Disney’s Night-Tastic!

Disney has brought back the Main Street Electrical Parade! It must be 20 years since I last saw it and it looks and sounds great: A cheer went up from the crowd around Town Square as soon as the familiar fanfare began.

There are new Tinker Bell and Pinocchio floats and they just blend right in with all the old favorites. New lighting flourishes took nothing away from the nostalgia factor. In addition, there was a new float with the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs unit, so that was a nice surprise.

Its great to see this parade back. I really missed it!

Many visitors try to stay at the parks all day and finally give up because the kids are too tired. Thus they miss what can be a fantastic end to the day. When you have a vacation rental in Orlando, you can sleep in and go to the parks later in the day without being disturbed by housekeeping as you might be in a hotel. Alternatively, you can come back in the afternoon for a nap, avoiding the hottest part of the day!

Recession – Not for Orlando Vacation Homes

Well, its the end of the first week in January – peak booking season for vacation rentals. I wasn’t sure what to expect to be honest. The press and TV news is full of gloom and despondency but despite all that, we have had our best ever week securing 17 weeks of bookings for one property alone! Its interesting also that despite the strength of the Dollar relative to the British Pound, there are still many, many enquiries for Orlando Vacation Homes from Great Britain. Perhaps its not quite as bad a picture as we have been led to believe!

Its Going To Be a Great Year

I really think that 2009 is going to be a really good year for Orlando vacation home rentals! We are already booked pretty much solid till April and the enquiries are pouring in for later in the year.

I can’t say I’m too surprised though. I mean with the media tring to tell us that the end of the world is just around the corner, you’d want to take one last vacation to Disney wouldn’t you?? It is the ‘happiest place on earth’ after all!

Not only that, people are finally realising that when they go to Disney, its much more economical to have a vacation home rather than a hotel. Sure, you need to rent a car to get around but gas is cheap again and it means that you are not a ‘Disney prisoner’ limited to the restaurants that the transportation system will take you to.

With vacation rental rates from less that $75 per night for a complete home its not surprising that people are looking seriously at orlando vacation homes for their accommodation needs.
