SHUTTLE FROM THE ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

::07 June 2010 :: :: Orlando Hotels

If you are flying into Orlando, our suggestion to all our clients is to rent a car. It cost around $17 per person to take a shuttle bus from the Orlando International Airport to one of the Disney World area hotels. If we run the math on this a family of four will pay $68 to get the hotel and another $68 to get back to the airport. This is $136 in shuttle bus fees, an economy sized rental car would not cost you much more for a weekly rental.

Here is another thing to think about…why does Disney offer free shuttle service to guests who are staying in a Disney owned hotel? Simple, MONEY! Disney knows if they get you to their property without a car you are going to eat all your meals at Disney restaurants and do all your shopping at Disney shops. The merchandise is huge business for Disney, and almost everything is marked up if you buy it through Disney or on Disney World property. Food is 25% more expensive and anything you buy at a store is marked up quite a bit.

Now if you have your own car, you can save a lot of money on your Disney World vacation by simply driving a mile or two off  Disney World property. Just look at the hotels, look at how much cheaper a hotel off Disney World property is as compared to a hotel on Disney World property. The same principal applies with restaurants and shops…everybody is competing with Disney World and they need to give the guests a reason to drive the mile or two off property. Saving money is a great motivator!

Orlando Hotels & Orlando Vacation Rentals Information

::21 May 2010 :: :: Orlando Hotels, Orlando Vacation Rentals

When you come to Orlando there are many Orlando hotels and Orlando vacation rental homes for you to stay in … it all depends on what you desire and your budget.

If you have a large family or if you simply want a little more room to spread out, we strongly suggest you look into one of our gorgeous Orlando vacation homes. We have 3, 4, 5, and even 6 bedroom vacation homes which are all professionally decorated and each comes with their own private swimming pools. These Disney vacation homes are perfect for large families that need a little more room to spread out or perhaps two families who are traveling together and they want to stay under one roof.

If you like the idea of the room that a vacation home provides, but you want the activities of a hotel might we suggest a Disney condo. These condos offer the following amenities: a gated community for the safety of the guests, huge swimming pools at the clubhouse, workout facilities, large fishing ponds, basketball courts, tennis courts, and playgrounds for the smaller children.

If you have a smaller family or you want a simple place to stay, might we suggest one of our discount Orlando hotels. We offer everything from 3 star economy based hotels to the luxurious Disney hotels, which are located inside the main gates of Disney World. All our Orlando hotels are located near the main gate to Disney World, and they all offer free shuttle service to the Disney World theme parks. Our most popular hotel is the Radisson Worldgate and Convention Center, a truly awesome Orlando hotel which is located a short 90 seconds to Disney World’s maingate. The Radisson  is one of the few Orlando hotels which offers free shuttle service to all three major Orlando theme parks.

If you know you are going to be visiting anyone of the major theme parks while you are here in Orlando, then you might want to check out our package deals which come complete with theme park tickets and hotel accommodations.  We are proud to offer the lowest Disney World vacation packages in Orlando, and we will even deliver the Disney World tickets to your Orlando vacation home or Orlando hotel for you.

ORLANDO HOTELS CHECK IN TIMES

::13 May 2010 :: :: Orlando Hotels

Most of our guests want to check in as soon as possible, but the hotels also need time to allow the previous guests to checkout. Then they need time to have their cleaning staff and head housekeeper inspect the rooms prior to allowing another guests to check-in. The standard check-in time for the Orlando hotels near Disney is 4pm.

What do you do if are arriving early? If you are traveling during low season and the hotel has plenty of rooms available then you should have no problem checking in early. If you are traveling during high season, most hotels offer an early check-in for a small fee…usually around $25 to $35. If you are wanting to check-in early and you are traveling during high season, it is best to call the hotel and let them know you are desiring an early check-in.

Here is our suggestion if you are getting to Orlando early. Most guests who are staying in one of the hotels we represent are more than likely going to be visiting one of the three major theme parks in Orlando. Our suggestion is to go to the hotel and pre-register for your room, once you have registered have the hotel store your luggage with the bell hop and then head to the theme park. Go to the parks and enjoy yourself, since you have already pre-registered once you return to your hotel the check-in process should only take a few minutes. This will not only save you money, but it also keeps you  from being annoyed by having to sit around in the lobby for a couple of hours. Another idea is that you could use the restroom in the lobby to change into your swim trunks and enjoy the pool until your room is ready.

We hope this little tip helps you, and we look forward to having you in town.

Top Tip – Orlando Car Rental

::29 April 2010 :: :: Orlando Car Rentals

If you’re  flying to Orlando International Airport and picking up a car rental, we suggest that the main driver goes to the car rental desk while the rest of the party waits for the luggage. Some car companies may try and push you to add additional insurances that you may not actually need. All car rental’s booked via Complete Orlando Holidays include complete peace of mind coverage. Any extras the car rental companies push are ‘optional’ extras payable by you locally.

All Orlando car rentals are automatic so select ‘D’ for drive; you can also turn right on a red light, unless there is a sign not too! If you have not already booked an Orlando car rental then we offer very competitive prices. Call our specialist team on 0203 002 8903 for a quote or book online today.

Orlando Vacation Homes

::29 March 2010 :: :: Orlando Vacation

The most popular segment of the Orlando lodging industry in the last three years are that of disney vacation homes. The question is WHY? The simple answer is they offer the Orlando visitor far more room than alternative lodging (namely that of renting a hotel room). Think about it… a family of four is cramped in a hotel room, but if they chose to rent a Disney vacation home with a pool, they would experience all of the comforts and conveniences of home.

Are you vacationing on a budget? The prices of the Disney theme park tickets are continually on the rise and one of the ways to offset high ticket prices is with your Orlando vacation home. Each of the Orlando Vacation Homes comes with a functioning kitchen with all the utensils, plate ware, glasses, and all the pots and pans. By just preparing breakfast in your vacation home, the savings here will justify the cost of an Orlando vacation pool home to that of a hotel.  If you need to pack less, each Disney home is outfitted with its own washer and dryer. If your children desire to watch their favorite television show and your favorite is on as well; that’s no problem, our vacation pool homes are outfitted with multiple TV’s. All of the 

Orlando vacation homes

that we represent are literally minutes to Disney World, and they all offer their own private swimming pool with lanai. I n order to search for the very best prices on an Orlando vacation home for you and your family, just put in the dates of your vacation in the search box above  along with the number of nights that you desire to stay in Orlando, Florida. We guarantee you the most exciting and attractive nightly rates for a first class top quality vacation pool home near Disney World. If you desire to book and want to make a reservation, all we require is a refundable deposit at the time of booking and the remaining balance of your Disney vacation pool home is due 15 days prior to your arrival. You might have questions prior to booking.
