Everyone needs a vacation every once in a while, and your family is probably no different. But let’s face it – with gas prices at sky-high levels and already-high hotel rates on the rise, it’s getting harder and harder to take an affordable vacation that won’t break the bank.

When it comes to containing costs, it’s always better to rent out a vacation home than make hotel reservations for your entire family, only to stay amidst the maddening crowd of other vacation seekers.

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, then renting a vacation home is probably your best option – especially if you’re looking to save some money.

Cost and Space Issues

If you have a large family (4+ people), then you probably find it difficult to go on vacation due to hotel costs alone.

It is hard, if not impossible, to find a hotel that can accommodate every member of your family in less than 2 separate rooms. That makes planning a family vacation a logistical nightmare – and an expensive proposition.

You can rent an Orlando vacation home for less than the cost of 2 hotel rooms – which means that you will be able to spend your hard-earned money on other things, such as visiting an extra theme park or a special dinner out.

In addition, Disney area vacation rentals are a lot more spacious than hotel rooms – there is space to stretch out and relax, cook, play and just spend more quality time together.

Money-Saving Amenities

When you choose to stay in an Orlando vacation home, you’ll save money in other ways as well. Depending on the home that you choose, you’ll benefit from having any extras right on site.

Many vacation homes have their own private pool and Jacuzzi. They also have video games such as Playstation and Xbox. Going out to the arcades in Orlando can be fun, but the cost does add up.

Be smart and save money where you can.

Orlando Vacation Rentals – Helping You Save Money

Vacation rentals in Orlando are all about affordability. You are obviously going to save a lot of money by cooking or barbequing yourself. On a typical 1 week family vacation, restaurant costs typically account for nearly 50% of total expenses. That’s a lot of money!

By cooking in just half the time, you’ll have extra money to spend on little splurges, such as trinkets and souvenirs, or even a short side trip to the Kennedy Space Center or Busch Gardens.
Just because the economy isn’t the best doesn’t mean that you can’t take your family on an affordable vacation. Rent an Orlando vacation home, surprise your family by giving them the time of their lives, and save some money in the bargain!

Florida Spirit understands how important time away on vacation is with family and friends. We also understand how increasing fuel prices affects our every day lives and can even affect our decisions about spending that very special time away from home.

Florida Spirit is offering free gas cards to help with the expense of coming to the Orlando area and take a break from it all in a beautiful vacation home with a private swimming pool. Florida Spirit is giving away a $50 gas card for reserving a 3 to 4-night stay with us before the end of May. For those who need a little more time on vacation Florida Spirit is making the decision even easier, by giving a $100 gas card for reserving 5 nights or more.

Simply make plans for your vacation before the end of May 2008 and regardless if fuel prices go up or down you can smile because you got a great deal on a great vacation home just minutes from Walt Disney World with Florida Spirit Vacation Homes.
