Staying Cheap In Cali

So, it's been a while, but I promised my wife that I would get better at this blogging thing.

So, I'm currently staying in California. I am currently staying a couple of miles from Disneyland and the other surrounding attractions. I'm staying for $90 a night in a room that could sleep a family of four. Queen bed and fold out sofa, but you could still sleep four. It also has a mini kitchen and with the way that things have been, I was able to use my grocery card and buy three nights worth of dinner for $20. Restaurants in the area charge at least $15-20 for one meal.

So here's a thought for all of you that are looking to get out of town for spring break. Save the money for the tickets to the parks and local attractions. Stay at a Town Place Suites (or any place that has a kitchen set up). Bring your shopper cards (did your know that Kon's is tied into Tom Thumb?). Go to the parks, get the kids tired and come back to the hotel and cook a home cooked meal (by the way, the maids do the dishes) and spend time together as a family at night.

Most hotels have AV plugs on the back of their TVs, so you can download some movies to the Zune or I-Pod, plug in the DVD player, and save the cost of renting a movie in the room. (But they do have the latest releases and for $12.99, they are cheaper than movie tickets for two to any theater.)

Hope this helps anyone looking to travel a little cheaper for spring break.
