April 28, 2008
As anticipation builds for the economic stimulus rebate checks set to hit mailboxes this May, it’s a perfect time for families to begin thinking about applying the money towards a Florida family summer vacation. I thought it would be helpful for your planning to give you some tips on how to get the most value from your rebate bucks:

According to the results of the recent Hotwire 2008 Travel Value Index, Orlando was named the top destination in the east for a vacation that provides the best value and entertainment options. Finding the deals can be overwhelming. Here's a few to get you started. Summer is a great time for values, so if the check arrives, you'll have an idea how to spend it.

  • Admission to Unexpected Orlando treasures including: Orange County Regional History Center, Orlando Science Center, Orlando Museum of Art, Harry P. Leu Gardens and the Central Florida Zoo. (Total cost: $184.80)
 

Options for around $1200:

  • 4-Park Orlando Flex Tickets (Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld Orlando and Wet N’ Wild) and a four night/five day stay at a value hotel such as Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista. (Total cost: $1,027)
