Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Sometimes we need to stop and thank our men and woman in uniform for their courageous service to our country. Often times we do not think about them, but if it was not for our military we would not be able to enjoy the freedom we do today.

Orlandovacation.com would like to take $25 off  the price of all military personnel vacation package deal to Orlando. This is an additional saving on our already low discounted prices.

It has also been brought to our attention that Disney World is offering all Military Personnel and their family members a deal we could not believe. All military personnel can get a 4 day Disney World Ticket for $99. This is a great deal, all military personnel are paying less than $25 a day to visit Disney.

Wizzarding World of Harry Potter

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Last month Universal Studios opened the Wizzarding World of Harry Potter and I have waited a few months before I wrote a piece about the theme park. I will also admit I have not actually been to the park, but this is what I have heard from our guests.

1. The Island is themed really nice and if you are a big Harry Potter fan it is really fun.

2. The crowds and the lines to get anything are quite long.

3. There are not many rides on the island, it is primarily made up of gift shops and stores.

When Universal first said that they were opening the Harry Potter Theme Park I thought it was going to be a whole separate park, but in reality it is an island at Islands of Adventure. The crowds will more than likely die down once the newness of the attraction wheres off. I did here that the buttered beer is awesome.

If you would like to visit the Harry Potter Attraction we have quite a few nice hotels near Universal Studios.

Disney Good Neighbor Hotels

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

There are many good reasons to stay at a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel but here is the reasons Disney puts a lot of effort into the Good Neighbor program.

1. Guest Satisfaction- Disney knows that a good hotel stay can make or break a vacation and they also understand it is not realistic to for every guest to stay at one of their properties. So they developed the Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels Program, so they could steer guests into the nicest hotels around Disney World.

2. Groups- There are a lot of groups which come to Disney World every year and not all groups want to stay at a Disney hotel so Disney’s reservation department puts them up at the Good Neighbor hotel which fits the groups needs the best.

3. Disney wants nice hotels built around Disney World. Can you imagine if all the guests who went to Disney World stayed at a Disney owned  hotel. You would have nothing but a bunch of foreclosed and desolated properties that guests would have to drive by to get to Disney World. This is not what Disney wants and the guest don’t want it either.

If you are looking for a nice Disney Good Neighbor Hotels to stay at on your vacation please check out the hotels we work with. All of our hotels are really nice and they are all offering great rates.

Pizza Places near Radisson Worldgate

Friday, July 9th, 2010

When you’re traveling in a large group, one of the biggest decisions of the day is when the group determines where to eat. Let’s face it, when you’re traveling with kids, it’s hard to find a restaurant that will please the entire family. Pizzerias are ideal choices for a family or group. With different toppings to choose from, kids can get creative and customize their order to meet their specific tastes. Another benefit of pizzerias is the cost, since a few shared large pizzas can feed a whole group, your total bill will be far less than if you opt for a steakhouse. One of the best bargains for pizza is at CiCi’s pizza buffet. At CiCi’s , the family can feast on fresh pizza at an incredibly low price that’s usually around $5 per person. The buffet at CiCi’s includes a salad bar and a dessert bar, which can replace an otherwise costly trip to the local ice cream shop.
