Orlando Vacation…WOW!
I went to my favorite airline vacation package site to check out how their prices stacked up to ours as it related to an Orlando vacation. I was shocked! The amount of money being charged was considerable and that was without their airfare included. No wonder so many people tell us day in and day out how impressive our low nightly rates and theme park tickets are compared to others.
I went so far as to find theme park tickets on the site. Those were the same as gate prices with no discounts being offered. All I could say is WOW!
Now I know this airline is one of the largest carriers to Orlando. They advertise they are the most competitive when it comes to their cost of air service….very few if any beat them at their game. However, I thought it interesting that philosophy did not channel over to their vacation package department.
We all know that the economy is in the dumps. Times are difficult and a Disney World Vacation at the prices they are charging is indeed a luxury.
To truly save money take the test…do the math…go to your favorite airline site look for packages. Then select Orlando as your destination. Put in the dates of travel, if you have to put in the airfare, list it and then go back and do the flights separately without the theme park tickets and hotel stay. You will then have a net price for the Orlando vacation package without air. Then go to www.orlandovacationhotels.com and check out a package with a similar hotel.
You will be impressed with the startling difference!
