Gaylord provides these tips to help travelers who want to have a little luxury but not break the bank.
Plan your meals well. Packages that offer breakfast are a good option. Look for family-friendly restaurants where children can eat free if you have kids. You can purchase lunch staples if your hotel room has one.
Save money for fine dinners Look for coupons and ask the front desk about discounts offered by nearby restaurants before making a reservation.
– Travel with family and friends. Many hotels and entertainment locations, like museums and theme parks, offer discounts for large groups.
Be smart about what you pack. Do not bring items that are not provided by the hotel, such as shampoos and soaps. You can bring water bottles that are refillable so you don’t have to buy new ones every time. A stroller is a great way to save money on renting a baby seat if you have a small child.
