When it comes to a Walt Disney World vacation or any other trip to the amusement park, admission tickets are the least of your worries. Food, drinks, and souvenirs are the main culprits to your dwindling bank account. At Best Vacations Ever! through Preferred Guest Resorts, we want to give you all the tips for a fun and cheap family vacation. Our previous blog gave you tips on how to find discounted Disney tickets, and this blog gives some pointers on how to save money from inside the park.
Plan to bring your own food
You are permitted to bring a cooler and fill it full of snacks, sandwiches, and drinks to prevent being gouged by the over-expensive restaurants in the park. This can easily save you $30 or more per person throughout the day, allowing you to set money aside for one special treat per person that you can only buy in a theme park setting, like snow cones, churros, and cotton candy.
Buy souvenirs outside the park
There are plenty of places you can turn to for a themed souvenir item other than inside the theme park itself. Your hotel gift shop may offer key chains, hats, notepads, pens, and other such items at a much more reasonable price than you could find inside the park. This way, you need not skip the enjoyment of bringing home a unique souvenir, but it will cost you much less this way.
Opt for the refillable mug
The refillable, large mug or plastic cup might seem a little pricey at first, but consider the benefits: If you’re at a park like Walt Disney World, you buy the mug once and then you can bring it to any of the parks or waterparks and get refills for free. Instead of buying a different non-refillable drink for everyone in your family, just buy one and share. You can also fill the mug up with water to help you rehydrate.
Bring stir-in drink packets
Buy the Kool-aid or Lipton’s stir-in powder drink packets and bring a water bottle to the park. Use the free water from the fountain and stir the powder in for a tasty beverage that won’t leave your pockets empty. Bonus: Flavored water or iced tea is much healthier than soda and will help you stay hydrated.

Every little kid dreams about Mickey and Minnie or Dumbo at some point in their young lives, but not all of them get to experience the magic that is Walt Disney World. Let’s face it: It can get pricey. Park tickets for a family of four can cost you $350. But lucky for you, there are ways to secure cheap Walt Disney World tickets in Orlando. The key is knowing where to look. Here are some tips for getting your hands on those discount tickets so your entire family can enjoy visiting the happiest place on Earth!
Pre-purchase your tickets as part of a package
By planning ahead and buying your tickets at least eight days in advance, you can save up to $40 on your Walt Disney World tickets. Also, by coupling your purchase with airline tickets or hotel reservations, you can often receive a packaged deal that will save you big bucks on airfare and accommodation expenses.
Buy annual tickets
If you know your family wants to return again within the year, you will save if you buy an annual pass. Even if you only return to Walt Disney World one more time in the year, the passes will be cheaper than buying separate tickets for both visits. Also, tickets with no expiration date can be useful. With this option, any unused days can be redeemed at a later date for free admission into the park.
Become a Sam’s Club, Costco, AAA, or AARP member
If you have already paid for memberships to one of these, you can take advantage of an additional benefit in the form of cheap Walt Disney World tickets in Orlando. Travel benefits along with discounted ticket prices can be appreciated through these options.

Whether you’re burnt out at work, or just looking to get away from the ho-hum of the day-to-day—it’s time for a vacation. In fact, you can’t afford not to take one. Studies show a trip can help reduce your stress level, force you to discover new things, and refresh your attitude. Best Vacations Ever! by Preferred Guest Resorts encourages you to plan a trip for better health.
PERKS OF PLANNING
Scientists in the Netherlands conducted a study on vacation happiness and its lasting effects. One of the most surprising findings in the study was that planning a vacation made people just as happy as the vacation itself, with even longer lasting effects. The anticipation alone boosted happiness for up to a full eight weeks. So once you get the vacation penciled in on your calendar, take the time to go over the details and picture yourself enjoying the excursions you plan on taking.
VACATIONS KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY
Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, make sure you take time to de-stress and enjoy yourself—you owe it to your mind and body. Information gathered from the Framing Heart Study helped researches discover that women who took a vacation once every six years were almost eight times more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack than those who took two vacations per year.
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Chances are, if you’re on vacation, you’re not going to spend your days cooped up in the hotel watching reality TV marathons. You’re going to be outside lying on the beach or hiking in the mountains or taking pictures of iconic buildings, depending on where your travels take you. Being outside gives you direct access to the sun’s rays and Vitamin D. Sunlight is a mood-booster in itself. Vitamin D helps prevent cancer, bone disease, and depression and can help lower and control insulin. Bonus: Studies show that being outdoors for part of the day helps reset circadian rhythms, balances hormones, and promotes weight loss.
LOSE THE STRESS BY TAKING SOME TIME OFF
Taking a vacation can have a lasting impact on your stress level. Studies have shown that taking time off can reduce stressful days up to five weeks later. It makes sense when you really think about it: Reduce stress by removing yourself from the source of your stress. That’s why it’s important to plan your vacation well in advance to avoid adding further pressure on yourself—the point is to lessen your stress level, not contribute to it.
GET PACKING!
At the end of the day, you owe it to yourself and your family to take a break. Get out there and discover new places, people, and activities. Come back recharged and more motivated to give it your all.
So, are you packed yet? Do you now realize the many positive health benefits that vacationing can bring? If so, head over to www.BestVacationsEver.com to start planning your next getaway—you won’t regret it.
Most of us think we have to wait until the summer to go on vacation, but some of nature’s most rewarding sights come in the spring months. The weather in Orlando in April is just one of the many perks to an Orlando Spring Break. Orlando is one of the most sought after vacation cities in the US, which is why Best Vacations Ever! by Preferred Guest Resorts sends travel-lovers to Country Inn & Suites by Carlson Orlando-Maingate at Calypso Cay. So why is Orlando so great in April? Take your pick.
Weather
Orlando is not exempt from the Florida heat, so summer can be overwhelming. But in April, the average high is a relaxing 83 and the regular low is 60. Sounds like perfect weather for a day at the water park and a night exploring the town. April is before the rainy season, so no need to worry about April showers being the cause of May flowers. Water parks and swimming pools are open and ready for you and your family.
Activities
In April there are a number of seasonal events. For you nature and garden lovers, the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is happening all month long and on the weekends you can jam out to 60s and 70s music at the Flower Power Concert Series. If you’re there around the 15-17th, check out the Central Florida Home and Garden Show at
the Orange County Convention Center. If you prefer the arts, you can check out the Florida Film Festival (April 8-17), Florida Music Festival (April 7-9), and Maitland Spring Festival of the Arts on the shores of Lake Lily (April 17-18). There is something for everyone: You food and outdoor lovers can partake in the Ron Jon Easter Surfing Festival at Cocoa Beach (April 22-24), Spring Fiesta in the Park (April 10-11), and a Taste of Oveido (April 16).
Attractions
Orlando is full of theme parks, resorts, and beautiful hotels. Walt Disney World®, Universal Studios and SeaWorld are just a few of the theme parks. Their water parks include Aquatica, Disney’s Blizzard Beach, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and Wet N’ Wild. Those wanting to keep dry can opt for a tour of the Kennedy Space Center. Visitor with spare time to kill can take a day trip to Miami, the Everglades, or Clearwater Beach.
Don’t be afraid to step out of your summer routine and try something new. Best Vacations Ever! offers packages to Orlando simply because it is great place to vacation and, even though you are there to relax, you will never be bored.
