Cheap Orlando Vacation ? Is it even possible to cut costs on any vacation especially an Orlando Vacation? I understand that it is a question on everyone’s mind involved in planning an Orlando Vacation. I want to give you 9 great tips to follow that would help you keep more money in your wallet while planning this super fun and cheap Orlando Vacation.
The list of Orlando things to do is endless and it feels overwhelming to accommodate and buy it all and be done with it. There is so much to do, so many theme parks and attractions to visit that is easy to feel the pinch in your wallet. It may appear to be impossible but there are ways to plan a cheap Orlando vacation on a budget.
Are you ready for our top 9 great tips for a Cheap Orlando Vacation?? Here they are
1. Look for a Vacation Package: It is most of the time wise to purchase a vacation package rather than buying separate tickets for airfare, accommodation, park passes and other stuff. Theme parks like Disney and Universal also offer vacation packages including airfare, hotel accommodation, ground transportation, theme park admissions and meals. Look online for reputable companies offering good packages.
2.Keep your travel dates flexible: If you really want to save money and also have a great and cheap Orlando vacation, just keep your vacation schedule flexible. Orlando enjoys great weather throughout the year and hence if you can plan your vacation during off- peak times then you can get great deals on admissions to attractions and accommodation.We go to the parks only when they are not crowded and the lines are not crazy. Off peak travel would be the best and the weather is perfect too.

3.Cheap Airfare: You can check for some hot airfare deals which airlines offer from time to time and some websites also let you name your price too. My absolute favourites are www.priceline.com and www.expedia.com.Priceline lets you ask for a certain price and you can commit to buy only if you can get that price during the travel period selected . This is great because you would know exactly how much you can spend if you are trying to stick to a budget.
4.Look for the best deal for Accommodation : Pick your accommodations based on the travel plan and what attractions you are planning to visit. Again, I would say decide on a plan for the vacation. How many days at a theme park, which one to visit and then you can decide on the accommodation that is the best price/amenities combination.
5. Buy only what you would need at the Attractions or amenities This is a golden rule to stick to when visiting the attractions or selecting accommodations based on amenities. There would be so many good deals floating around but do not buy something that you might not use. If you know you would only be visiting the parks for 2 days then an upgrade to an additional park for extra dollars might sound inviting but might not be the best vote for your wallet since you might not use it. Similarly, there are many amenities offered at the hotels and other accommodations . Some would be more pricey since they offer amenities. But look into the amenities and see if those are the ones that you would availing at these places before selecting or paying for these hotels.
5.Rent a Villa or Vacation Home for a big family : If you are looking for accommodation for a big family it might be a good idea to check out the Vacation Homes for rent or Villas. They offer excellent amenities and they often have 4 to 5 bedrooms or more. This way you can accommodate a big family for one price per night and save on luxury hotel rentals.
6.Check Park Websites and Look for Extras in Tickets: Whenever you plan for trip to the theme parks, always check park’s website for updated information. You can get some highly discounted Orlando vacation package or some special deal. Often parks are associated with other area attractions, tourism groups, hotel association or other groups and they offer discounted tickets and passes also.
7.Dining Out Vs.Cooking Your own meals some days: If you have a stove/microwave and refrigerator where you stay, it will be a good idea to eat out a couple of days and cook your own meal the rest of the days. Cooking your own is always cheaper and you can plan some simple microwave receipes. There are many discount coupon books available at all major locations that offer great savings. You can also check out breakfast buffet places like Ponderosa Steak House. Our absolute favorite is The Extended Stay Hotels especially the one on Major Boulevard, which is a stone’s throw from Universal Studios Resort. We have stayed at their various locations and this fits great with our travel plan. These are located pretty close to major attractions and the neat thing is that they offer a small kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, stove, utensils, plates, cups, cutting board etc. that you would need to make a quick meal.
8.Just Ask : One great tip that I can give while making a reservation in person/ email or phone is to Just Ask. "Is that the best you can do?" This simple question has saved us a bundle. Give that a try and let me know.Have a Cool and Cheap Orlando Vacation on a budget.
