Cheap Disney Vacations are Within Your Reach Do you wish that you could afford a Disney Vacation? Well, the chances are that you can! All the magic of Disney doesn't have to come with an exorbitant price tag. With the right planning and ingenuity, Disney vacations can not only be reasonably priced, but even downright cheap. Get started planning your cheap Disney vacations today!

How cheap can a Disney vacation be? And what do you have to do to get one? To begin your planning, you should pick a time of year to take your Disney vacation. The best times are the off-seasons-Hurricane season (August and September), most of January, and October to November are quite times when prices are at their lowest.

Start off by deciding where to stay. Hotels in Orlando have a range of prices, but it's amazing how low prices can be if you stay off-site. It's not unusual to find rooms for $30-40 a night. If you have a large party (6+ people), you might want to consider renting a condo or home; you can often find a 3 or more bedroom vacation home in the same price range as a 2.5 star hotel. When you split the cost between multiple families, the cost can be cheaper than any hotel room available. Similarly, if visiting Disneyland, staying off-site will save you hundreds of dollars a night.

When it comes to meals, there are many cheap options in Orlando. Meals inside the Disney parks can have steep prices, so it's best to plan eating off-site as much as possible. A web search for cheap food in Orlando can help you make a food budget. Getting some basic food items at the local grocery store can also be a great money-saver if you have a fridge in your hotel room.

The biggest cost you will face on a Disney vacation is the actual admission to the Disney parks. The best way to save in this area is to buy multi-day ticket. The price of a one-day ticket to any one of the four Disney World parks is about $80 for an adult. But if you buy an adult 5-day ticket (which allows you to visit one park per day for five days), your cost will be more like $47 per day.

With these tips in mind, you too can enjoy all the magic Disney has to offer. Plan your cheap Disney vacations today!

Affordable Disney Family Vacations

Once you have decided how to arrive at your favorite Disney destination, the next step is to decide how long to stay.

At Disney World in Florida, a week-long stay will keep you busy and entertain your entire family. There is something for everyone at the Walt Disney World Resort, and magical adventures await.

Budget Discussion:

Be sure to include all members of your family in the discussion about where to stay, how long, and even how much to budget. By keeping everyone informed and involved, you are sure to head-off disappointed little ones who may want to do it all, while the budget requires choices and compromises. Study the various resources available about the different Theme Parks, or check out books at the Library about your vacation. Realize you will not be able to get everything in one day, and have everyone one in your party select the most important thing they want to see. Make sure kids know there are many opportunities to purchase merchandise, and the exact amount of money you allot to spend on souvenirs and goodies.

Activity Selections:

You may think you want to stay in the "best" resort, go to every Theme park, and all the extras like the water parks, Downtown Disney, Disney Quest, Pleasure Island, plus all the sports related activities sounds like the way to go, but your budget may be more modest. A few decisions ahead of time, and a couple compromises will go a long way to making everyones dreams come true without breaking the bank.

Choose Theme Park:

Depending on the choices your family makes, you may want to limit how many Theme Parks you will see during your stay. Perhaps you will want to spend the majority of your time at Animal Kingdom, or take younger children to the Magic Kingdom for most of your trip. Maybe you want to experience Disney's Hollywood Studios, or perhaps EPCOT. If you focus on just one or two, and maybe a water park for one day, you can take your time to explore without feeling rushed or that you have to skip things to keep to a tight schedule.

Do not forget that small children will need rest, and so do Mom and Dad! If you build in some "down time", everyone will enjoy being together more. Make sure you choose age-appropriate adventures for every member of the family, and let little ones know in advance that they may not be big enough to go on every adventure - Mom may wait with the younger ones while Dad takes the older kids on certain rides, etc. If they know what to expect, there will be less "fussing" when the time comes to implement your plans.

Choose Admission type:

Decide how many days you want to spend at each Theme Park and that will help you decide on the type of admission ticket that will best fit your needs. A multi-day park-hopper will allow the most flexibility and access, but if you only have a couple days, you may want to focus on just one or two Theme Parks, and limit the amount of "hopping" you will do on this trip.

Remember, it's better to go at a relaxed pace, get the most out of each day, and come back on another vacation rather than exhaust yourself and your kids by trying do too many things, and not enjoying any of them. Spend a little extra time to notice the small details and don't feel rushed. You might not get to everything, but your memories of what you did get to see will be happy, vivid, and you will look forward to your next trip that much more!

Best Time to travel:

You will want select the best time for your family to go. While the Christmas holidays and Fourth of July are truly magical at any Disney Resort, it is also the busiest and most expensive. If you are able to be more flexible, choose a relatively quiet time of year to go, and remember that the middle of summer is peak travel time, and the hottest time to travel to Florida.

Length of stay:

Next choosing your length of stay will help you stay within budget. Seven days may be perfect for some families, but you might have to compromise here and only stay 4 nights. Spending fewer nights may mean you will have less overall expense, but you might feel you have to pack more into each day. The best tip is to go at a comfortable pace, enjoy each choice to the fullest, relax, and realize you may decide to make another trip next year to catch some of the attractions you may have missed this time.

Choose Resort Category:

Next, choose the resort you where you want to stay. Splurge for a real treat for a fewer number of days at one of the Deluxe resorts, or go with a lower price end resort for a longer stay. Either way, you will experience Disney's legendary service and attention to detail. The lower priced resorts are big on atmosphere, fun, and very family friendly - the restaurants are more affordable, less "fancy", and are "kid friendly" meals. The Deluxe hotels offer more formal dining, and cater to a more adult pallet, though of course still plenty of options for the kids. You can dine anywhere on property, so even if you chose a budget hotel, you can always splurge on one fancy dress-up dinner at one of the Deluxe Resorts.

Choose Resort Location:

Besides choosing the price range of the hotel, you will also want to select the location. If your budget dictation only a few days, you will want to maximize your time by staying closest to the areas you plan to visit. While all the transportation on property is convenient and efficient, you will still spend less time getting around if you stay closer to one Theme Park or another. If you have small children with you, consider a resort close enough to your main Theme Park experience so you can go back to the room for afternoon rest time, and maybe a quick dip in the pool.

Planning for you Affordable Disney family vacation is the first step in your adventure!

Walt Disney World Vacations - Where the Magic Never Ends!

Affordable California Vacations

Summer is nearer and for many of us, this means some time off: time off from packing lunches for the kids, time off of work, time off of carpool or simply some time off from the daily grind that is our routine.

If you can't plan that dream getaway this year, worry not, for there are many fun and mind freeing getaways right here in our own backyards.

Isn't it always so that we forget how incredible the place we live? To remember can remind us not to take for granted those who support and love us; too often, we can take them for granted as well.

Think about it, many people flock to Northern California for their vacation! Here we have a gorgeous mountain range, The Sierra Nevada, we have some of the best wine country in the entire world, we have coastal hideaways and tourist oriented cities, the great redwood forest, world-class resorts and restaurants.

In this article we'll look at a specific region of Northern California and explore some of the experiences awaiting you on your Sierra Nevada Foothill getaway.

Let's begin with the area largely responsible for the greater area developing, because of the Gold Rush, the Coloma River Valley and El Dorado County.

El Dorado County hosts some of the best getaway vacation spots in all the state. Located just 2-hours from the San Francisco Bay Area and between both major access roads to North Shore and South Shore Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County is an excellent choice for an affordable break from it all filled with variety. It's an excellent choice as it's a relatively easy commute from anywhere in the State and it boasts some of the richest history in all the United States.

The History:

James W. Marshall discovered gold in 1848 on the South Fork of the American River in the valley the Nisenan Indians knew as Cullumah. This event led to the greatest mass movement of people in the Western Hemisphere and was the spark that ignited the spectacular growth of the West during the ensuing decades. The gold discovery site, located in the still visible tailrace of Sutter's sawmill, in present day Coloma California, is one of the most significant historic sites in the nation -  Excerpted from the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park website.

So often it's easy to overlook what's right here in our backyard, but truly, the epic Gold Rush took place right here. The park is as good a place as any to begin your local getaway. Onsite are many artifacts from the Gold Rush era, including a replica of the mill, still-standing buildings from the day, a museum and a nature trail wherein you can have a park ranger lead a walk through history.

Before you make your way to Coloma and the Gold Rush site, you have a decisions to make. Are you making a day of this? Is it just you and the family coming into town for a little history and picnic on the banks of the South Fork of the American River or are you planning a big family get together, reunion style, and you're planning to employ some of the built in barbeques they have available for your use. Is the family going to stay a day or multiple days?

There are campgrounds in the Coloma/Lotus area: Camp Lotus on Bassi Road, American River Resort on River Road. Perhaps an historic hotel suits your needs better or a bed and breakfast: The Albert Shafsky House in Placerville is a Bed and Breakfast, The Sierra Nevada House is right in Coloma and is an old hotel. Once here, what do you want to do? Are you looking for a day trip, such as wine tasting or rafting?

South East El Dorado County is recognized by the Viticulture Society as some of the best land for specific wine-grape varietals. Thus, some of the best wineries can be visited and tasted while you're right here. Personal favorites are Oakstone and Windwalker wineries both in Fairplay!

Maybe you want more than wine tasting, maybe you want wine tasting AND something else... there is so much to do but one of the greatest, most fulfilling options you can chose is whitewater rafting.

There are a number of rafting companies in the area. There are considerations to be made when booking your trip, but all in all, the whole host of companies is pretty darned good and customer oriented.

We encourage you to come whitewater rafting, raft a day or two or three. With the variety of outings available it's a great place for the whole family to meet up and reunion together. Those not into rafting, though it's good for most all ages and fitness levels, can find plenty to do for the few hours the rafters are on the water.

The historic town of Placerville, also known as Hangtown, and Dry Diggins, is home to the oldest hardware store in the west, a TruValue now. Too, the oldest newspaper in the west resides here in El Dorado County as well, The Mountain Democrat. You can make the 20-minute drive to Placerville and walk historic Main Street where you look up into building facades that have stood for 100+ years.

Want to really mix it up? Make plans to get up early and shoot up US 50 and spend a day in the beautiful South Lake Tahoe basin home to the Lake, hiking, biking, Desolation Wilderness, gaming, shopping, entertainment and the like.

Perhaps we'd all love to cruise the Mediterranean for a few weeks but it's simply not in our cards right now. You can head to the foothills of Northern California from anywhere in the State and be there within a day's drive. Once here, with some simple planning, you can have as fulfilling and diverse holiday as nearly anywhere in the world. Tens of thousands of people a year come to visit, shouldn't you? Happy holidays!
