How to Book an Affordable Vacation as a Single Father

When you want to take the kids on vacation you have tons of things to plan for – including how to find the best prices. Unfortunately there are a few things you’ll need to look out for to ensure you’re not paying more than you have to.

Watch out for double occupancy fees

Depending on where you’re staying or what type of trip you’re taking, you may run into double occupancy fees. Essentially these offer accommodations, food, etc. at a set rate, but the price per person requires at least two guests to take advantage of the deals. This shouldn’t be a problem for you – after all, you’re taking the kids along, right? Not always

You’ll need to check and see if the kids are included in this deal. Their price may be lower than normal, but some places require at least 2 people over a certain age. For example, a cruise may require at least two paying passengers over the age of 12. On some excursions, the age may be as young as 8. What does that mean for you? It means that even if you take four kids along with you, the company may require you to pay for an additional adult that’s not even traveling for you. The simple solution is to read the fine print and know what you’re getting into before you begin.

Make your accommodations a part of your destination

No matter where you go or what your plans are, it’s likely that your accommodations will take up a large portion of your budget. A great way to make the most of this money is to book your trip to a resort hotel or incredible vacation home. There are really affordable examples of both in Orlando and they provide a great way to enjoy all the attractions that Orlando has to offer, while also enjoying a day or two to relax in your vacation home or explore your resort.

Don’t miss out on obvious discounts

What do we mean by obvious discounts? Well, there are lots of discounts that people simply don’t know to ask for. For example, did you know that you can get discount theme park tickets simply by buying from a third party? These work the same way that tickets work if you buy them at the parks, but you’ll have the added bonus of having bought them in advance – plus you’ll save a pretty penny!

Visit lesser known attractions

You’ll want to check out the places everyone raves about, but don’t forget that there are often great places to visit that are off the beaten path – and are much less expensive than the more popular tourist destinations.
