Summer is here and it’s time for fun, sun and family vacations! Memorial Day weekend is usually the travel kick off of the summer and it’s been no different for us this year! We planned our first ever trip to the most magical place on earth – DISNEY!
YES! We hopped in the car and took our family of 5 on a 20 drive to enjoy Disney World and the beach for the first time for us all! Talk about fun AND a little stress. haha! BUT, with some planning, it wasn’t as stressful as you’d think. We talked to a lot of friends and family and got some tops tips for traveling and for Disney. Who knew there would be so much to learn about Disney – but there is! And with our long drive, we knew we’d need to stop in a hotel along the way to give our kids (and ourselves) a break from the road. But, when you’re traveling to somewhere you’ve never been, it’s hard to choose a hotel to stay out that will be nice and within budget.
My Top Hotel Money Saving tip is to use hotel rewards programs to book travel! I’ve had some really good luck with hotel reward services on finding good deals and quality accommodations in the past – such as IHG.
IGH works with hotels such as Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crown Plaza and Candlewood Suites. All really nice options for families! You know that you’re going to get a nice, clean room with exceptional service. That’s a plus when traveling with kids. It’s always nice to have a suite – a room with a separate bedroom, when you have kids and you can find that with a search of a website, online chat or by calling IGH. I also love that you can earn points for reward toward travel. So, the next time we travel, it costs a little less. Another big PLUS in my book! Make sure you’re getting the most for your money and earn “money” or points towards the future. That’s just smart budgeting!
