Fast food and sit down restaurants really add to the expense of a vacation, especially when a family eats three meals a day this way. When vacationing I always advise people to look into extended stay hotels. You save in two ways. These places have kitchenettes with good size refrigerators, microwaves, and cooking ranges allowing you to make your own meals. Second they can be much cheaper than a regular hotel. Inn Town Suites for example has rooms in Orlando Florida for as low as $190 a week. I completely agree with tip #4 Make sure your hotel or vacation rental has a full kitchen.

For one, prices are definitely cheaper; and also because that's where the best foods are. :) So, if you can locate a place where the locals hang out, for sure you'll enjoy your stay.
