Vacation Home Rental: Save Money At Disney
Article by Owner Vacation Rentals
Vacation home rentals are an ideal way to save money when traveling to everyone’s favorite theme park: Disney. It does not matter if you are heading to Florida, California or even a theme park in another country all together. The cost of a Disney trip is easily several thousand dollars. Yet, one way to make it a much more affordable choice is to use a vacation home rental instead of renting a hotel in the area. In fact, if you are traveling with many people, it is even more affordable to use this type of home away from home over a standard hotel.
Why It Saves Money
There are many reasons why vacation home rentals will save you money over the standard accommodations at a hotel. For example, the largest benefits come from those that have a good amount of people coming in with them on the trip. If this is you, you are sure to save hundreds of dollars. Most hotel accommodations will have a limit to the number of people per room. Many more can be housed in one vacation home over a hotel room, saving you money before you even get to the location.
Yet, another area that can be beneficial to consider is the set up of the home. If the vacation rental has a kitchen and supplies, then you can save countless dollars by not paying high Disney prices. If you just have cold cereal every morning instead of forking out countless dollars for a Disney restaurant, you will save several hundred dollars depending on your trip’s destination as well as the number of people in your party. If you can do dinner at the rental as well, you will save even more money, in fact quite a large chunk.
Vacation home rentals make for an ideal arrangement because they are widely available throughout most areas surrounding Disney. They are usually available all year round and allow you to get the most out of your trip. In many ways, you can save your money and get a vacation home rental that has plenty of room, lots of amenities and a lower price tag than most on site Disney hotels or even neighboring ones.

When the Hotel is your vacation destination
Article by Rubel Zaman
The grand hotels from the past bring up visions of luxurious accommodations and lazy days by the pool. Many of those fine hotels are still around and travelers find them to be their favorite vacation destination. These plush architectural masterpieces, many dating back for decades, are meant to be the travelers resting place of choice and fulfill their every wish while on vacation.There are many opulent hotels around the globe that beckon travelers to come and stay a while. Here are a few grand hotels situated here in the U.S.
Hotel Metropole, Avalon, California
Originally built in 1888 by an early Catalina land owner, the Hotel Metropole was considered an Avalon crown jewel. Today as then, visitors come from around the world to enjoy some Mediterranean atmosphere in California. The island of Catalina is the main attraction for many and the hotel never disappoints with its opulent decor and old world charm, along with friendly service.
Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite National Park, California
Located on the floor of the Yosemite Valley, this luxury destination hotel is built from native stone, wood, glass, and concrete. Opened in 1927 to accommodate visitors to the National Park, the hotel was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Visitors will find the one hundred fifty thousand square foot hotel, built in a Y shape to be most luxurious with ninety nine rooms, parlors, and suites that each have accents of Native American designs. Additionally there are twenty four cottages, all of which blend in harmoniously with the Yosemite Valley cliffs. Skiing and hiking are popular activities in the area. The Ahwahnee Hotel was a participant in the movie “The Shining” as parts of it were used to represent the Overlook Hotel seen in that movie.
Mohonk Mountain House, Shawangunk Ridge, New York
Near the southern border of the Catskill Mountains, Quaker twin brothers built the grand hotel on their land between 1879 and 1910. There are two hundred sixty six guest rooms which include twenty eight tower rooms, a pool and spa indoors, ice skating rink outside for use in winter months. Mohonk translates to “lake in the sky” and has been featured in an original print by Currier & Ives. The original Quaker brothers were advocates of temperance and allowed no liquor, card playing, or dancing on their premises. All that has changed however and the hotel got a liquor license in the nineteen sixties.
Visitors keep busy with horseback riding, tennis, croquet, swimming, and fishing. A full service spa, fitness center, golf, and rock climbing are all activities enjoyed by guests. Open year round, the Mohonk Mountain House has what they call a “full American plan” which includes three meals plus afternoon tea for all overnight guests.
There are many more hotels which can be considered “destinations in themselves” as they have so much to see and do they do not need outside influence and are self reliant regarding what they have to offer their visitors. While many of these influential accommodations have historic value, others are more modern in build such as the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California or the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort and Spa on the Hawaiian Island of Maui.
