Spring Break 2009 - The Best Packages For College Students


By Ted Carroll


Spring break 2009 will be a very memorable experience for most college students. Its very important to know which packages are worth the money. Its also important to know which trips are popular if you want to be where the action is.

Price is the main factor for spring break vacations. Most students can't afford to pay $1000 for spring break. If you take this into consideration, you can eliminate many packages right off the bat. Stay in the sub $500 category if you want to be with the majority.

Try to concentrate on the key elements of each package. Don't be hypnotized by free food and drink promotions and other incentives that typically turn out to be worthless. The internet is full of travel agencies that offer this type of incentive. They usually end up being available to anyone at the destination. Many businesses and hotels offer 2 for 1 drinks specials and free food (such as buffalo wings) during the month of March. This type of thing is available to anyone, its not exclusive to one package.

Look for packages that offer more social interaction. Flight packages are expensive, plus its hard to move around and talk to your friends. Spring break cruises offer more freedom, and the party starts when you board the ship. This is not the case with flight packages. The party starts when you arrive at the hotel with a flight package. Many college spring break students are starting to realize they can have just as much fun traveling to the destination.

Spring break 2009 can be your best ever. Do your homework and find the best package for you and your group.

Orlando, Florida - The Areas and Best Locations to Stay in Orlando



By Orson Johnson


Often called the Oasis of Entertainment, it is rather impossible to just pin down one specific area when discussing the areas and best locations to stay in Orlando, Florida. Visitors can take their pick of at least 7 specific locations. And when used as a personal base-of-operations, each of these areas will put you in close proximity to a variety of recreational spots, theme parks and lodging options that ensures your stay or vacation to Orlando, Florida will be fun and memorable.

Lake Buena Vista: This is the largest and newest location for places to stay in Orlando County and is professionally managed by the Walt Disney Corporation. A wide range of hotels that are generally affiliated with national or regional hotel chains are the most wide-spread accommodation options of vacationers. Lake Buena Vista is one of the areas and best locations to stay in Orlando simply because it is located near Walt Disney World in addition to the areas close proximity to great shopping and dining.

Disney World's Resort Properties: For the true Disney fan or the family that enjoys the Magic Kingdom so much they want to own property right in or near the park, this is the place for you! For vacationers, there is the choice of staying in one of the many hotels within the confines of the Magic Kingdom. Staying here, visitors will never be far from the fun thanks to free shuttle bus service.

Kissimmee area: The town of Kissimmee is popular not only for its relaxed atmosphere but also for its historical importance (one of Florida's oldest towns) and great leisure activities like its championship golf courses and family activity centers. Also, finding accommodation options here should not be a problem.

Universal Studios Area: This area is rich in attractions but not nearly as rich in lodging options. Vacationers should be prepared to spend as there some truly high-priced hotels in this neck of the woods. Other accommodation options are just as expensive but the advantage is that you get to stay near a majority of family-attractions.

Sea World (International Drive) Area: The International Drive area near Sea World is a favourite of many families - especially those with young kids. Affordable lodging options can be found a little bit off the beaten path.

Orlando County Convention Center Area: Almost in Sea World's backyard, the Convention Center area is minutes away from the Magic Kingdom and is popular for that reason alone. Great shopping is another attraction as there are many "Outlet" malls nearby.

Remember, location is everything and the greater Orlando area offers areas that allow for every taste and budget.
