Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for even more travel deals!

Our boys are HUGE Harry Potter fans they are the perfect ages to take them to the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. January is a great time to go to Orlando because it one of the slowest times of the year.

How to stay cheap in Orlando:

Every time we go to Orlando we find a vacation deal in Ebay that includes a stay at a luxurious condo and park tickets to either Disney World or Universal Studios for $300 or $400 depending on how many nights you stay. We've done this about six times! This is an incredible deal because park tickets alone are more than $100 each! The catch is you have to listen to a 90 minute sales presentation, but really it isn't so bad and is a small sacrifice for the huge savings.

This trip we stayed at the beautiful Silver Lakes Resort that borders Disney property. We had stayed there before and knew it was a great family friendly resort with a huge pool, private theater and other nice amenities.

This is the first time I've ever seen an Orlando condo promotion on Ebay that included 2 adult 7 day park hopper tickets to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. The park tickets alone are valued at more than $500!

I booked this promotion through allgoodvations on Ebay. They can customize your vacation package for you if you call them at (423) 245-8200. They were able to setup our vacation for 5 nights with the 2 adult - 7 day Universal park tickets. The total was $435 plus $10 per night for tax. Where else can you stay in Orlando for $485 in a one bedroom condo PLUS Universal Studio park hopper tickets?

Pro Tip: Be sure to read the eligibility requirements on the Ebay listing to make sure you qualify for the condo and ticket promotion. This promotion usually doesn't work if you're traveling in a group with another couple or family.

P.S. Don't ruin your vacation by buying the timeshare they will try and sell you at the presention. It's really not a good deal!

$149 for 4 days/3 nights in Orlando PLUS 2 Disney World Tickets!

Condos

Our FREE day at the Magic Kingdom, February 2013.

We go to Disney World almost every year because it can be such a cheap trip! We're headed there again in April and I just firmed up our hotel reservations. We have been booking package deals to Orlando since 2008. These packages include three to five days at a hotel or condo AND two Disney World tickets. We usually find these package deals on eBay. However, I found the best deal I've ever seen to Orlando with Endless Vacation Rentals, it even has a promo code to make it cheaper!

For $199 you get 4 days/3 night at Holiday Inn Maingate East plus two Disney World tickets. You can save $50 if you use promo code 'deals' or 'travel 50' so the price drops to $149! The $149 is for the entire package including hotel, tickets and transportation. The two Disney World tickets are valued at almost $200 alone so you can see what a great value this is! We love booking these packages when we go to Orlando and we've done it at least five times!

Here are the package details:

2 adult Disney World one day passes
1 guestroom that sleeps 4
FREE shuttle services to Disney Theme Parks
Use of hotel amenities and services
Additional nights start at $69 per night
$10 off Planet Hollywood, Buca di Beppo & Planet Dailies
120 minute resort preview (click the link to see the terms and conditions)
Tickets included with this promotion will be received after the timeshare presentation is completed
Hotel tax of 13% and a resort fee of $5.00 per night paid upon check-in and are not included

To get such a great deal you are committed to attend a 120 minute resort presentation. This does cut into your vacation time, however it's time well spent when you consider the retail price of this package is $611! You're saving $462! That makes it well worth it for me.

Here are some tips about having a positive resort presentation experience:

Start your stopwatch. You've committed to 120 minutes of presentation, not a minute more.
Tell them where you have to go in 120 minutes so you can get out of there and on with your vacation (be honest and have a plan).
When the sales person asks why are you there tell them you are interested in learning about vacationing.
Don’t give in to ‘buying is better than renting’ sales pitch. Buying isn't always better than renting.
I always tell them I'm trying to get out of debt (like paying off my house), not get into more debt .
The magic 5 words –“I can’t and I won’t”. It works every time!
Be honest, courteous and grateful!
