travel agents push you into the top package that gives you all the benefits. It usually works out better financially if you buy the room separately rather than purchasing a package deal. And usually there are far less consequences if you should need to cancel or change your travel plans.

Have you already decided to stay at the Disney Resort? Which resort hotel should you pick? The “All Stars” is the least expensive so far and has the most practical shuttle bus service during those busy hours as well as the quieter hours due to the bigger population of people stopping there. The next in the line is “Port Orleans” which is also known to have a great shuttle bus service but is slightly more expensive then the “All Stars” resort. However,it is a bit more luxurious.

Pierre Smith asked:


e considering to visit Disney World in Orlando, Florida, you should have the right ticket combinations to get access to the several great attractions of Walt Disney World Park. There are just so many choices and adding combinations could be utterly disconcerting to inexperienced people. Therefore, it is best for visitors, newbies particularly, to advise with a travel agency who normally suggests having Disney World Passes.

Disney World passes will allow entry to all the four theme parks, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios for one day. Pass holders are also entitled to get free usage of the Disney World transport system so that they can comfortably move around from park to park.

The initial destination for pass holders would in all probability be the Magic Kingdom. This first Walt Disney theme park opened on October 1, 1971 and is best described by the word magic. After entering, guests are greeted by Disney characters that are always on the ready to amaze everyone to a marvelous world of fun and phantasy.

Blessed with these Hopper Passes, a family can relish the daily parade called “Share a Dream Come True” where participants include larger-than-life Disney characters and live performing artists marching from Frontierland to Main Street, USA. Some Other classical attractions to enjoy in the Magic Kingdom are firework displays at night, It’s a Small World, Cinderallabration and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Epcot could be your next stop which actually stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, and is found exclusively in the Florida Disney resort. Inaugurated on October 1, 1982, Epcot provides two discoveries: World Showcase and Future World. At World Showcase, the different art works and cultural heritage that could be found across the world are shown for you to value the variety of peoples and nations. Featured in Future World are futuristic showcases in energy, motion, technology, communication, and imaginations for both lands and seas.

Disney Hopper Passes would also open up the excitement and shine of show business as holders of these passes could visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios. At the Hollywood Boulevard there, you are immediately dazzled by the chromed art deco and flashing neon lights reminding of the Tinseltown of the 1930s. Inhabitants of that epoch, taximen, starlets, employees and detectives, dander the street to make the ambiance up a by-gone epoch. This is just one of the magnets of Hollywood Studios. Film buffs certainly would get all the time they want shlepping all over Sunset Boulevard, Chinese Theater, Hollywood Tower Hotel, The Twilight Zone of Terror and the centerpiece Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat.

The Animal Kingdom would be a proper finish for people relishing their Disney World Hopper Passes. This particular Disney Park is unlike a zoo. At its drive called The Oasis, you can move into a lush landscape with rumbling waterfalls and flowering glades, to eventually trace verdant ways showing various animal habitats from tree kangaroos to miniature deer. Then, there’s Discovery Island associated to a host of fantastic natural attractions of plant life and zoology which should unforgettably crown a whole Disney World experience.

Epcot is one of the best parks at Disney World. It’s got it all - thrilling rides like “Soarin’” & “Space Ship Earth”, fabulous attractions like “Ellen’s Great Energy Adventure,” unbelievable shows like “Turtle Talk with Crush” and even an opportunity to circle the globe in the World Showcase. But the big secret is - it’s also chock full of great Disney freebies!

Here’s a list of 5 activities, crafts, and snacks you can get for free - with directions on where to find them.

1. A Lanyard Full of Charms that Kids can Decorate Themselves.

Sharpie sponsors the 6 Kidcot stations in Future World. You can pick up a lanyard (necklace) at any of them. Visit them all to collect the different charms with fun themes like Kim Possible. Color them to make them unique.

Locations: All stations are located in Future World:

1. Innoventions East - near the entrance

2. Innoventions West - near the entrance

3. The Seas with Nemo and Friends - lower level

4. The Land - on the top level near “The Circle of Life”

5. Test Track - in the gift shop after you exit the ride

6. Imagination! - after the ride

2. Personalized Plastic Robot

This is very cool! First you build your own virtual robot and race it against other guests’ robots using the properties of plastic to give you an edge.

Then you choose the parts and colors you like and create your own real plastic robot to take home with you. This robot stands about 7 inches tall - with moveable limbs!

Location: In Future World’s “Innoventions East” at “Fantastic Plastic Works”

3. Chef’s Hat & Toll House Cookie

Nestle sponsors the Junior Chef Program where kids learn to follow a recipe and bake real Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies. When they’re fully baked, they get to sample the cookies they made. And - if that’s not enough - they also get to keep their chef’s hat!

Note: This program is available for children aged 3-10.

They must sign-up for this in advance and book a time. The groups are very small so get there early.

Location: In Future World’s “The Land” on the lower level near “Living with the Land.”

4. Need a Drink to Go with that Free Cookie? How about free soda?

This chill zone called “Club Cool” is sponsored by Coca Cola and features samples of beverages they sell around the world. It’s self-served and you can drink as much as you like. Some are yummy and refreshing. Others are … well - find out for yourself!

Location: In Future World past the Epcot Character Spot.

5. A Mask with Charms to Attach and Decorate

Pick up a mask at any country in the World Showcase, and then add a different charm at each additional country you visit. Spend some time and personalize the mask and charms with the Sharpie markers that are provided.

At the China pavilion, you can learn your birth sign (according to the Chinese calendar) and how to write your name in Chinese.

Tip: If you collect all 11 charms, you get a special bonus!

Location: In the World Showcase.

Enjoy!

Secret shoppers are so interesting.  It’s a profession anyone would love to have.  Many girls and women love to shop.  A favorite family stop in the mall is generally the Disney Store.  Whether you are going to Disney Land, Disney World, on a Disney Cruise, or are just having a fun princess or Mickey Mouse party, the Disney store is a fun place to look around and buy interesting things that you don’t see every day at your local discount store or online.

Tough financial times, however, require many stores to lower their prices.  While previously, some guests of the Disney Store found it to be too pricey, things are beginning to change!  This store used to have a bad reputation for high prices, but they often have $5 sales to off set the other bigger items in the store that might cost more.  The best time to shop at the Disney Store is after a season when they are clearance out their old inventory.  The worst time to shop there is Halloween and Christmas when costumes and other items are in high demand.  However, the day after Thanksgiving is the one day when you may find very deep sales and discounts there.  If you have time to stop by, it is always worth it.  Last year they had large stuffed Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Jasmine dolls on sale for $5 each!

Girls favorite items at the Disney Store can range from sleepwear to princess costumes and accessories.  Gracing every wall from ceiling to floor you will find elegant and stunning Ariel and Belle costumes with every stuffed animal and accessory imaginable like wands, tiaras and dress up shoes.  Prices range from $20 to $50 and it is really nice that they have different sizes to fit girls 2T all the way up to 8.  Of course, there’s always the princess dishes and other clothing like t-shirts and shorts.

Many times boys like Mickey Mouse or Cars.  Whether it’s swimming trunks, model cars, or die cast vehicles, your little boy could go crazy in this fun toy store!  Some little boys like to go in and try on the fun costumes for Halloween or just for every day dress up play.  Mickey swim trunks, sunglasses, and matching beach towels are also fun and inexpensive if you find them directly after a season is over.

Don’t leave out the adults!  Many adults like to go to this store in the mall to find adult costumes, accessories, DVD’s and fun collectibles.

Of course, before your family’s next trip to Disney Land, stock up at the Disney Store before you go because once you get there, the prices are astronomical, but it is so fun to dress up as your favorite character like the princesses or Mickey Mouse.  Kmart sometimes has princess and Disney t-shirts and clothes for less expensice prices than the D.Store itself.

As an alternative to the Disney Store costumes, try Little Adventures dresses.  They are a little more simple, but they are machine washable and come in bigger sizes all the way from 2T to adult.  With a fullness slip, they are the perfect dress to pack in the Disneyland suitcase!
