Spend the Night, Not a Fortune

Many communities feature rental homes for vacationers. Consider these points.

Guest rooms at Walt Disney World typically range from $74 (at the All Star Resorts) to more than $400 a night (at the Grand Floridian or the Contemporary). That includes transportation and special hour admissions to the parks. You will have to pay to park at Disney ($12 a day). Independent condo and house rentals start around $89 and top out around $539 a night.
Most vacation home rental companies require a three- or four-night or a week-long minimum stay.
Most rental home enthusiasts say their kids would rather play at the house than spend time in the theme parks.
