Sightseeing on a Budget: Easy ways to Save on Attractions on your Next Vacation

March 15, 2016 by hewella1 2 Comments

I am so ready to start planning my summer vacation. I always try to find little ways to do some sightseeing on a budget as well as save on our airfare and hotel.

The more we save, the more awesome things we can do. I also like to go out to eat when I’m on vacation. It’s just not a vacation if you have to cook! At least for me anyway 🙂 .

I love being able to do family friendly tourist attractions and activities as a way to see the city we are in. The costs can add up really quick if you want to do several things.

How to Save Big on your Next Hotel Stay

We all have vacation budgets. A big chunk of that usually goes to our hotel stays. If you can save big on your next hotel stay, you can have more for food, souvenirs, attractions, or even go somewhere you didn’t think you could afford! Let the vacation planning begin!

It seems like I have been cooped up in this house all winter long. I am ready to go somewhere warm and sunny and just sit in a hammock sipping a margarita all day long. Anyone want to join me? We have to stick to a vacation budget so I try to save as much as possible on our hotel so that we can do more things and not have to worry about skimping on going out to eat. Here are some of the ways I try to save.

We Had a Blast at Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate!

I received tickets in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I was able to take my daughter to see the Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate! show on Nov. 25th. I attended the show in Greenville, SC on opening night. It was packed and there were so many excited kids ready to see their favorite Disney characters. I have to admit, I was excited too!

We went to the event a little early because I read that there would be a pre-show event. It said that the skaters would be warming up and they would teach the audience how to do a little dance. Well, there was not pre-show at our event. I don’t know if this was just for opening night or if they just don’t do the pre-show anymore, but we were disappointed that we got there so early and there was nothing for her to watch while we waited for the show to start.
