If you have the luxury of taking your vacation anytime throughout the year, you can save big by going to popular vacation spots during “off” seasons. Now, this might entail a bit of research on your part, since different areas of the country consider different times on and off season. While most people think that Christmas is an off time of the year, it actually is one of the busiest for Disney.
For Florida, off-season is considered between Oct-Nov and Jan-Feb of every year. But, you have to be careful and check, since early February is considered off-season in Florida, but late February gets into the spring break time and you can see costs jump 50%. Booking during an off season has another benefit, especially for large families. Since hotels and attractions are motivated to fill their empty spaces, many offer deep discounts for multiple room bookings or group purchases.

As the warm weather approaches, it’s time for many to start thinking about family vacations . Many average families have a hard time saving for a yearly excursion. For a large family, it can be near impossible. Take heart, there are ways for even a family of 10 to take an enjoyable vacation without breaking the bank. Whether your family is planning a camping trip, excursion to a local historical spot, or a trip to Disneyworld, here are some tips that can help.
Okay, this is pretty much a given for any family, but for a large family it can mean the difference between little savings and big savings. For a simple excursion, give yourself a 2-3 month head start. For a big trip, say to Disney or another popular destination, plan a year or more in advance. Many hot spots have deals for early bookings, allowing you to save big. Also, when you book early you increase the chance of being “bumped up”, meaning if there is an overbooking the early-birds have first chance to be moved to more luxurious accommodations at the same price of their initial reservation .

Vacation is the coveted goal of almost everyone. The anticipation is almost as exciting as the vacation itself. It is a time where you put your work and worries behind. Whether you are having a vacation with your family, friends or a loved one, planningit well from start to finish will ensure that everyone have a wonderful time.
Travel and vacation planning is key to avoiding last minute preparation burnout. If your vacation truly is “a period of time devoted to pleasure, rest or relaxation,” then don’t leave everything on your “to do” list for the night before you leave.

Sometimes there is just not enough money to do a big vacation , or perhaps you want to do something small so you can save for that dream vacation next year. Remember, you can still have fun and take a relaxing break.
• Don’t forget your own backyard! Okay, not literally, but many people are very surprised to find out there is a ton to do in the area they live in. Living in Chicago, we joke that most residents have never been to the skydeck of the Sears Tower, a popular stop for outside visitors. Even if you don’t live in a big city, you can usually find there is a lot to do within a reasonable driving distance. Contact your local vacation bureau and request a packet of information; most places will send this to you free of charge. Many low-key destinations are eager for the vacation business and you can find great prices on everything. You’ll also find they are more flexible with hosting large groups. Another plus to travelling near home is that some attractions have special discounts for residents, particularly during slower seasons.
• Weekend getaway. As much as many of us would like to get away from it all for a week or more, sometimes finances will just not allow that. Instead, consider a weekend getaway. My mom was a single mom of 4 kids. We used to have a blast going to a local hotel for an overnight stay. The particular hotel had a pool, game room, mini-golf course, and more inside. It was relatively cheap to do and we all had a blast…not to mention fond memories.
• School tickets and vouchers. Many theme parks and tourist spots will offer coupons and/or free ticket to kids with good grades. You can get these through your child’s school, as well as many homeschool group organizations. Even if a few of your children earn these tickets, it will lower the overall cost of a trip, and it may save you enough that you can rent a hotel room in the area for a night!
