Top Family Vacation Destinations II

Alright!! We're good to go with Paris. We know that off-season saves us plenty of $$$$$, plus it remains free form the tourist hordes. It's easier to book hotels and we find plenty of cheap airfares. Most online travel sites offer airfare discounts, but I found some great travel deals at Cheapoair. They have top travel deals year round. I bet these are incredible!!

So what lies next in the line? Something domestic? Maybe! How about a family break in Orlando?? America's beloved Orlando is a BIG hit for family vacationers around the world. Who can resist Disneyland!! Mickey Mouse & Co are household names, no? But it can really burn a hole down the pocket, especially with theme parks charging adult fees for kids who have just turned 10!! The expenses might leave you with eyes popping out, but there are tricks to save the big money.

Yes, you don't really have to be a high roller for your kids to have a slice of Orlando. There are several ways of doing this on a budget.

The first thing is to save as much as you can on airfare. Book in advance, do it off season, go for the lowest fares, be flexible with dates, fly on off-peak days and hours...do whatever it takes!!

The next big savings is going to be on hotels and car rentals. All inclusive vacations packages really help a lot here. But remember to compare prices all inclusive vis a vis cheap airfare, hotels, car rentals and food taken seperately. See what fits you best and book accordingly.

While you're in Orlando, always grab the Seasons Passes available for entry into Theme Parks. All theme parks offer seasons' passes, which give you the edge. The cost for such passes is almost equal to the price of two days' admission. But the advantage of these passes is that they offer unbelievable discounts on food, shopping, free parking, early entrance and plenty of other benefits. Without a pass, you have to pay 100 percent for every lip smacking cuisine which you may want to gorge on, you don't get discounts when you go shopping...So, next time when you're doing a theme park, always go for Seasons passes. You'll save a fortune!!
