With the recent economic downturn affecting everyone short of Warren Buffet and Donald Trump, it has become increasingly important and difficult to squeeze the savings out of a quality vacation. Right now might actually be one of the best times to travel due to the lack of demand and the industry’s thirst for customers.

As a budget-conscious traveler, there’s tons of ways to cut costs and maximize pleasure — and we’re here to help. Come back over the next few weeks and read more about how to vacation on a budget and make the most of your next getaway! This week we’re covering accommodations, next week we’ll give you some airline tips, and then we’ll cover activities and entertainment!

Accommodations:

Traveling as a family these days can be tough. Everything seems to be more expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Why waste $1350/week on leading deal-finder websites for a basic Orlando-Disney Area 4-star hotel room when you could experience the luxury of a Gold Crown two bedroom condo for 20%-95% less! Only 2 miles from Disney World, 10 miles from Universal and right where you want to be — for less than $1099! And for even more savings you can enjoy a Gold Crown one bedroom condo for less than $809!

For much less than a hotel you and your family can enjoy the comforts of home regardless of where you are! Spread out in separate bedrooms, come together in the large family room, wind down in your own personal jacuzzi, or simply relax on the screened-in patio! With a full kitchen at your fingertips you can save enormous amounts of money that would usually be spent eating out, not to mention the quality time together for dinner at the dinning room table. Add to your vacation multiple pools, gift shops, concierge service, fitness centers, jacuzzis and in-unit washer and dryer and you’ve gotten much more out of your hard earned dollar than ever before.

This is just one example of the incredible savings that you achieve simply by choosing our accommodations! Our broad offerings include luxurious resorts from Sedona to Williamsburg as well as all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico! Treat yourself and your family to a new experience: an incredible vacation for less than you’d ever imagined!
