Take hundreds off your hotel stay

“To save on hotels, check out vacation club rentals on sites like DVCRequest.com or DVCRentalStore.com, where vacation club members sell their unused days, which are fully transferable. And you don’t have to be a member to take advantage of the savings. For example, we booked a villa at Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii for our family of five at a 30 percent discount. The villas come with kitchens and there’s a Costco nearby, where we stocked up on food. We saved about $200 per day, and that allowed us to splurge on fun activities like attending a luau at the resort, which was amazing.” —Amanda Osuna, mom of three, Honolulu
