Along with the traditional room size, AOA will also offer larger hotel rooms called “Family Suites.” Personally, I think this is a groundbreaking moment in Disney’s resort history because it now allows larger families or vacation groups to all stay in one hotel room.

I do use cash mainly for transactions of $50 or less as I don’t like to carry around a lot of loot (except when on vacation)! Gas stations, some hotels, some restaurants are examples of places you might negotiate a cash discount. Here are the reasons I use cash. There is no chance for your personal information to be stolen.

My family took a mini vacation last weekend to Pittsburgh for the half marathon. One reason why I ran the Pittsburgh half marathon again this year was because my family had such a wonderful weekend in 2012. Our first stop was the Senator John Heinz History Center , which conveniently was right across the street from our hotel.

Although some benefits are fairly standard, such as a certain number of vacation or sick days, health benefits, flexible spending plans and defined contribution plans, there may be others that are specific to your industry, level and the company. Free 3 Star Hotel Rooms. Of course I signed up with each airline and hotel for points.

We had to sell it less than 3 years after buying it, and between that and the market timing (bought in 2009, sold in 2012), we were lucky to come out of the whole situation with our original mortgage paid off completely by the sale! Do you have any tips for frugal travel or vacations? What’s one thing you splurge on?
