Orlando Wants YOU! And Wants to Deal – Just as I Predicted

January 13, 2009 | Posted in: Deals,Southwest,Tips and Tricks

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote the following – in my weekly column for ABCNews.com:

“Watch for destinations with a heavy reliance on tourism to begin subsidizing travel in some manner, just to get the bodies to the resorts.” –Rick Seaney, FareCompare

Well, guess what? Orlando has just launched a new program — loaded with freebies – to entice the tourists.

Check out their deals in a new website – “Bundles of Free Smiles“. The promotion runs now through June 1 (with blackout dates at Easter and Memorial Day) and features free admissions and free hotel stays. Some examples:

  • Universal Orlando Resort – Book 3 night vacation pkg, get 2 nights free
  • Walt Disney World Resort – Buy 4 night vacation pkg, get 3 nights free and theme park tickets
  • Southwest Airlines – Book a SW Vacation to Orlando, flight + hotel for 3 nights or longer, save $100

    We are seeing amazing deals on Disney and Orlando in general. The economy being what it is, now is a great time to head to Florida to catch some sun and visit the parks.
