Travel Specials and News, December 15

Hi Everyone,
Are you still trying to figure out those last minute gifts? Why not give the gift of travel? I have had several people either purchase a trip for a family member or contribute on someone's behalf to the cost of one of our group trips.
Another great gift may be luggage. Do you remember when that used to be a traditional graduation gift? If you haven't purchased luggage in a few years and are trying to stay below the 50 lb. limit for checked luggage, you might be better off with a new suitcase. The older pieces of luggage can account for up to one third of your weight allowance. New ultra light materials are helping you save your luggage allowance. Luggage companies have also responded to TSA rules about laptops and are producing hinged laptop bags that lay flat so that you don't have to take your laptop out of the bag.

Disney

Disney: In a previous blog I mentioned Disney's buy 4, get 3 deal. According to Mousesavers, Disney has rolled out a few other specials this week as well:
  • Room only discount. For select weeks this winter and early spring, you can stay in one of Disney's value resorts for as little as $49 per night.
  • 25% off Platinum Package. This premium package includes accommodations at a deluxe resort, three meals and two snacks per day, unlimited recreation and tours, a spa treatment, seats at Cirque du Soleil, a fireworks cruise and more. Must book by February 15.
  • Disney's Cruise Line has discontinued their fuel supplements. Those of you planning a 3 night Disney Cruise will be able to take your children 12 and under free when accompanied by two full paying adults.

Cruise Lines

The cruise lines are offering deeply discounted sailings almost too numerous to mention. I have seen 7 day cruises for January as low as $399 per person.
